SI-2K Mini and Laptops: what's new in 2010? at DVinfo.net

Year 2010.

OK, so with the new processors and, you know, overall progress of mobile technologies, what is now the recommended laptop for SI-2K Mini?

My quick search showed that Lenovo ThinkPad X201 Tablet could be one possible contender - anyone has experience with it? I'm worried about its 2.1Ghz processor, in my experience you need about 2.6Ghz for the highest quality video capture/monitoring modes...

Which brings us to Sager NP7652 customized, albeit minus touchscreen... again, anyone with experience?

I have no idea how the network cards will behave on either, and I understand it is a requirement to have certain cards for stable capture of Mini's data.
