I am about to get a laptop.
I built my own desktop just recently, but it just isn't mobile enough.
I have: 2.00GHZ 2400+ thoroughbred AMD, ASUS A7 MB, 1GB crucial PC3200 RAM, ATI Radeon 9800+ 256 Pro, 80GB 7200RPM WD HD. I was about to upgrade my desktop to 64, but I think I'm going with a laptop.

I want - at least 64 MB video RAM, shared or otherwise. 1.5GHZ or more 400FSB or more, 512 RAM one stick (for upgrades) to max of 2GB, 4+ battery life. I was looking at Vaios. Any suggestions? I'm not too worried about screen size, or harddrive space.

Main concerns:
Battery life
Mobility
Must meet my minimum req.

Also, among the few that have 64 bit mobile processors, what brand would you recommend, just to get a view of what's out there, high end performance wise.

All I've seen is an Emachines and a Dell with 64 bit. But with low bat life and high weight.
