Laptops

Mooga · 09-13-2008, 08:14 PM

So here's the story. I'm using a Ghetto laptop that's basically rigged together. It's an old 1.2 P3 with 512 Ram. However, it has between 8 and 9 hours of battery life. I would like a new laptop since the mobo is having issues

All I need on the laptop:
- Wifi
- Web Browsing
- IMing
- Office 2003
- Remote Desktop
- 2 USB ports
- Over 3 hours of batter life
- Light weight
- Window XP Pro

What I DO NOT want:
- Optical Drive, I don't need one or want one
- Vista. I want a simple low-end system

I would like to stay on the $500 (USD) price range.
I'm using it for typing and slacking off... I have no need for gaming power... my desktop can do that.

Thanks!

Have you looked at the new Atom based laptops? They're small and I suspect REALLY gentle on power consumption...no optical drive and have wifi.

Here's an example of what I'm talking about.
