Started the new job today so I work down in that park now.

Im off of Lincoln and 170th, thats about 3-4 miles north of I43. And I wasn't at work today, gotta love off days during the week.
I made up my mind. New engine is in my horizon, Im curious to see how much power the maftpro will generate and be able to handle, don't worry the engine will be mated to a much larger turbo all running the oem ecu.

A friend of the family is in the secret service and says the goverment assigns them to all SS and CIA ops, along with some others; so i would assume its one helluva laptop. I have looked at sony, dell, hp, compaq(recently boughtout by hp), toshiba, along with alienware (obviously). The alienware seems to be the best, they can get pricey with "every option" but the Area 51-m with basic upgrades is well worth it, and you can find them at wholesale prices on ebay.
Yea... I'm going to have to disagree with you there. A laptop isn't a desktop. No offense intended, but allienware doesn't know how to make a laptop. Err, let me rephrase that. Allienware makes laptops for people who don't really "use" a laptop as it's intended. I was on a flight home from LA once, I had my IBM out working away on the tray and all of a sudden the guy next to me pulls out his allienware laptop. It just fit in the width of the seat and it looked reallll puurty. I asked him what the battery life was, he said he carries two batteries for about 2 hours of useage. I kinda laughed to myself knowing that my standard battery gave me about 3 hours of usage! Don't get me wrong, they're pretty, but they aren't a real laptop.
Want a good laptop? Get an IBM. If you can't afford the IBM, get a dell. No matter what you do, get the 3 year warranty. I'm also a fan of the Toshibas. Just make sure whatever you do, get the 3 yr warranty.
In response to the cpus. Get the Centrino package. It comes with the Pentium M(obile) processor and an Intel wireless card. Pentium M has lower clock rates, but real world speeds are the same as p4's. Pentium M is specifically designed for mobile applications.
Oh, for the record, I've personally setup and configured hundreds of laptops. I've created several of our corporate laptop images as well. I've worked on and repaired everything from IBM, Dell, HP, Compaq, and Toshiba. And for what it's worth, within the 4' proximity, I have 4 laptops sitting around
So yea, if you want any more info, just ask. Did I mention, make sure you get the 3 yr warranty?

You could get the cables to hook your video out on your laptop to your in dash lcd screen and make sure that works. Then, you could mount a small trackball mouse somewhere and put the laptop under the front passenger seat. That way you could just use an on screen keyboard for any typing and not have to worry about an entire second pc.
Just throwing the idea out there
