Laptop specs...
Normally I'm a desktop man, prefer the easy to upgrade and more power of the desktop, but recently became curious about laptops. Remote possibility in the future where I'll need to do a weekly commute and can't be without DVD and internet for 4 nights a week.
I'm not looking for deals, they change on a daily basis, but I have no idea of a good spec'd laptop.
Memory 1-2Gb?
Processor how high do they go? I see lite versions, are any dual core higher?
I'm guessing that 120Gb hard drive is about the biggest.
What about graphics? are the inclusive options any good or is it like onboard graphics of a desktop...better to get a stand alone graphics card. IS it worth trying to get one that I can hook into my plasma (either HDMI connection or component, I know S-Video is rubbish for this type of connection)
What do I need inorder to connect it to the internet, wireless modem? router? do you use something that can log on through my mobile phone?
Is media centre still available or is it all vista now? Does it matter?
Would the Apple equiv be any good?
Are there brands that people tend to avoid?
I know this is a VERY wide topic but at the moment I just don't have a clue.
Thanks in advance.
