Okay, what's the difference between a notebook and a laptop (computer, that is). Expandability? Spiral vs. hardbound (he-he)? Type of plastic in the case? On a more general note, I'm looking for recommendations on a relatively inexpensive (~$1500) notebook/laptop. Blazing speed is not a huge requirement - a 12 or 16 MHz 286 would probably be fine. Of course, a 386SX would be nice to avoid obsolesence in the next 17 days, but I doubt that'd be in the given price range. At least a 40MB drive, VGA monitor (how many levels of greyscale??), and a couple MB of RAM seem reasonable. Any and all comments will be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Paul Tobin pgt@fc.hp.com
