Laptop advice please
Can any experienced laptoppers out there help me with some advice for my first one? I'm looking at high-end stuff with loads of RAM and a big hard drive, so that as well as the routine word-processing stuff I can have a go at video-editing.
1. Any comments on the relative merits of Pentium versus AMD (Athlon) processors in the 1Ghz area?
2. Choice probably narrowing down to Sony Vaio/Toshiba. Anybody got any horror stories about either, or any definite "don't buy one of these" recommendations for any particular brand/model? (Or, indeed, any "don't buy anything else" recommendations either?!)
3. Anybody had any crashing experiences with XP yet, or is it really as stable as MS would like us to believe?
4. Any horror stories about buying abroad (USA/Hong Kong) and importing?
Thanks all.
