«

Since I kind of hang out here, I thought I'd ask you guys for some input.
It's time for me to get a laptop as a secondary computer.

I'd like to be able to run x64 (not a deal breaker, but should really speed
things up when the 64 bit apps hit the shelves). Also, my last laptop was
1990, which means I'm not up to speed on what's hot. So assume I know next
to nothing regarding laptops.

I'll be running a minimal amount of CAD with 3D rendering on this.
Occasionally Adobe Creative Suite. But mostly it will be Access, Excel,
Outlook, etc.

Some of the questions that come to mind...

- AMD or Intel?

- What brand is good for support, including turn around time for repair?
(Or should I ask which brand sucks the least)

- Are there any "must haves" I should be looking for? I'll need Internet
access on the road. Not sure the best way to handle that yet.

Also, I need a GPS navigational system. Any suggestions on one that will
work with a laptop? (They have them for PocketPC, so I assume they're
available for laptop.)

Thanks in advance guys,
-Larry

Brands: HP pavillion computers do not support 64bit OS even though they come
with 64-bit processors. Drivers for hot buttons on the computer are not
available.

That is not true, I have run my zv5000 with great succes although you do
loose the hotkeys, which is mostly a nuisance out of the way. In many ways.

Mine works - except for the hot keys. But HP support tells me they do not
support 64-bit OS. I also have a zv5000. I had a HD failure and installed
xp64 as the primary OS with a dual-boot into XP-Pro to handle apps that
won't run on XP-64. I've just ordered an extra 1/2-Gig RAM to take me up to
1.25 Gig. That is another point - XP-64 does take more RAM than comes
installed on most production laptops.

It is true, that HP - as a company - do not provide support, and for a
number of good reasons too - but the machine supports the OS completely,
except for the HP specifics.

It is also true that not all 32bit software will run, or indeed install, but
most do and they will run with excellence. This is an OS related issue.

When installing for a dual-boot scenario you should always install the older
system first, if not you are bound to see unpredictable trouble.

And lastly, it is again true that most supermarket laptops sell with only
very limited memory, and HD, but dedicated computer stores would sell this
with at least 512K. I live in Denmark, and mine was advertised with a full
GB.

Well thats a stupid move on their part, Windows XP Professional x64 is an
OEM license and OEM licenses are usually supported by Vendor.

No, that is not what I meant to say, the machine came with XP Home
installed, but it was advertised with a 100 GB HD and 1GB RAM. That was at a
time when the supermarkets advertised their laptops with 40GB HD and 256K of
RAM for nearly 300 dollars more!!!

This really was 'my-kind-of-offer' - 'I jumped'!

Hi
Buy any Acer laptop with a 64bit processor. I have one of them and it
is really cool!
hemanth

Well, if your budget can stand it, the Acer Ferrari 4005 is the best laptop
I've ever owned or used. Period.

Thanks Charlie. I just looked up the two Ferrari systems on Egghead. The
4006 is $200 more than the 4005, but comes with x64 and it's 2.2GHz. Since
x64 is $140, it would be worth it to me just get the 4006. I wasn't
expecting to spend that much. I just built a new desktop, all SCSI. I'll
work it around in my head and see if I can justify it to myself.

Do you have any heat issues? I've heard the mobile AMD runs hotter than
Intel. Don't remember where I heard that. And battery life is good?
