Hi!

Finding a laptop to be a good dos - early win gaming machine is tricky, but it is really cool if you can have a cool dos 6.22/win 3.1 + w98se setup and games in a relatively portable device (basically win98 upgrade over win3.1, with "boot older os" menu option at boot). What is your favorite laptop?

I would say that some specs would be:
pentium or pII processor
640x480 or 800x600 active matrix lcd (is it even possible to get laptops with tft lcds with VGA native res?)
sound card with proper SB16 support in dos
proper keyboard, trackpoint (bonus)
floppy (bonus)
cd-rom (bonus)
no weird recovery partitions needed to enter the bios (like in the Compaq Armada 7800...)
dos/win 3.1, win98 (bonus)
internal psu (bonus)

In games that have a low native resolution (like the 320x200 of doom) and if the image is stretched to fill the screen, what tft lcd screen resolution would be the best option?
