Pro\'s & Cons Of a Laptop ?

[wizard2010]

I\'m thinking of investing in a new lapop.
Ive never owned one, but i know my way around a Pc and
Hardware and Software.

What things should i look out for ?
What\'s good and whats bad?

I\'m going to use it for mobility of data, not large amounts but to be able to run most software, not games as i have a home pc for that.
i do want to do my homework and get a half decent one.
Price v\'s Quality = Result

Thanks for any advice http://images.thetechguide.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\'\' />

Any good links for Laptops?
I\'m in the UK.

Trying not to sound like an ad here, but since it sounds like you don\'t need a powerful system, check this out:  www.thetechguide.com/stylistic1200.

I have two left and while they\'re not the most powerful things around (Pentium 120), they are ultra-portable.

hehe...i would go the sony R505 superslim pro..if i have the budget..well you put linux on it...and there you are fly to your own dream....
overall, it\'s not a very strong notebook, but if you\'re thinking of using it as a business purposes, i\'d go for it.
good luck
