Help -I want to buy a laptop

I feel like Daniel walking into the lion's den here, but I need a bit of help. I have to confess to being a complete computer dimble-brain, although I've been using one all day every working day for the 20 years.

However, I've finally decided to tip-toe nervously into the 21st century and buy a laptop.

I've had a look in the PC World, Dixons type shops, but I'm completely baffled by different spec - processors, speeds, memory etc etc. The anagrams are especially meaningless.

I want a laptop purely for space reasons, I'll be using it for Ppruning (of course), Word, Excel, e-mails. I might get a Flight Sim. as well and Mrs WHC? will probably want to run cross-stitch design-type software on it. I'd be looking for a 15" screen and a budget of as much as it takes to get a good system - I work on the principle of 'you get what you pay for ' and 'buy cheap - buy twice'

Can some kind ppruner out there offer any help, advice or guidance. I would certainly qualify for 'The Idiots Guide to Buying a Computer'
