one of the things you need to look for if you're going to use any 3D
application on a laptop is shedloads of GPU memory for the depth buffering.
Limiting memory will limit the size of viewport as well as number of lines
or polys in the display.

I run XSI foundation on a HP ZD 7000 wide screen. It runs it well with only
500 megs of ram
but when the polys add up it slows down. Very very few crashes, but it does
happen once in a while. I would buy another if I had to. I have heard
mixed reviews on them (too big, short battery, bad service etc.) but I
haven't had a problem *yet* and its at least a year old.
The wide screen and the extra number keys are nice.
