Re: notebook computer suggestions

I recently purchased a laptop over the internet that was made by Uniwill for about $1800. Here are the specs:

AMD Mibility 64 bit 3400+ processor

I was able to hack the video card to an Mobility FireGL T2 x 128. I now have realview capabilities!

Ship in a bottle benchmark on SWX 2005 SP0.1 is around 23 seconds.

It is fairly new, so I have not put it through the paces to fully test it with SolidWorks but so far so good.
