Your suggestions are great. The issue that I am worried about, is with regard to the bios and drivers for the laptop. Has anyone encountered software installation issues? What about the energy management software built into laptops? Thanks, Robert

I am looking for suggestions for a laptop development enviroment... I'd like to have VS6, Sql Server, and IIS. I'm not a hardware person, so I don't know what issues I might encounter setting up a laptop like a desktop machine. Thanks!
