[URGENT] Laptop by Jhrono on 12-27-2005 at 06:38 PM

Hi

Listen i need help, my uncle needs a laptop and he wants to buy it until friday..Yet he doesnt live in the same city i do, but he's here today, so he asked me to look/ask on the internet for a good laptop.
BUT THE MAIN REQUIREMENT IS THE SIZE OF THE LAPTOP : IT MUST BE A SMALL ONE

Not a MAC and it MUST work with XP

It should have :

Processor - Intel Centrino 2 Ghz or above
CD Drive - DVD-R / CD-RW
HDD - 60 Gb or above
Integrated Wireless Card - 802.11G or 802.11B
USB Ports - AT LEAST 2
Ethernet Port
Printer Port

The graphics card isn't really important but it should be a 64 Mbytes one..

If you know any other laptop that is small, but doesnt fill the requirements, say it's model and a link to a shop/brand's site

P.S - Please give me good brands, not cheap ones, the budget is quite big right now..



[b]If you could do this for me fast i'd appreciate THANKS

Sony Vaio's are peices of shit. My uncles moved from Thinkpads to Vaio's and they are still pissed.

Theres a nice small notebook. It's not a Intel, but pff. Averatec is probably your best bet.

Now, I'll just say this, Your asking alot when your looking for a printer port being it's a legacy port and not many companies build them into there systems anymore.

A Dell Latitiude 700m is small, might work for you, but I dislike dell laptops so :-P

Avoid compaq/hp aswell. I repeat the vaios are peices of feces and should also be avoided.
