Well, this is a difficult one, without more info about what your
needs are, and what is important to you. How do you plan to use the
laptop? why a laptop and not a desktop. The main advantage of a
laptop is portability. But if you want a large screen and a full
keyboard, you will have a machine that is so heavy and bulky that you
won't find it to be very portable. True portability and light weight
will mean a smaller screen and a keyboard that has fewer keys, and
smaller keys. So it's really a tradeoff. 3 years ago, I bought a
Dell laptop with a 14 inch screen. it weighs about 5.5 pounds. i
purchased a USB numpad so I would have basically a full keyboard. It
didn't turn out to be as portable as I liked, so I bought an Asus
netbook. it has a 10 inch display and weighs about 3 pounds. The
keys are smaller, and i have never felt really comfortable with the
keyboard. But it is portable, and will fit nicely into my
briefcase. So my best advice would be to go to a computer store and
put your fingers on some machines and see what feels good to
you. Remember that it will be wasted money if you don't like the
feel, and thus don't use the machine.

Hello list,
What works best with WE?
Please be so kind as to let me know what you have decided on in a
laptop. Please! I am not wishing to start any kind of debate, I'm
mearly wanting to know what folks are personally settleing on in a
laptop, not a netbook. Give me brand name and model number if you
can. Specific additional specs like which processor, or how big of
a hard drive you got is not important at this time. If you wish to
tell me more, please save the list and write to me personally.
Thanks so much,
Happy New Year 2010 to one and all!
Blessings,
