|
|   * Affordable
|   * Good-size screen; min 1024x768; pref better
|   * Usable keyboard with trackpad - not a little knob amongst the keys
|   * Warranty - preferably 3 years
|   * No M$ tax
|   * Decent weight and battery life
|   * Ventilation at the back or sides (so it won't choke if run on a soft
|     surface that would block any ventilation coming from below).

| to a desktop box with any necessary peripherals.
|
| Bearing that in mind, is there anywhere local[1] worth visiting, and
| does anyone have any recommendations?
|
|
| [1] Tavistock, Plymouth, or not-too-far

I'll print this off and visit Titan here in Exeter.. i'll let you know
what they think...
