fine we gathered you just want a machine for general web browsing and messaging so you wont be requiring anything that needs a lot of grpahics power... integrated graphics will suffice then.

what im trying to get at is will you be working away from your desk (or power) much?

is weight a factor?

how big do you want to get screen wise?

yes I will work a lot without AC power.
Weight doesn't matter, but I need at least 15,4 screen.

where you from uk/usa?

almost all laptops these days are 15.4Inch IBM's or HP's are a good bet, Acer are ok at a pinch but like dells ive had bad experiences and im not about to recommend them.

i wouldnt recommend you get anything less than a core2duo laptop, maybe an AMD turion at a push.

hp6720s is a good laptop imo 160gb hdd 1gb ram and 2ghz cpu speed do you have a budget?
