For any hardware, including a laptop, if you buy one with components with OS=
/2
drivers, then you will be pretty happy. If you look only at Windows
performance, and then try to put OS/2, then  your results will be random.

Lots of us are running laptops with wire, wireless, modem, and everything el=
se.
Either do a little research before you buy, or go to one of the several vend=
ors
selling eCS preloaded.

Judging by my windows-using friends, lots of features that ought to work,
don't, even on Windows XP.
