I've decided that whilst there is nothing wrong with my laptop, I'd like to get something smaller and even more portable.
Currently running a HP G70120EA which is more a desktop replacement than a portable system I suppose. With it's 17 inch screen it certainly is quite a beast to carry about. Since getting the biggest room in the house I tend use my desktop for pretty much everything, and the laptop only gets used to check my e-mails, and maybe the odd bit of surfing before I goto work to catchup on forums etc.
So why do I need a dual core full size laptop for that ?
I've decided to sell it, with the specs (T5800 2 GHz dual core, 3 Gigs of ram, 320 gig HDD and GeForce 9200 with 256 megs of ram) it should be pretty easy to sell in the local paper for approx £250-£280
Selling a few other things too so should hopefully have £600, which I'd like change out of.
I'm so out of touch with the laptop market since not working in Curry's anymore so just really looking for ideas where to go.
I like the idea of a netbook, pretty small not over kill for the use I have in mind, but don't want one with Windows 7 starter. Also an Acer Timeline would be quite nice, for example max screen size I'd goto now is 15 inch.
Games don't even come into it, just don't need to play games on a laptop and not an enjoyable experience either to be fair.
General surfing may need some power to do some photographic work on it so decent sized hard drive would be handy. Would love to buy something without an os if I could as I have a spare Windows 7 HP 64 bit license (retail)
Anyway your thoughts please gents.
