    Best Cisco Laptop?
    Wednesday, July 30th, 2008 | Off-Topic, Greatness habits revealed

    I've been a "quasi-apple fan" for years...When they came out with the MacBook Pro, I bought the 17" giganto-screen model and have been using it to configure Cisco devices ever since. Recently, I was at a client site...he pulled out an old Dell X200 12" laptop to configure a Cisco router. I suddenly found myself being jealous over a thin laptop (2.9 pounds) that cost 1/10th what my behemoth MacBook did. I'm thinking I'll hit Ebay to pick one of these up for a couple hundred bucks (they're older), but before I do...does anyone know of a better super-thin, small, lightweight laptop to use for base Cisco configs? Nothing fancy, just needs to run a terminal window.

    I thought this might start a good thread for "Cool ultra-portable Cisco-configuration laptops" everyone (including me) can use.

    UPDATE: I've settled on the Dell D400 since it has a built-in serial port.
