I need to buy a laptop now so i can save on my electricity bills!!! :icon32:
If you're thinking of it, I'd recommend buying second hand and being prepared to buy a new battery for the unit. Go for a model which was high-end when released, doesn't matter if they're old cause the old high-end laptops absolutely smoke the new low and mid-ranged laptops, even if the newer ones have much higher specs. They're just built worse, run hotter, clunk along, have shitty BIOS... and so on.
I totally lucked out with this one, 20 quid and appears to have been turned on about 5 times in its life

got two old panasonic toughbooks that i picked up for less than £150 each with extra batteries and wifi cards (and extra memory in one of them). if i'm just doing admin or web stuff then they're more than up to the task. as well as the power saving benefits - it's great having something to work on that's portable, sturdy, quiet, reliable and as good as disposable. started working from a truecrypt disk a while back so syncing with my desktops at home/work is a doddle. just xcopy or grab the whole disk.
all i need to do now is trade my brain in for one with functioning short term memory and some patience and i'll be totally sorted
