Need laptop recommendation for Development / Business

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
I need to get a laptop.

Feature preferences in that order:

$ Doesnt matter as the company is getting it for me.(almost). Need recommendations so that I can get it FAST. I need to order it so that it comes before the end of next week (have it the coming Monday 25th.).

- High Resolution (for Development / Code Reading) (multiple apps)
(WUXGA, WSXGA+ UXGA SXGA+, etc.) 15" or 14"
- Light, small and powerful (LIGHT & SMALL is important..)
- Maybe a dedicated Videocard (so that my memory is not eaten up..)(Dont need to have a SUPER video card... no gaming or other stuff needed.. just enough for WORK). (Ive used systems with shared video memory and they suck even for office/development work).
- LOTS OF RAM. 1G+ (maybe 2G)
- DVD +HDD standard (i.e. cant do without the DVD)

I think your in the right place. IBMs are the KING of business/programming laptops. As far as screens, there are several high res models. IBM offers the following screens.

14"

1024x768
1400x1050

15"

1024x768
1400x1050
1600x1200

(There's also a crazy 2048 x 1536 (qxga) screen that you have to special order.)

Questions.

1. Does anyone have any idea how I can get the UXGA / SXGA+ faster ? IBM / Lenovo website shows 2-4 weeks etc. ?

2. How much time does a custom build take to get delivered ?

3. Are there any good IBM T42 resellers ? I saw some T42 UXGA laptops online via a Google search.

4. What are the differences between the T & R Series and which models ones do you recommend from either of the series ?

5. How does it compare to this S2 Toshiba here..
