i would certainly be interested in purchacing an 'amiga' notebook!!

I think some sort of portable could be constructed using the mini-atx used by the Pegasos,

YUCK! too big!
i would want somthing sleek and sexy a bit like(IMHO) the older G3 powerbooks!

I suppose fiting a lcd display on a A1200 would not do the trick?

There is a company that make high end SPARC based UNIX laptops: Tadpole. Perhaps they will be interested in manufacturing PowerPC laptop for running Linux, AmigaOS and MacOS.  

Tadpole

Problems:
1. Is G3 or G4 suitable for Laptops? What about power, size  and thermal problems?
2. Is there any PowerPC chipset suitable for laptops?
3. What about the video display chip for LCD?
4. WHO will buy such product? What is the size of the market?

1. yes!! the macintosh powerbooks use them! and there was an ibm rs/6000 notebook once!!
2.yep
3.just the display chips used in the above, it doesnt matter you can use display hardware for x86
4. I will buy such a product! the number of people who will buy it will be low, but i would pay quite a bit for an actual amiga PowerPC notebook! if it is good enough

just visited that tadpole site!
thats quite good! id consider buying one of those!!!!
 :-D

now if only it came in ppc flavour....
or if amigaos/morphos/aros was available for SPARC


but SOLARIS is ok... i just wouldnt use CDE, id probably use KDE or somthing instead!!!




infact solaris is good, verry good
