Does anyone have any recommendations for a fairly lightweight laptop that won't break the bank? It needs to run XP. I need it when I travel, and the ancient clunker I have (from work) is just too heavy and the department too mean to buy a new one. I am not specifications literate, so I need everything explained in layman's terms, if possible. In fact, I don't know the difference between a laptop and a notebook. Many thanks
Hi, Ethel
Thanks for the quick reply. I have a PC, and for a laptop II would need a fairly standard sized keyboard (old eyes aren't what they used to be and I can't touch type). As I often have to spend a fair bit of time in hotel rooms, I would like to be able to watch DVDs. I would happily pay circa �500 if I thought I was getting a good deal.
aprillove - love your best bet is a tour of PC World, Currys Comet & Dixons ..... tesco, sainsburys ....you get the idea
I think what you're after is the equivalent of a pair of shoes .... and you need to try them on.
I look after a Toshiba Portege r200 which fits the bill ... but relies on a docking station for most external connections
