you need to look around a bit more..

the R50p has the best display.. flexview, 1200x1600 15inch..
there are also 15 inch 1050x1400 displays available.. in flexview as well
as normal TFT displays..

the pentium M is equivalent to P4 M's running at 2ghz and up..

take a look at the T41p and R50p..
these are the top models and with the apparent delay in delivery of the
next generation intel cpu, will remain so at least until april even though
there is a low end T42 looming, there is no indication of a T42p or R51p...

nope..
but with 1gig parts available (though still a bit pricy) there is little
need for more memory sockets..

that is 2gigs max memory at this point..
