I've finally decided to splash out on a laptop, due to the amount of time spent stuck in hotels down route with nothing to do after the aircraft has gone tech or we have run out of hours! (The joys of nightfreight!)
However the budget is fairly low and I'm considering a cheap new one or taking a punt with something from Ebay. I have a good PC at home so the portable would not have to be too fancy.
Any suggestions folks?
Would only have to be for surfing the net (to fill out all those job applications!) and watching DVD's really.
Was looking at a basic Dell, 1000 or 1150, as they are all about £500ish but have been warned off by a few people.
Does anyone have a favourite brand/model for around this price, new or used? Anything essential you would include in the spec?
Oh, and I'm open to suggestions regarding iBooks too. There seem to be a few around on Ebay for about my budget but is the G4 any good or am I better getting a Windows laptop which will be compatible with my home PC?
Thanks for any advice!
