It will indeed continue, until one of us converts
Quite Ironic really, I posted my last message then saw that you'd say go for a HP Laptop out of the companies listed.
I was going to write "Finally me and tallsandwich are going to agree!!!" but as I went to post it my works PC died. i.e.
Shut down and won't re-load. I have an error message saying:
r corrupt:
Windows root>\system32\hal.dll
lease re-install a copy of the above file.
So I'm now computerless, lucky my employers don't use Macs or I'd never get a rest
What I was going to add though is I'd probably go for a Sony VAIO if I had to get myself a PC Laptop.
(Maybe the Sony Vaio VGN-AR190G ?)
