My current laptop is fairly decent It's a Dell Latitude D810 with 1 GB of ram 60GB 7200 RPM hard drive and Intel 2 GHZ centrino processor, 128 MB ATI video Card with a 15.4" Ultra sharp widescreen, built in 802.11 b & g adapter, built in 10/100 ethernet, serial port, USB ports and docking port and I must say it works great. The most important thing by far is the 7200 RPM hard drive. It is night and day compared to a 5,400 RPM.
