Hi , I considered myself to be a new bie in laptops worlds.
And i need help From all the Pros out there to advise me to choose a good laptop for me :P
.
Anyway my first laptop was a Texas Instrument Travel mate With P 150 MMX
that was long ago, now it already died :P
after that i use a desktop system cause i have a trauma using laptop as my texas Instrument suffer from a lots of bad sectors on the Hard Disk
But soon after that i bought this So called "desk note" from ECS which is bassically a laptop without a built-in Battery, with Celeron 1,0 Shared V card, 256 MB, and 20 G hard disk, it's very basic, but i'm quite satisfied with it,
Cause i Find desktop to be very untidy on my work table, alot of wires and eat alot of spaces
Anyway, now i'm in search for a "real" laptop as time for me to upgrade from my ECS desknote.
I will use it mainly to surf the net, Making Excel, managing and editing my videos, picture, and MP3s. Gaming wise i only play those like NBA Live, or Championship Manager, Im not in to those 3D games.
Ill connect it mainly to AC outlet, as i Seldom bring my laptop around, so battery life is not a big problem with me. And i want a 15'4 Wide screen.
Anyway i want it to be good built and last long.

-15'4 WXGA
-Pentium M 1,7 Dothan

Which Will Suit Me better for My Needs ??
and How Small the fonts on the WSXGA Compared to WXGA ?? Will it be very hard to see ??
And Brand Wise, Which Has a better Built ?? Toshiba / Asus ?
Actually , here in My country, Toshiba is more popular, and have a lot of spare parts for it , so i need no worry, but this Asus which is not so popular brand in my country have a very tempting warranty, which is 2 years international warranty with Replacement, no question Asked.
Actally i like the model and design of the W1 very much, It's very sleek and compare to the Toshiba which i think very bland, and normal Looking. But I have No Idea wheter the Asus Will Be A better build or Worse.
AS for the M6BNE , i also consider that cause i've read a lot of Good Review of them in this great Forum.
Please guide me to get a perfect Machines for me,
and a better buy for me.
Money Is no Object, But I Need Reliabillity and performance, also a Good Screen.
Thank You Very much
Sorry for My broken English.
