Pitty it'd run hot as all hell seeing it has a desktop processor in it (yes I know, 
Intel doctored the Northwood to be a de-facto mobile processor but thermal management 
is still nowhere near as good as for a proper mobile chip) ... you were wondering why 
they needed a 12 cell pack when everyone else managed with 6?

Gimme the Toshiba Satellite 5105 anyday ... PROPER mobile P4 1.7, GeForce4 440 Go 32 
meg (still beats the Radeon), 15" 1600x1200 screen (as opposed to the 1024x780 on the 
Winbook), DVD-ROM/CDRW, dual smartmedia/securedigital slotsn (plus the usual dual type 
II or 1 type III PCMCIA slot unlike the Winbook's single type II), cPad touchpad, 
subwoofer (not that it needs it, judging by the speakers on the other members of the 
Toshiba range), half a gig of ram expandable to 1 gig ... and it actually LOOKS good 
too and doesn't need a heavy 12 cell battery pack (cutting its weight by over a 
kilogram compared to the loaded Winbook). Plus Toshiba actually has international 
support ... try getting your Winbook fixed in Australia for instance.
