I want to buy a cheap laptop for office use, by cheap I mean less than £500 inc VAT. Only requirement is that it have built-in WLAN, but I'd rather it look reasonably professional as well (have seen some monstrosities in this price bracket).
So I guess I'm looking for recommends on manufacturers and chassis; i.e. is it better to have a 14.1" WXGA screen or 15.4"...both around the same price and both are 1280x800 but the 14.1" notebook is physically smaller and more portable (I'll be moving it everyday and not plugging it into a monitor).
What's a respectable laptop at this price then?
