Hi All,

did a search but couldnt really find any really current threads, so apologies for starting another one about laptops..

I am looking for a portable, although not ultralight/ultrasmall = extremely expensive.

Basiccally, I only need it to do basic excel/word operations, email and mobile internet. No serious ultra fast processor needed. A built in DVD would also be a great feature.

I liked the Sony Vaio V505 I looked at today, although at $1800 it is at the top end of what I wish to spend.

Any recent recommendations/experiences anyone can share ?

Thanks

J

P.S: Is there a review site for laptops, i.e. something like "Steve's Digicams" for laptops that anyone can recommend ? T
