XP PRO - TRIED TESTED AND STILL SUPPORTED

It's amazing how much like XP the beta version of Windows 7 is !? Sure it has the glossy rounded edges of Vista, but it's been stripped down and rolled back to deliver what most people want - simplicity and speed.
Good thought this maybe, there will still be the usual 'teething problems' to endure, and if vista is anything to go by, it could be late 2010 before we can fully trust Windows 7 to behave itself.

Meanwhile, the tried and tested XP Pro still endures, and while it maybe a rare thing on a new machine, ex-corporate machines have been built to outlast the high street specials, and built to run XP. So check out our xp laptops, all fully tested with a clean install of XP Pro, engineer's report and ready to run, and run, and run until Windows 7 gets here !!!!
Thanks

Fujitsu Lifebooks - Find a Better Laptop

Buying a laptop is a personal thing right ? The boys will argue for hours on end about their own personal favourite - some like the slick looking sony vaio's (the girls also like them for this and also they do a pink one !) Some will argue that HP make the best & true they take some beating - well built, well styled & very well supported.

The truth is, most manufacturers make two or three levels of machine, with budget low end machines to cater for a mass market, like the ASUS eee pc. The likes of Acer, Advent and Medion focus on this segment, selling high volumes through chain stores etc, but reliablity may not be good.

Most brands will make a business level range of machines, with the Dell Latitudes being consistently some of the best. If you want a machine which is more likely to outlast a supermarket special then the business units will last the course. The Fujitsu Lifebook range are right at the top of the business market - starting from £800 new. These machines just tend to keep going, and the styling is certainly in the Vaio mould.

The Netbook Conspiracy - It's All About Profits

We often get asked why so many manufacturers are now offering netbooks instead or aswell as laptops. True there is definitely a growing market for these smaller machines as a stand in or second machine. The Asus eee pc is probably the pick of the bunch in terms of value for money and durability. However, there is a motive for this sudden dirth of netbooks thrust upon unsuspecting consumers - they're cheaper to make, and offer a better margin to the corporations who make them.
Put any netbook against a standard 15.4" widescreen laptop and sure the netbooks are more mobile, fun to use and a good tool, but in our opinion, you get far more for you buck with a laptop.

Notice something else ? Yep - prices of laptops at the lower end in particular have started to lift just as mass production of netbooks kicks in. You as a consumer are being politely, gently but determindly steered towards the margin making little netbook. Clever eh !
