Latitude D830 is nice. High res screen. Option for a second hard disk.

 

Lenovo has a fairly similar equivalent (T61P IIRC)

 

Cheers

Subject: [aus-dotnet] OT : Developer Laptop

 

Hi All

 

I am hunting for a new laptop to start the new year off, and was wondering if anyone would care to share some thoughts or recommendations with me as to a reliable developer laptop with grunt. I'm looking at the Dell (Latitude series), Lenovo, and Alienware ( http://www.alienware.com.au/dnn2/default.aspx?tabid=104&ConfigurationID=53). I'm particularly interested on feedback from the latter if anyone's bought one.

 

I also don't know whether 64 bit is the way to go or not so any opinions would be appreciated. Budget isn't a problem but I want a machine that'll look after a developer for 2 - 3 years.

 

Thanks in advance

 

Grant
