I'm considering buying a laptop PC. I know that there have been threads on the topic on several occasions but I tried to search using the word "laptop" but could not find any obvious links. Is it just me or would it help to have a separate forum for hardware?

Anyway, I'm after advice that will help my selection. I don't want to use the laptop for major processing...mainly for wordprocessing, internet usage and viewing photos on location if needed. However I am wondering what software I should run on the laptop and therefore what Laptop specs I should look for. Any specific brand suggestions. In fact any help you could offer would be greatly appreciated.

cheers

Terry
