o.k. looking at 2 laptops seriosuly at present for purchase (of one!) by the
end of Feb.

1.Fujitsu siemens amilo l 7300 (comet on line package with case and mem key
Ł499)
Celeron M 340 1.5/256mb/40gb/ddvromcdrw/ etc

2.Acer Aspire 1362c (staples in store Ł499)
Sempron mobile 2800/256mb/30gb/dvdromcdrw/ etc

Now, can anyone make a reccomendation on these?
Really I would like to know which is the better processor for general office
work/battery longevity etc, a general query I know, but WTH.
I dont have any more than Ł570 at best in the pot, so any other
reccomendations are helpful, but it must be brand new, pref. from a well
known manufacturer/shop.
Obv not interested in Via cpus -LOL!

TIA,
Tim

A friend just bough the Dell Inspiron 1000 for 499 which seems solid
enough, A Celeron CPU and only 256MB Ram.

Personally I like Thinkpads but not at your budget.

Sorry should have said that the Pentium M is far and away the best mobile
CPU for battery life/Power combinations.

I had a 1.8 Pentium 4M which could manage 1.5-2 hours on a battery. My new
T42 is a 1.8 Pentium M which manages 3-4 hours on a battery (Battery are
near enough same size) and feels much faster in use as well.

For your budget a Pentium M is going to be difficult, as another poster
said an old model may be worth going for.

Hope this helps

Andy
