What isn't touted very much is energy savings features of laptops. In an environment where this is very much an issue, and the laptops will be relatively nonmobile, does anyone have any info on the use of laptops as a primary computer and relative productivity compared with the regular boxes. Also, what kinds of laptops or other low-power computers allow a full sized, full featured, 101 key keyboard to be plugged in, along with a full sized high res. display ( realize that this latter is power hungry). Does anyone know of large screen flat displays, such as LCD or plasma, that are compatible with VGA or EGA resolution?
