I'm in the process of looking for a laptop, the only real requirement is that it is new and it's dockable. Here is a list of things that are most important to me and things that don't matter
1. Must be dockable: Have a docking station that includes audio, VGA, power, ect.
2. DVD player/CD-RW (this is probablly standard on most)
3. Price: my upper limit in price is around $1000, including dock
4. Speed: This falls way below the first 3, anything from a centrino 1.6 and up with 512mb preferbally.
Here is what is not important:
1. Video: I won't be playing any games with this machine, 32mb video ram would be more then enough
2. Screen size: any size will do.
3. Power consumption/battery life: not important.
I want something that is portable but most of it's life will probablly be spent in the docking station, maybe taking it out 3-4 times a week. I'll be doing mostly standard stuff like internet browsing, MS office, blah blah, and DVD ripping and encoding.
Just looking for some model numbers/manufacturers to point me in the right direction, thanks.
