Go up one level in this thread


1) A 1200mhz laptop will play as well as a 1200mhz desktop in general--they have
have slower busses.

2) There is a 20% price premium ( or so ) for a machine being a laptop--i will
gladly pay this for convienence and mobility.  Yes, you can get a very cheap
desktop made by a bit player, but these don't interest me.  I'd rather pay a bit
more and get a solid machine with onsite service.

3) I like the powePC chip, and it will run many solid programs just fine.
