I will concur with this. Some laptops are very slow when compared to desktop machines.

The main thing that really gets on my nerves with my laptop (Dell C400) is the really slow disk.  A benchmark on my PC's disk comes out at around 35 - 40MB/sec.  The same benchmark on my laptop comes out between 5 - 10MB/sec.  As my laptop has an absurd amount of RAM (half a gig, absurd IMO), I allocate half of that to a ramdisk and install OpenOffice and Mozilla to there.

At least it runs silent or very near silent :-)

I wish they made a laptop with multiple hard drives striped for "better than laptop" performance.  :-(
