Which laptop/netbook would you choose for a decent auditing/pentesting tool

[pj_mcgarvey at hotmail.com (PJ McGarvey)]

This was covered in pretty good detail not too long ago on the list, which is archived just do a google search.

 

I'll add that for my 900HA - I just purchased an Atheros wifi card that does 802.11n which will replace my internal 
card, and a 2GB RAM module which will also replace the existing 1GB internal module.  Each was about $29 w/ free 
shipping from Ebay.  Not installed yet, but I don't expect any issues.

I've got the 1005ha and love it, other than the ghost pasting of website titles in ubuntu (not sure if it happens in 
windows). It's by no means a powerhouse, but it's got built in atheros chipset (no interfaces are detected with base 
install of ubuntu 9.04) and supports packet injection. I've yet to actually get it to last the 10 hours of battery time 
it claims...

Hey all,

So I know this has been covered a number of times but I was wondering what the list members would do if they need to 
invest a bit of cash in a new laptop/netbook to use for visiting customers (or sites) to carry out audits & maybe 
simple pentesting activities.

My choice lie on either :
- dell mini 10
- asus eeepc 1005HA

or spend extra cash and get a Dell Studio 15?

any thoughts?
