Ibexx - Re: "Are you still leaning toward the Sony series in terms of quality/value/compactness?" I recommend the Sony Notebooks VERY HIGHLY! Excellent quality - and PERFORMANCE in their new machines. They offer 266 MHz Pentium II's and maybe soon a 300 MHz version. I would also look very closely at DELL - they make excellent products and appear very price aggressive. There are many other good brands but Sony and Dell are up at the top. I tend to ignore IBM and Toshiba because of their extensive use of that silly eraser/pointer - but that is my own personal preference. I prefer a track-pad pointing device (or a Wacom Tablet which I use on my Desktop). Paul

Ibexx-- Off Topic: A friend of mine runs a large notebook repair facility in Maryland. He has recommended Toshiba, Compaq, and IBM as the most durable machines. He also cautioned me to have at least a 3 year repair policy since a good percentage of machines in corporate use (20% over 3 years) do have problems.
