My Toshiba Laptop gave up! So I broke down and got another Dell with an i3 cpu. It's a duel cpu but acts like a 4 core! Currently just running WCG and it's runs 4 WU's at a time. I have Windows 7 Home 64bit currently installed and thinking of upgrading to Windows Pro. (Soon as my rich uncle gives me the money). ;)

I enjoy my laptops because of their portability, ability to run off my solar battery bank using a 12VDC car power adapter and mostly because they play movies over HDMI to my television.

Good buy!

Kool, would love to know more about how you setup your batteries, do you have any pictures? How much did it cost?

Sweet. And yeah, Core i3 supports Hyper Threading so it will "act" like a quad core but though less efficient but for most projects it will give you a nice boost. So congrats. \m/ **==
