The options are....
Toshiba M40-136

Sony Viao FS
spec:

or High Grade Notino C2200
spec:
Mobile Intel® Celeron®-M 1.3Ghz processor with 512k cache memory. Intel® Centrino® Mobile Technology. 512Mb RAM. 40Gb hard drive. DVD-ROM/CDRW combination drive. 12-in TFT Widescreen WXSGA colour screen. 802.11bg wireless network card. PC card slot. CF type 2 socket. 2 x USB 2 ports.
I can get one of those and i'm not to sure on Widescreen laptops cos i think they might be a bit bulky.
Just wondering which one you guys would pick out of those for general document and web/graphic design use. If it was a pc i'd know what to get straight away bu don't really know the first thing about laptops.
Thanks
Simsy

yeah i'm thinking the sony viao. The Tosh has slightly better spec than the Sony but it will be cool to own a Viao.
Don't think i'd buy that guys one cos i will be getting one of these for under £500 hopefully.
Not to sure about it being widescreen. Will it just stretch everything on the screen making everything look wide or does it give you a bigger desktop area if you know what i mean.
