Laptop recommendations?

Hi

My company signed me up for a project and told me that I could buy any laptop I wanted and now I need some recommendations.

I basically want a small one with long battery life (good for travel).
I've seen one of those touchsmart-laptops from HP - have anybody tried them yet? I'm just wondering the usefulness of it.

Also, does dual-screen laptop exists yet?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Get a Toughbook. That way, if you get shot at or set fire to or pushed down the stairs you won't lose any of your project work.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I would have picked that one if I worked in the building industry ^^

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

If you're looking for something small try either the Samsung NC10 or the Acer Aspire One series.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Provided you can install a copy of Windows XP into it, you should get a little Acer Aspire One. Shits are small, good for travel and have ridiculous battery life. (About 6 hours)

Plus, at $329, the price is not bad at all.

I was speaking idiomatically.

If you already have a copy of Windows XP that you can use, buy one of the ones with Linux and the price drops even further. They are nice machines for a traveller. To be honest they are nice machines for anyone, but the size, weight and battery life mean that for travellers it doesn't get much better.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I thought 9-hours batterytime was normal for laptop nowadays?
Hmmm...i have to skip Linux, have to use Windows. Mostly because I have project tools that run on Windows...

Also, the price doesn't really matter as they didn't give me a pricelimit. I think I can go for a $800-900 dollar laptop

FELIPE NO

Not on any Laptop I ever used.

I don't mean you should USE the Linux OS. I mean that if you buy one with Linux, it's cheaper. Then you can install a Windows OS that you already have. For example, I have a couple of spare XP licenses so I'm not going to buy an OS with my next machine.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

After looking through different onces, I think I found one that I'm pleased with:

HP Compaq 2530p
HP Compaq 2530p Notebook PC for Federal government (HP Public Sector)

But I need to buy more memory, to 8GB.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Wow, those are all an expensive ripoff. Compaq makes the worst computers since the 1900s.

Look around Custom Laptops by PowerNotebooks.com™ - Discount Custom Notebooks & Cheap Laptop Computers , you'll probably get a much better deal.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Did everyone missed the part when he said that price didn't matter?

As for dual screen laptops, try the Lenovo W700ds. On that note, I recommend any of the ThinkPads (T series seem to be the tried-and-trusted) with a 9-cell battery upgrade should do well for you.

Most amazing jew boots

That's a poor excuse to support scammers like HP/compaq. They make the worst cases on the planet. Even if it's a laptop, it still supports them >_<
