I'm encouraged by the responses in the meeting to the laptop question.
Its good to see people offering their time to sort this out, its much appreciated.
A number of things crossed my mind now that I've digested the discussion,.
The laptop needs to be speced like a games machines of sorts, the "all sky mode" in starrynight is very taxing on the machine, no way can the one we currently have run SN4 with "all sky mode" on, so running SN6 with "all sky mode" on would be a necessity if we're gonna put money into a new machine.
As cool as thunderbolt would be, we're frankly not going to need it, think of what this machine is going to be used for, running in club meetings and if the harddrive is 250B+, then we're not going to have any capacity issues.
The machines spec need to be focused on high cpu and high graphics ability and a reasonable harddrive size and obviously it needs a vga port.
just my 2 cents.
and whenever I think of intel protocols, I'm always reminded of rambus
