Hello Lasse,
Maybe, although I have seen Pentium mobile laptops quit in under two
hours as well.
My old rule: Never buy a laptop above $1500 unless there is a very
compelling reason. They break too easily and age too fast. I would
expect that designers of "modern" machine would at least make an effort
to learn from the old masters who designed the Contura series. Maybe I
am expecting too much ...
Why is it that Compaq could do all that 15 years ago for laptops in the
budget pricing range? The Contura was one of the lowest cost brand name
laptops you could buy in those days.
Regards, Joerg
Isn't that just because you bought a laptop with a regular pentium4 and
not a (more expensive?) pentium4-mobile?

afaik all mobile pentiums and maybe also newer regular pentiums support
"Speedstep" and XP has build in support for it.
