And the bit I hate is getting all my stuff off the current laptop to the new one. Do I recall there being some kind of cable that does this? rubschin:
My old laptop is on its last legs and it's time to replace it. I need one that does the basics: intermong, Microsoft Office and that's about it. Nothing too small and fiddly as the keyboard will be too cramped. Any suggestions?

Yes, I've got a cable wot does it like... but it only moves data and settings, not programmes so you have to re-install everything (Office, etc.) first...
How about this one...? (http://www.amazon.co.uk/HIGH-SPEC-LAPTOP-CLEARANCE-SALE/dp/B0034AX4BA/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1278072826&sr=8-3)

Still on the old Amazon kick-back then? ;)

As you would say: "Get a man in"
On your main question, I have a Toshiba that has gone on for years with no problem, but i expect there are much 'cooler' brands these days.
Very tempting, but since BM recommended it I will wait for an educated opinion angel1
Not bovvered about battery life, so BM's recommendation wins on price. NEXT
But does it have a CD/DVD drive thingy????
* ** HIGH SPEC ** LAPTOP CLEARANCE SALE ASUS X5DC
* LATEST WINDOWS 7 * 15.6'' SCREEN * CARD READER *
* 3GB RAM * INTEL CELERON D220 CPU * WIFI *
* 250GB HARD DRIVE * WEBCAM * DVD REWRITER *
* ! INCLUDES WARRANTY AND DELIVERED BY COURIER
If you move everything across chances are you will slow the new lap top down to almost as slow as the old one. Throw out the crap and save all else to a portable hard drive so you can access it when you need it but it won't be cluttering up your new machine. angel1
And wot is this cable one uses to move stuff across? And where does one buy them? And are there instructions?

Yes, but it is always gloomy.

OK, so I just ordered it (the one BM suggested) and it should be here in a few days cloud9:
Now then, this Laplink thingy. Tel, are you sure it werks like. If it does I shall get it and save myself hours of stupid hassle reinstalling stuff (which in some cases I don't have). If it doesn't werk I shall be heading to Sarf London with weapons eveilgrin:

Read the reviews on Amazon (the link I gave you) - about half say it werks perfick and half say it is utter shite... You can reverse anything it does tho so I'd say it is worth a punt - and it comes with the cable...

That's the trubble. If half say it werks and half say it's shite then I am confuzzled. SUrely either it werks or it doesn't rubschin:
The fault invariably resides with the user. whistle:Exactly. I think I will order it. What can possibly go wrong?
It's arrived cloud9: cloud9: cloud9: cloud9: cloud9: cloud9:
I have yet to do Tel's LapLink thingy scared2:

I did mention the file and docs transfer - try it for data and settings, software will have to be installed piece by piece - at least then you have the option of junking stuff. The Mover software is never going to be a 100%, don't think anyone would be mad enough to give that assurance.
Windows Mail replaces Outlook Express, but I use Outlook.
As for Office, that's standard practice these days. prolly other stuff as well.
Did mention about patience as well.
Whenever the word dongle is mentioned I always think of Rambling Syd Rumpo rubschin:

Windows Mail is only in Vi$ta I think...? rubschin:
Nick...
Download Open office - it is free and a direct replacement for Micro$oft office...
Then download Mozilla Thunderbird - it is free and will import all your Outlook Express stuff...
Then download Mozilla Firefox - it is free and much better than Internet Explorer...
OK?

This Thunderbird e mail thingy is set to the wrong time! SUrely it should pick up the correct time from the pooter rubschin:
2 things.redface:
Check date/time/settibg
Check time-zone setting - I think you maybe set to a non UK time zone.
I am still training it to understand me. WHen I talk to it it usually types rubbish noooo:
