Good evening,
I didn't comment on this thread earlier because of the originally stated
price requirement. However, I use what I think is one of the greatest
notebook computers in the world.
Fujitsu Lifebook P7230
Intel Core2 Duo U2500
2GB RAM
60GB HDD
Wireless 802.11 A / B / G
Firewire, USB, Blutooth, SD, microphone, camera
Windows XP / Vista / Ubuntu 8.04 / OpenSolaris all supported
7.5 actual hours of battery life.
3.2 pounds
HTH,
Everett
