I went for the DELL special package "Brick Outhouse " promotional deal here: dell.com $2,299 shipped * comes with the 512MB SDRAM upgrade , very important to get at least that much on any configuration you choose. Mobile Intel® Pentium® 4 processor at 1.7GHz-M 15" Ultra XGA Display 512MB SDRAM 8x DVD/CDRW Combination Drive 40GB1 Hard Drive 32MB DDR 4X AGP NVIDIA GeForce2 Go Graphics any old Flat screen for second monitor will do , they're cheap, and I'm not that choosey . Have two other laptops with second monitors too , they will all fit nicely in a row, though I prop up the second monitors behind and above in surround. Some people like a turbo set-up with the monitors slightly angled down for ease on neck or in optical~surround: ergotron.com here's another example of monitor set-ip that's pretty sweet: trikinetic.com Other really nice comparable PC's to the DELL are the Sony VAIO , a nice one w/512MB for $2,100 to $2,900: sonystyle.com or the similar Toshiba @ $3,600: csd.toshiba.com@@@@0469343370.1018331280@@@@&BV_EngineID=hadcdkclddigbfekcghcfmfdglj.0&comm=CS&plin=Portable%20Computers&pfam=Tecra&poid=202192&Adoid=141687bin/tais/pc/pc_prodDetail.jsp?BV_SessionID=@@@@1570506798.1015722990@@@@&BV_EngineID=hadcdhhfklikbfekcghcfmfdglj.0&comm=CS&plin=Portable%20Computers&pfam=Tecra&poid=207903&Adoid=164640 Or the somewhat comparable Thinkpad for $3,800 , w/512MB: d02xms020.southbury.ibm.com So in the end ----> DELL got my dough , though the VAIO was tempting ... (and I don't ever pay them on "time plan" cause they'll rape you on interest) ;-)
