It needs to be light-weight and portable for in the plane, support wifi, have a long battery life, relatively fast graphics, 1GB memory and around 2Ghz fast. There are so many choices out there that I do not know where to start. Any suggestions would be helpful. Is there a known list somewhere of supported/tested laptops? Kind regards, Kiffin
