But this is a P4 = heat !
I'm a power management freak, I cannot loose 1 minute of battery. It is
simply unacceptable for my way of being.
Pentium M is da thing. Well, some may say that AMD64 but...

Anyway, P4 is not there for me. I can get 6 hours in Linux of battery with
the T42 big battery and about 4.5 hours with the normal one. I don't think I
would be able to do this with a AMD64 or P4.

Anyway again, I need, maybe not only me. An IBM Pentium M with the 915P DDR2
533mhz, 1.8ghz/2MB/533, SATA HD, NVIDIA Card, Azalia 6.1 Sound, FingerPrint
reader, SmartLight keyboard (this one notices if you are in a dark room and
then turns on the keyboard depending on how dark the room is) bla bla...

/me screams "IBM, Please release one of these systems! Intel already
released the spec and platform. What's wrong?!!"

I think that we need a marketing IBM guy in this mailing list.
