Macbook Pro? It can run linux, has a PCI-Express ATI X1600, integrated 802.11a/g/b, light-weight, slim (you didn't mention that), has decent battery life, is fast (you didn't mention that either), runs OS X, and may be "The Fastest Windows XP Notebook" (http://hardware.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=06/03/23/1717259) Cons: - Expeeeeennnsiiiiveee. $2,000 at least. - Only comes in 15" (don't know if you're looking for ~12" or not) ~ Nathan -------------------- BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ The opinions expressed in this message are the responsibility of their author.
