That's why we recommend a netbook. It's light, small and the power
supply of my EEE 701 is smaller than my cell phone charger.


Like I said in my original post, it's an issue of screen and computing
power. I'm looking for a powerful laptop (core2 T9500 or simillar) with a 15"
display so that I can work on it without using an external monitor at home and
in the office.

Netbooks are nice for the occasional work outside, carrying and repairing
presentation and watching movies on the go. They are not work machines. They do
have the advantage of being cheep, but like I said, I was looking for sane in
work terms (~1500$) so that is not the issue.

I do have a friend who claims that he can run matlab on an eee pc, but I still
think that it's fiction ;-)

Hello,

Sorry for being a bit off topic



Thank in advance for your any advice or recommandation.





I would go with the vosotro line if you want to save money and
stick with dell. The inspiron is similar to all other home lines
which are cheap in all respects, not just the money.

I like the t61 but it's old now. the t500 are out, but the
reviews are mixed, apparently the keyboard has been replaced with
a cheaper one. They are not cheap of course, but you abuse your
laptop it will probably pay off.

A friend of mine has the vosotro 1440 I think (I believe it has
been replaced also with a newer model) and he is rather happy
with it.

Another one is willing to kill anyone who considers anything
other than macs.




Thanks for those hints. I will carry a bit more search into the
vosotro line. At the time I had purchased my old Thinkpad 600, it
was bound to be my main home personal computer, so I was prepared
to pay the price for something really good and nice for my
eyes..., but now that I mostly use a recent good desktop, my new
laptop will only serve on an occasional basis ; however I want it
reliable and not fragile, and powerful enough as far as wifi is
concerned.



One other thing that people often forget to look at when buying a
laptop. If you plan to have it mobile, check out the size of the
power supply. The cheaper laptops may look initially not much
heavier than the more expensive ones but the power supply can be a
serious brick that can add more than an extra pound to the total
weight
