Hello

I am in the market for a new laptop; however, it has been a number of
years since I've bought a new computer.

For Web and PocketPC development on VS.net 2005, what can I expect
from a 1.5GHZ-1.7GHZ Centrino with 1GB ram?

Not much. A laptop is a slow environment for full-time development. I'm
working on a high-end desktop and even that can be rough-going sometimes.

Is there a speed recommendation to use vs.net somewhat "realtime".
