Laptop suggestions

bobby_z · 13th January 2006

So it has finally gotten to the part where I'm about to get myself a laptop for my location recording (which feels a lot better than borrowing one, which I have to do now).

And so my wishlist for this laptop is that it's

- under 2 kilograms
- small
- got widescreen with a rel. good resolution
- got a 7200 RPM disk

However, the only computer I can find close to matching my criteria is the
Sony Vaio S5 (PM 1.7 512/80GB DVDRW WLAN 13.3").
It comes close, since the disk is only 5400 RPM.

What do you think? Would this be a possible problem/bottleneck for me?
What do you think are the alternatives?
(I'm going to use it together with my Fireface.)

Thanks for helping out!
(Please refrain from the "get a mac"-comments, I'm dead set on a PC. Thanks.)
