I have a similar situation here and I bought IBM T41 (no p since I'm no gamer). It's light and strong-built. The monitor cripsy (well, other than Sony and toshiba's newest monitor) So far it has been solid. No dead pixel and no HD...

Thanks pennster, for your reply. U made a good point here. I probably forgot the load for VS.NET + MSDE + all the crap suck up the memory. The T41 can have up to 2G, not that I need that much. But 768 is somewhat I'm looking for. Too...
