My feeling is that if I am going to replace my desktop, then I need as large a screen as possible. That is why I have only considered full size laptops so far and not notebooks.On 11/02/2010 15:43, Julian Hall wrote:Hi Neil,Not quite what you asked but have you thought about a net-top, such as the Eeebox? - http://www.ebuyer.com/product/148886Much lower power consumption than a desktop, with a VESA mount so it will attach to the back of a TFT flat panel, leaving the desktop totally free for the keyboard and mouse and under desk space totally free for the likes of printers, scanner etc :) Main benefit being in that you don't have to use a smaller laptop screen - if eyesight is a concern, or worry too much about system spec if you use any power hungry programs - also I believe they work quite nicely on Linux. Also £ for £ net-tops are a lot cheaper if budget is an issue - as it is for most people these days.Kind regards, JulianOr the Acer Revo which is cheaper... http://www.ebuyer.com/product/167153I'd like to get one of these Acer Revos as they have the NVidia ION chipset which has support for HD video acceleration and due to the small size it would make a great media PC.Rob Rob
