One of those flat computer thingies

Mrs. England project is looking to buy our first ever laptop for her evil capitalist business venture. This is where she offers her services to a local clientele for cash. The laptop market is not one that I am particularly familiar with so I thought I’d put up a quick post just in case any readers can help.

Firstly, the question of cash. My good lady is looking to spend about 700 pounds, maybe 800. It’s not much but then the requirements are not particularly high as the machine will be used for the production of documents and other similarly low demand tasks.

The machine must have:

Wireless networking.
256mb memory minimum 512mb preferable.
Good battery life.
DVD re-writer.
Good construction and looks (customers will likely see it).
Windows XP.
We would prefer a Pentium processor but a Celeron will suffice (1.4mhz min).
40 gig hard drive minimum.
At least 2 usb ports (the more the merrier).

If you have any recommendations please email us.

Email from the Mrs.: Processor type is not an issue.
