since youre obviously after this for mapping software etc. then the one craig's on about is more than ample, its what i use.

bit on the hefty size to lug about, but apart from that its perfect for you

Jano - I got a piece of shit generic laptop (2gb HDD, win 98 OS, 64mb ram ) you can have for a score, only thing is the battery is fooked and don't hold charge - never a prob for me I only used it at a desk anyway (plugged in) but I'm guessing you need a battery to hold full charge?
