Well, my wife and I went shopping this afternoon and we found a Toshiba laptop that we liked, Centrino Duo, 1.5MG ram and a 120G HD, with Windows Media Center edition. It should serve us well for a long time. Now comes the task of trying to hook up a wireless network for both the new computer and a printer. Has anyone done that recently? Any advice? Thanks for all the help.
Regards, Mike

Mike I've never owned but one laptop, the one I'm typing on now, so I can't 
actually say this is an informed opinion but I'm very happy with it.   It's 
a Toshiba.  It's 3 or is it 4 years old now and I've never had a minutes 
trouble with it except for a cooling fan that started acting up.  I replaced 
it for about $15 bucks.

I store lots of pictures and recieve and send big files over the internet on 
a regular basis.  Works great.

Subject: [AT] OT - Laptop reccomendations


I've been thinking about sidelining our desktop and switching to a laptop 
instead. Ideally, I would like to install a wireless router so that my wife 
and I are not tied to the desk if we want to surf the web or read email. My 
question is, what type should I be looking for, and what features are 
important? I know very little about the chip sets used in laptops, and how 
they compare with the ones used in desktops. Here's what I would need the 
laptop to do. Internet and email (wireless), Microsoft Office applications, 
digital camera storage. Our desktop is a PIII 1GZ and it works just fine for 
what we do. Any thoughts with regards to brands/features would be 
appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike
