So here is what I want from the perfect laptop.
- 15 inch widescreen capable of 1600x1000 - good for coding.
- Weigh no more than 2Kg
- All the standard bits like WiFi, a Windows key & better support for Suspend than my aging Inspiron 1100. I wanna be like a mac guy and just shut the lid of the machine and not worry about it. With my Inspiron that would cause a fire.
- 100Gb SATA HDD, 2Gb RAM, Dual Core, Vista Ready
- Definately less than AUD$3000, closer to $2000 the better
Here's the kicker:
Convertable tablet form factor and it kicks the res down to 1125x864, or 1024x768 when flipped for tablet-like note taking and ad-hoc jotting.
One day I'm gonna be looking back on this post on such a machine and grin :)
