Acer are pretty competitive now a days. I have an HP NX5000 which I use for business use. Its hammered every day and nearly 2 years old and battery lasts for ever.

Poor old thing has so much crap running on it for programming telecom PaBXs' etc.

Unless you spend alot on one forget it.

HP NC series every time. there's a reason they're a bit more expensive than a laptop of similar spec, aint it aint coz HP is a rip off..

i personnaly have an NC6000 and a TC1100 tablet and the nc6000 never goes wrong

the tablet is another matter tho, fucks up every other month

swerv

sony looks lovely but you are paying a premium for style and not equipment

if i had Ł2k ish to spend my money would go on a sony, but i dont

MAD EVO 4

If ur always gonna be out and about and nowhere near a hardline or wireless network u can get GPRS cards and pay a monthly subscription thru most phone networks. You basically pay a set amount for so much bandwith then when u go over it u pay accordingly So basically like paying a phone line that ur laptop uses.

Its about 7X faster than a 56k modem,

1 example from vodafone but most of the other networks do it 2.

I got an Acer Ferrari notebook, it's broke 4 times in 12months, Acer support is crap, more like a Skoda than a Ferrari i'm telling you. My fault for being a poser i guess!

Ferrari F1 cars also use Shell petrol, but you ain't getting ths same fuel down your local Shell station are ya

As said, you can connect the laptop to your mobile phone (if you have a GPS enabled phone) via bluetooth or USB data cable and connect to the internet using your mobile phone as a modem.

If you happen to be in an area where there is a wireless network being broadcast and it's unlocked you could log onto it. Failing that there is a way to do it, but it involves a big ass battery pack and a 14" satalite dish and a lot of fooking around Seriously.....
