Hi,
Will be starting a new job next month so will be in the market for a) child nanny robot; b) new laptop for the 3-hour round train trip.
Sadly a) doesn't exist.
But for b, anyone know of any good feature-selector matrix for current laptops?
In particular, I'm after a decent res display (1400x1050 or better), not too big but big enough for a real keyboard, must run linux perfectly (I can check linux-laptops after the fact for that). SSD would be nice, but without it being a fliddy little thing like the EEEPC.
My current machine is an HP NC 6220 which I really like, except one hinge has fractured (see rough use), short of RAM, disk is dodgey and the aux sound port micro-pcb needs changing as the headphone socket is dead. And the battery is shot.
All of those are eminently fixable but would probably cost more in parts than a new machine.
Haven't had much luck googling, but as there are feature-matrix sites for things like digicams, I feel I may have missed something...
Cheers
Tim
