Look into the HP ZD 8000 series...

I custom'ed one and it runs G3 nice, the best part is the high resolution 17" widescreen, and the fact that the keyboard has a full numpad on it too..

My specs

P4 3.4Ghz with Hyperthreading
1GB RAM
ATI Radeon x600 with 256MB of its own ram.
100GB Hard Drive (7200 RPM)


The only downside is its a beast. It weighs close to 10-12 lbs. Its heavy for a traditional "laptop", but its a desktop replacement. It also eats the battery rather quick, between the Huge screen, the high-speed hard drive, and the fact that its a Desktop processor rather than a laptop one, you might get an hour on a battery.

It really depends on how you use it. You you need it to be in your lap, this would get uncomfortable after about 10 minutes. If you would just be using it in your hotels or at meetings, etc...then this is great. I have yet to choke this machine, G3 runs beautifully, and i do alot of work in 3d Studio with it too...it handles everything with ease.

You can also order this as a media machine (i chose XP Pro for specific reasons) with Windows XP Media Center Edition and an external USB2.0 Dual TV Tuner...and even without the media center stuff, it plays DVDs awesome, throw in the Altec Lansing speakers that line the fron of the machine, and you will forget your watching on a laptop, best sound quality on any laptop ive ever seen.

(can you tell i like this machine)
