Currently, I mostly use the "sofa notebook", which is P4/2.4 GHz based, with 40 GB hd, originally 256 MB ddr ram upped to 512 MB, dvd-rom/cd-rewriter combo drive (6/24/12/24x, I think) and Radeon Mobility 9000 (w. 64 MB ddr ram) graphics. It's also got 4 USB 2.0 ports, 1 Firewire (400 Mbps) port , S/P-DIF-out and 10/100-Mbps-Ethernet. Screen is 15" XGA tft. I bought it for ~ 1200 Euro under the Gericom brand in Feb. 2003, but it also exists as Elitegroup Green 732 (http://www.ecs.com.tw/products/pd_sp...product_id=156) with slightly different colours.

It's a typical cheap desktop replacement notebook, not much good for mobile purposes (heavy, short battery life...) - but it's nice as a sofa gaming and internet station. Due to the desktop cpu, it get's quite loud and hot, especially when used with modern 3d shooters - but then again, it almost never crashes and has generally proved to be very reliable and fairly fast so far. For the next sofa notebook, I'd plan a Pentium-M based model, though - maybe this one: http://www.ecs.com.tw/products/pd_sp...product_id=404

256 MB SDRAM
Asus MoBo and V3800 (TNT2 Ultra) videocard
15 GB 7200rpm HD
Soundblaster 128
17" LG TFT

recently upgraded the screen; love the TFT

. they just aren't as reliable when it comes to colors (but a CRT with light from a wrong angle ain't either). been doing graphics (Photoshop, Illustrator) last couple of months and really felt the need to upgrade the rest. I'm kinda postponing it though, cause I won't be doing that kind of heavy useage next semester. kinda considering maybe going Mac next summer
