What's your Recommendation?

The problem with that is that by the time they arrive, someone else is "soon going to release" an even better one. At some point you have to say "That'll do" and get it now. It'll be out of date by the following Monday anyway.

Yes, but the current laptops are pretty crap, and finding one with a decent screen resolution that doesn't way a ton, or cost a fortune is impossible. If I can find a reasonable spec'd, higher resolution 15", reasonably thin machine similiar to those linked in my post, then I'll take one. My currently lappy is just holding in there and no more. I can see it dying in the next 6 months. You may recall the post I made earlier this year about laptop screen resolutions and why quote the stupid lettering scheme in the specs and not just quote the damn numbers! :)

Dont even bother with 7200RPM, still donkey slow. Just get SSD.

Good point. My only issue with SSDs is the (current) cost per G, but it's prolly worth the performance gain. /ravi

I will insist or quit the next time I ask for a laptop ;p Well that, and knowing how to disable the corporate anti-virus's realtime scanner. The latter I did by disabling the bloody driver as every other option was 'password' protected.

What you definitely should have is an SSD and a docking station. And remember, in computers you get what you pay for, so if it's a work laptop you shouldn't go cheap. Personally I'm using Dell Latitude, and have no complaints. I have had Asus laptops before and I'm happier with Dell, but the Dells have also been more expensive. Also remember that they have different support levels for cheap and expensive computers. Dells support for cheapo computers suck elephant balls, while the pro-support leave nothing extra to wish for.
