Right, that's what I was thinking too. I expect to use emacs + latex mostly, and occasionally gcc/gdb, no compute-intensive stuff. But I'll probably need to use OpenOffice now and then, and that's a bit of a killer (even v2.0). Do you know offhand which of the major brands come with the AMD Turion? > weight according to me should be in the 1.5 Kg category but that will > again take you to the ultra-portable category and may also cost a bomb. Thankfully, the money will come from official funding, still, does bomb mean > 1 lakh? Also, does light usually mean small? I have large hands, so something the width of the Compaq wide-screens is comfortable.
