Jim, in my industry we're constantly doing presentations on notebooks. They perform well on desktop, but when we get to a conference room, it hardly ever runs smooth. When we shop for new notebooks, it's worth paying an extra ten grand ($1,000 for 10 laptops) and looking more professional than the last guy.

In the past, that meant PIII's all the time. K6-2's were crap, so we didn't mess with them.

You gotta be able to boot up and pull up programs quickly, which is why I'm excited about the new speeds of portables.

Because of this, I think laptops will sell well over the next couple of years - lots of speed upgrades and MUCH beter performance - many corps are still working off 500-600MHz.
