Yeah, I bet it would run even faster with less memory if you blow away OS X
and
install Yellow Dog Linux to remove OS bloat. ;-)

I would at least consider a Macintosh - Powerbook/iBook.
Mac OS X is an excellent platform for Java development (and development
in general).
The G4 processor is very energy efficient and you will find that you
can get 5+ hours of battery life on new Apple laptops.

After reading my original post I forgot to list an app server running
too, probably WebLogic 8 or 9.
I plan to get 1 gig or ram but anymore than that gets really pricey.
My biggest hang-up on the Centrino is that for the price of a 1.6 to
2.0 GHz, I could get a standard
HT 3.0 GHz processor for about the same money. But it sounds like a
Pentium M 1.6 is fairly
comparable in speed to a HT 3.0. Not sure how Intel pulled that
off.
Thanks,

We're not using Centrino, per se (our policy prohibits wireless
devices on
the laptops we order), but we're running Pentium M 1.6GHz laptops with
2GB
of RAM, and they are comparable in speed and performance to our 3GHz
minitowers (also 2GB of RAM, SATA disks, etc.). We run a 18,000 class
java
app in WebSphere, ClearCase, Lotus Notes, WSAD, DB2, and assorted
other
miscellaney without any problem. Probably the worst thing about it is
that
the disk subsystem is slower than the towers, so startup times are
longer
for the apps, but once they're running, you're good.
We ordered both towers and laptops for some of our senior guys just
because
of that concern, and all of them have pretty much abandoned the towers
due
to the fact that the performance is so similar.

Sorry, I don't have any free gmail accounts to offer :-0
Does anyone know how the Centrino processor based laptops perform
for
typical java development work? i.e. running and IDE, a DB server,
ant
(cranking away at unit tests), maybe a couple other apps running.
If you have any links that compare non-centrino to centrino
performance
that would help too.
Thanks,
-Matt
