It's hard to beat the Pismo even with some of the most expensive new laptops out there. My friends who own pricey new Macs are stunned at the performance I get on my G3 400 Mhz. It handles just about everything I throw at it except some streaming video. Even at that, it churns through moderate rez web clips just fine. It's easy to travel with, rugged, comfortable to work on and infinitely flexible. I LOVE that it offers a PC slot for my compact flash cards. I have a 17" Intel MacBook Pro that I haven't seen in forever. I just prefer the Pismo.
How many 10-year-old PC laptops are still out there working as effectively as the Pismo? I bet not many. I've owned two Sony Vaios made more recently than the Pismo and they both croaked long ago. With even a moderate amount of care I'm sure it'll give you years of solid service.
