I have three IBM T23 and they are anything but bulky. Have you seen there new ultra slim notebooks? The thing with IBM notebooks is you pay a premium for quality and service.
They have all sorts of little features that you never notice but frankly the coolest thing is the Autonomic Computing Technology used for their rapid restore as well as other things. I think the AC Tech just got released and is not possible to use it on your system so that as specific events, conditions, situations happen you can have start, stop, cycle processes, re do db connections etc. Anyways that's a different topic but the IBM's rock. I have gone through literally over a dozen dells, two sonys, and two Toshiba's. For me most laptops last about 7 months then they get ruined. I have had my IBM's for like 12 months now and only one has a cracked case! I have also been playing with the MAC laptops and I think they are wonderful machines but for now I am going to stick with IBM. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Sparrow-Hood, Walter Sent: Wednesday, February 18, 2004 9:37 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [CFCDev] OT: The Sony Vaio or the 17in Mac Power book? My $.02. I've had many notebooks over the years. The IBM ThinkPads are the Volvo 240s of notebooks - big, bulky but indestructible. I've been using a Dell Latitude D800 with the upgraded display for higher resolution for several months now and it's the best notebook I've had yet.

Sorry to ask here, but I can't find a group of Professionals that could understand. Please let me ask the group, here is my question. I am looking at lap tops and have narrowed it down to 2 notebooks. I love the G4 17in PowerBooks, but I not ready to let go of the right click. And I don't know how I could ever develop cold fusion on a Mac OS X. But I do need a notebook, because of the time that I spend away from my Office, while taking classes at Orange Coast College. The Sony Vaio, the one with the 80 Gig Hard drive and the Gig of memory seems to be a clear winner from the "PC" types note books on the market from a All you Need type market. I like that fact that it has the new "M" processor and the lightweight of the notebook it self. SO if you had to choose from the 2, which one would you pick? If those out there that develop on a Mac, how can this be done.... Cause if there is a way, I am all ears..... The Sony Vaio or the 17in Mac Power book? Or is there any other Notebook that you could recommend? Thanks for taking the time looking into this.
