Therefore, I went with the fastest processor & most memory possible on that machine.<BR/><BR/>When I was at Oracle, I had a Terca M2, which was fast enough and didn't weigh that much at all - which was a plus, as I was doing a lot of travel. Now, my machine is heavier (7lbs or so), but I don't do any travel (so far, at least), so that's not a big deal.<BR/><BR/>You can get a capable machine for about $1000 these days - check the Internet for coupons & deals. It will likely last at least a couple of years. But keep in mind, as soon as it arrives on your doorstep, it will be out of date. :)<BR/><BR/>Thanks,<BR/><BR/>- Scott -Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01187435106015051061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8449039.post-1127499313677439882005-09-23T14:15:00.000-04:002005-09-23T14:15:00.000-04:00Typically what is the max life of a laptop?
