Inspiron 9300: which notebook is at this moment best for XSI 2005-03-16 - By Eric Lampi
Back
Well, just to chime in. Some of these workstation
laptops can be pretty heavy, so keep in mind that you
not only have to lug around the laptop, but sometimes
that powersupply can wiegh another 3 Lb or so.
I have a 9.6 Lb laptop, with the cables, extra
battery, powersupply etc.. It can add up fast,
especially if you have other stuff in your bag. I'm
a pretty big guy, and sometimes even I would just like
to leave the thing on the sidewalk after carrying it
around all day.
A co-woker just got an Acer, it has an Nvidia
PCI-Express card in it, and a Sonoma CPU, the power
supply is tiny, 17" screen and it's soooo light and
thin.. I'm seriously thinking about upgrading.
