I can't seem to find a freaking laptop that can run Server 2003 R2 Natively. Anyone know of one?

pricerange you are looking at? and why do you want a server OS on a desktop style system? especially a laptop?

as for finding a laptop "designed" for windows 2003 you wont fine.. you will find either designed for XP or Vista... only thing the laptop needs is a 550mhz processor with 133mhz FSB or faster, VGA video that does at least 800x600, 3gb disk space and min. of 128mb RAM (256mb+ recommended).

Price range is not an issue.

Need it for developing sharepoint features, you can not write features on anything except server 2003 R2. Virtual Machines are too bloated and never work right because of the complex alternate access mapping were are doing.

The Laptop I have now (dell 820) does not have nic/wirless drivers for server 2003R2.

Need a laptop with 3+ GB of ram, 2GHZ+ Cored 2 Duo/ Athlon, 160GB of disk space.

I've seen it running on some thinkpads. think it was an r60.

Send an email to lenovo and see what they recommend.

Think it will run on an iPhone. WTF?

Those are all using a broadcom nic, there are no drivers for server 2003.

I'm on chat right now waiting for a "specialist" to see what they can do for me.

Why the hell would I want to dirty it with a POS like the iPhone?

It was a joke, you have short term memory loss. :scratchhe
Anyway............was going to point towards the Dell systems mentioned below as I just bought one the other day, but there may be a better choice somewhere. I was looking but got tired!

Ya, Dell is down for the count
