I'm looking for a powerful laptop (core2 T9500 or simillar) with a 15" display so that I can work on it without using an external monitor at home and in the office. Netbooks are nice for the occasional work outside, carrying and repairing presentation and watching movies on the go. They are not work machines. They do have the advantage of being cheep, but like I said, I was looking for sane in work terms (~1500$) so that is not the issue. I do have a friend who claims that he can run matlab on an eee pc, but I still think that it's fiction ;-) > 2008/12/14 Micha Feigin <mi...@post.tau.ac.il>: > > On Sun, 14 Dec 2008 16:34:48 +0100 > > Bernard <bdebr...@teaser.fr> wrote: > > > >> Micha Feigin wrote: > >> > >> >On Sat, 13 Dec 2008 00:37:04 +0100 > >> >Bernard <bdebr...@teaser.fr> wrote: > >> > > >> > > >> > > >> >>Dotan Cohen wrote: > >> >> > >> >> > >> >> > >> >>>2008/12/11 Micha Feigin <mi...@post.tau.ac.il>: > >> >>> > >> >>> > >> >>> > >> >>> > >> >>>>Hello, > >> >>>> > >> >>>>Sorry for being a bit off topic > >> >>>> > >> > > >> > > >> >>Thank in advance for your any advice or recommandation. > >> >> > >> >> > >> >> > >> >> > >> > > >> >I would go with the vosotro line if you want to save money and > >> >stick with dell.
