The raw CPU speed doesn't seem to correspond to the performance difference between their work on a Thinkpad vs. a Dell Desktop. I guess it comes down to front-side bus and things like that.


Hard drive speed, hard drive speed, hard drive speed. The fastest laptop hard drive is still painfully slow compared to any decent desktop hard drive. This is really apparent on things like compiles where you are accessing thousands of small files scattered all over the drive.
