I am actually in the market for a new laptop also and have been very disappointed by some of the leading laptop vendors (dell, IBM err... Lenovo). They just don't sell a power packed laptop anymore. For instance, you can't even find a Dell with a Pentium 4 in it anymore (at least I couldn't). At Dell it is all "battery conscious" processors which equates to less horse power. On ThinkPad's site I was unable to configure a machine to have both a Pentium 4 HT proc along with a 7200RPM 80GB HD. So I said forget it. . . I will just go and see what Gamers are using now a days. You want a laptop that is the "sha shizzle" (as I heard a rapper once say :-) then head on over to http://alienware.com/. Check out this machine: http://tinyurl.com/3vx4k and note that you can get a large HD running at 7200RPM, you can get a 3.x GHz P4 HT processor, 2GB memory, etc all in one machine. Sure it will be a brick but how often is battery power more important than the endless hours you will spend programming plugged into a wall. Is it a little on the spendy side?.... Not really, because you are going to save A LOT of time by not waiting for programs (like WDSc) to run. If your boss debates it because "it is just a cool toy" tell him you will prove it isn't by painting it pink and slapping .NET stickers all over it ;-) HTH, Aaron Bartell -----Original Message----- From: wdsci-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:wdsci-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Pete Helgren Sent: Tuesday, December 06, 2005 3:41 PM To: Websphere Development Studio Client for iSeries Subject: Re: [WDSCI-L] Laptop suggestion ? I'd say in *general* yes. Eclipse/WDSC went from about 45 seconds to open down to about 20 seconds. Opening large documents and files has improved, regardless of application doing the opening. Of course after paying a few $$$ for the hard drive, I may be perceiving a benefit to justify the cost ;-) Pete Colin Williams wrote: >Pete, > >was that a marked improvement on all applications running on your PC, >or just WDSC? > > > >On 06/12/05, Pete Helgren <Pete@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > >>I have a Gateway M450 (Pentium M 1.5 Ghz) that originally had 1Gb and >>I upgraded to 2Gb and I saw no improvement in WDSC performance. >>However, when I upgraded to a 7200RPM drive from 5400RPM drive I saw a >>marked improvement. >> >>As was mentioned elsewhere, Eclipse is I/O intensive so a FAST hard >>drive is where to put your money. >> >>Pete Helgren >> >>thalaivar chengalvaran wrote: >> >> >> >>>Could somebody suggest a Laptop higher of 3.0GHz being used for >>>Eclipse/portal/Cloudscape developments. >>> >>>Any help is highly appreciated. >>> >>> >>> >>>__________________________________________ >>>Yahoo!
