Hi all,
Need a bit of a hand purchasing a laptop. It has been a while since I was keenly interested in hardware so I have fallen behind the times!
I need a new laptop for work. My company requirements are 4gb, Visa Ultimate, and Office 2007 pro. I am also likely to have VMware, SQL Server, MySQL installed that might use a lot of resources. I may even sneak a few games on every now and then when I have the spare time!
The site I have to go through for my laptop is pcworld in the UK. From there I have identified 3, that I think will suit my needs.
Samsung Q310 - I think I like this the most as a balance of specs/weight and size. My current laptop is 15.4 and I feel its rather bulky, especially as I carry it on my back for 2-3 km every day. I'm worried I might get insane writing project plans with that size/resolution if I dont have my big monitor.
Acer travelmate 6593g-944932MN - This one seems to have much better specs but is rather large.
Sony VAIO VGN-cs21s/W - Seems to have crappier specs but a nice compromise on size.
Any help you can give will be greatly appreciated!!!!
Cheers
