Ok so I'm buying a laptop, because its impractical for me not to have one when I'm out and about for work. I'm going PC rather than mac, cos I'm not rich :-) I'll be using it for internet, email, and then a few film industry programs such as moviemagic scheduling, etc (which have reasonably low spec requirements so its all good), plus I'll want to use some games on it, like sims2, and will add some strategy games and stuff later, but it won't be a "gaming machine". I work in the film industry, so potentially I could be using it to put stuff on a showreel by way of the dvd burner at some stage.
What I want so far is ...
at least 512 mb ram
at least 80gig hard drive
bluetooth
built in wireless
DVD writer
intel centrino processor
Widescreen
any tips or advice on anything else? or what to steer clear of?
Or any suggestions on brands to look at?
