--Yh75JyYRReC4laEp Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline I've decided it's time for a new laptop. In the past I've been relatively happy with Dell, but their web site is driving me to distraction (want info about Latitudes? Tell them you have a home office and they'll give you Inspiron instead). Questions to you: 1. Which brand? 2. Which model? I use laptops when travelling and for presentations. For the former I want long battery life and high resolution (preferably 1600x1200). For the latter I need something that will feed run-of-the-mill data projectors at 1024x768 and with enough grunt to run an increasingly lethargic Acrobat Reader without noticeable delay. I'm suspicious of the new wide screen versions because of potential problems with the data projectors; if people can allay these concerns, I'd be quite happy to have a wide-screen model. I also want a keyboard which I can remap and a touchpad which works; a third mouse button would, of course, be a good idea.
