I am in the market for a laptop and am looking for some thoughts/opinions. I'm new to this forum, but it looked like a good place to get some information and feedback.
I am starting a new job and I'm looking for a laptop to take on the road. I don't need top-of-the-line stuff. I'm basically needing a laptop to check e-mails, do some light word processing, and light spreadsheet activity. I might also watch an occassional DVD. I need standard wireless connectivity (802.11b) that will work in hotels, etc.
The only requirement I have is XP Professional - my work says I need it. Other than that I'm pretty flexible.
Couple of questions - 1) do I need 512K RAM? 2)is 64 meg enough video RAM? 3) is XGA screen pretty good or should I upgrade?
I am looking at the Toshiba A65-1065. It seems to have what I need and the price is pretty good (current rebate offer). Is this a good machine that would fit my needs? Any other suggestions in the $1,000 - $1,300 range?
Thanks
