Dan, Re: "I'm with Intel on this one: Mobile P4 is going to be barely suitable for a portable application, desktop P4 in a notebook, unless the notebook will be spending 100% of its life plugged into a wall (which happens) probably isn't a good idea." Personally, I am also against the idea of putting a high powered desktop CPU into a laptop. However, while I would not buy one myself, I find it interesting that the OEMs are eager to use desktop Pentium 4 CPUs over the mobile Athlon CPUs offered from AMD. Any explanation on this phenomenon? wbmw
