    To all computer geeks here....

    Can anyone advise on notebooks (or laptops small in size)? Would like to get one for G. Must be highly portable but still powerful. She would need to run applications such as Photoshop CS4 and other graphics programs, including animation (plus all the 'normal' stuff), in Windows 7. Also needs a DVD drive. Oh.. and not too expensive! Actually, the cheaper, the better! Looked at gaming notebooks but they are e x p e n s i v e!!!!!

    Thank you!

    jrd... oooOOooo ..... white stuff - and still falling. But not enough for a duvet day, I'm afraid. Just enough to cause a bit of chaos.

    enforced day off yesterday, well half a day to be exact... ;)
    tried to get in to work but train stopped at Norbiton and sat there...and sat there...and then we're told that they didn't know when it would be going because of "slippery railroads" and also because "we're in a queue of trains that's backed up all the way from Waterloo". Waterloo was full of trains but they had no drivers because they were all stuck on the trains queuing up to get in to Waterloo...
    at this point, about 2 hours into my journey to London i gave up, got off the train (luckily we were in a station rather than stuck inbetween), got a bus to Kingston, did an hour of Christmas shopping and got the bus home. 8-)
    am in work today :(
    Oh yeah? Well, I've had about enough of morons and halfwits, dolts, dunces, dullards and dumbbells - and you chowderhead yokel, you blithering hayseed, you - you've had enough of me?

    dunno much about laptops so hope someone on t'other thread has helped :roll:

    reckon you want something with at least an Intel Core 2 Duo processor, or a newer Core i3 or i5, a minimum of 4GB of memory and 250Gb or bigger hard drive.
    that rules out the 10" netbooks, and they don't have DVD drives either so i guess something with 12" or 13" screen if you want to keep the weight down.
    after that it's just a case of finding something you like the look of, there should be plenty of choice (maybe too much?).
    Acer do some decent enough stuff, or Samsung, Dell, Toshiba... saw an advert for some Sony ones in the Metro today but didn't really look at it very closely, but you usually pay for the Sony name.
    Find something you like and then see if John Lewis stock it and will match the price because you might get a better warranty from JL...

    just my 2p worth. :ugeek:

    bought one pressie, only two left to get... ;)

    remember, when G's rich and famous with her band we want guaranteed free tickets (and probably zimmer frame or wheelchair access)! :twisted:
