I need to buy a laptop here in the next couple of weeks. I used a laptop for the first time this past summer and hated it because of the smaller keyboard and the touchpad mouse (which I can remedy by adding a trackball mouse I think) which seemed to move sporadically/weakly, so below are my needs which are simple.
I prefer a larger monitor & therefore might likely find a more spacious keyboard.
No real gaming, no massive/hardcore video downloading, no graphics needs.
Must have best capabilities for wifi reception/usage.
I'll use it for email & web surfing mostly while on the road.
EDIT: I'll likely want to watch DVDs on it though.
Please respond only with your own practical use or knowledge (your friend owns one) of units that are still on the market today. As you can see huge software upgrades aren't needed just size, wifi quality, ease of use etc.......
I haven't even Googled laptops yet as it's easy to be misled by whatever they're pushing atm for their own reasons, I'll start with the best feedback here.
