I will add a cautionary note here...remember that one feature common to all
portable computers is that they are portable (they tend to fit well in book
bags and the like). I have not been to a campus in the past few years where
there wasn't SOME way to find an available computer at any time without
owning one...either a friend, a student lounge, a laboratory, a locked
building with no lock on that southeast basement window...For incredibly low
budget, use a Tekram motherboard with Cyrix processor or buy a used system
and dicker down the price.
