I am regularly asked by friends and customers what to look for when buying a
new laptop. 'Should I go for Vista? which processor? how much memory? what
do you recommend? I have given my opinions and recommended some great
systems here:

Here's a shocker: Your "recommendations" look startlingly like
advertisements.

Are you suggesting that someone would actually SPAM this pristine
newsgroup? I am totally devastated!

I don't necessarily hold that opinion, but I might if we could agree
upon a suitable stipend.

I don't think you are asked at all, you are too busy
spamming them.

If you say what you are going to use it for then it would be easier to
make a recommendation. If you are going to do video editing you might
want one with a larger hard drive but that would boost the price. If you
are not going to save large files on it then you could get one with
say an 80 gig drive. Also whether you will burn DVD's or CDs makes a
difference in how much you need to spend. You should also pay attention
to the ports how many USB ports will you need or other types of
connecting outlets. Everything is determined by what you plan to use it
for If you are likely to give it rough treatment there are laptops that
are built for more rugged use.
