Haha... "The Lappy 486 weighs in at an extremely portable 42 pounds, and features an impressive battery life of one half of ten minutes."
Reminds me of an old "luggable." I guess if you REALLY need a ton of power in a package that can by physically moved from one place to another fairly easily, it might be useful. Good alternative to a LAN party PC, if you have the money. Looks ridiculous though.
Really, I can't think of another notebook maker that can quite match up with Apple or IBM in terms of overall quality. They all seem "cheap." Dell of course, HP, Sony, and even Toshiba isn't that great anymore. Even really expensive ones seem tacky and stupid, like that Dell, or some of those Alienware notebooks. There are some pretty nice Sony subnotebooks that cost a pretty penny, but it always seems like your money goes into more gadgets and plastic molding rather than a fast, refined, durable machine.
