2nd December 2008, 11:25 AM #1 Spec/recommend me a laptop please
I need a new laptop, one for web surfing and photo editing using photoshop. Build quality is paramount and a good screen no bigger than 15.4". Im looking to spend up to £800 and want the best for my money without going ott.
Smaller and thinner the better but not at Mac Book air thin.
Anyone seen something that fits the bill with a little wow factor thrown in?
Thanks
Chris

Spec provided in above quotation!

If you're after tiny, tiny PC's Advent (we've played with Advent 4211's) should do the trick, although it might not quite punch through in terms of power (and certainly not screen size), but it's small and costs very little. It'll certainly deal with web browsing, but it depends on how manic your photoshopping is I guess
