it's a laptop...it's not going to last a long time regardless

in any event, this emachine is built better then my hp was

Hehe, I've seen laptops that have lasted ages. True, they did become obsolete in no time, but they worked just fine.

 

[SPeedY_B]

a 386 laptop will run fine. It just wont run XP depends on your definition and perspective of lasting

 

[NetRyder]

386 was ages ago. I doubt Henyman is planning on keeping the laptop for that long. The Pentium III age on the other hand, is a more realistic estimate...that was from about 2-3 years ago, and should be pretty much how long you should expect to keep a laptop (considering their high costs in comparison to desktops). And PIII machines can run XP perfectly well.

yeah i installed 2k on a laptop with 32mb ram + like a 233 processor.

x86 based laptops, like marge said, they go "out of date" very quickly.

if you are willing to pay ~1300 then screw the P4 and get yourself a iBook G4

 

[Henyman]

laptop ++++++++11111!!!

 

[NetRyder]

...depends on what he's going to use it for

 

[SPeedY_B]

Both computers would do the same job. They're computers. Not like it matters, Henry's already bought his laptop.

 

[falcone]
