If I had a laptop....

I would want it to have the following:
  1. Pentium M processor (fast enough and power efficient according to reports)
  2. At least 512MB RAM / many now have 1GB RAM so this may become standard by the time I can get one
  3. At least 128MB dedicated graphics memory (for gamers suggested nVidia's GeForce Go 6800 Ultra w/256MB)
  4. DVD/CD RW combo drive
  5. Wireless networking, possibly Bluetooth
  6. Extra battery
  7. Possibly a docking station
  8. Mid-weight - not so small that I can't read the screen but not huge either.
Hopefully the price on laptops will go down a bit by the time I buy one...currently one with these specs runs around 1.5-2k.

yeah... laptops are quite a bit more pricey than desktops, especially since you have no choice in having them pre-built for you. if you could just buy the base package and add components (RAM, hard drive, dvd drive) yourself; it would help.

ah well; hopefully in 6-9 months you can look again and it'll be more reasonable for a decent system.
