All,
You may have been reading my saga about troubles with laptop computers.
Yesterday I put together a fairly comprehensive list of current
notebooks that may be of interest to some of you. My basic requirements
were SXGA+ screen (1400x1050) or greater and integrated 802.11g. Dell
is left off of the list because the two Inspiron 8500s that they sent me
both randomly freeze and this is a well documented problem.
Anyhow, the list is here:

I choose the $1949 Gateway 450X. However, if 802.11G is not a
requirement, then the $1678 Toshiba Satelite Pro 6100 is surely the way
to go, as it is a preassembled unit that ships the same day it is ordered.
Creating this list was highly time consuming and stressful, so it will
ease my pain a little to know that it has helped at least one other person.
