Bob,
NVidia has announced the "GeForce2 Go" version of the GeForce chipset
for laptops. Personally I'd jump through hoops to get a GeForce chipset
rather than an ATI chipset. Unfortunately NVidia also only states
Toshiba as the first GeForce2 Go customer. I haven't been able to find
a model that actually claims to use the GeForce2 Go chipset though. We
might have to wait a couple more months. If I remember correctly last
fall they expected some laptops to have the GeForce chipset this spring.
I've sent NVidia an e-mail to see if I can get more information.
