Laptop recommendations

BWA@CSFB · 10-12-2005, 08:21 AM

Hi,

I would like to buy a laptop to use on my commute on the coach to and from work, but I am not an expert on laptops and would rather get a recommendation from people who know more than me.

What would be ideal is:

12.1 -13 inch screen as there is not much room on the coach
Fairly long battery life
Reasonably priced (definately less than £1000)
As powerful as possible within the budget

Consider all buying options, UK, Overseas, Second-hand what-have you!

If anyone can come in with suggestion/recomendations/details I will be very very grateful.

Thanks one and all.

BWA.

I'm awful with remembering exchange rates... what ballpark is that in for US dollars?

1 GBP = 1.74539 USD
1 USD = 0.573171 GBP

Good web site if you need it is www.xe.com.

Thanks,

BWA

This might be a little more than you want to spend, but this looks like what you are looking for.
