If anyone can help I would appreciate all advice. After years of having a work-supplied laptop which was always configured so that various applications were controlled (even unknowingly) by the Administrator I have decide that it is worth the hassle owning my own laptop. My requirements are;
Downloads whatever I need
Communicates with ipod
Syncronises with my handheld (HP ipaq)
DVD r/w with a good battery to watch movies on flights.
Acts as personal filing cabinet (photos etc)
Ideally I would like it to be as portable as possible but cannot afford Sony Viao with the 10 inch (?) screen but something similar for less would be ideal. This is for personal use and enjoyment. Any suggestions?
