Just been speaking to a Dell rep about a replacement laptop. I need good battery life, a small and light machine and XP Pro. to work on our office server.
None of the regular netbooks come with XP Pro, so they rep said they have a Latitude 2100 which they can spec with XP Pro. Similar to most netbooks (Atom 1.6 CPU, 160 GB HDD, 1GB RAM, 10.1" screen...) but built to their Latitude ruggedness. In addition I'd get an upgrade to Vista Business and for £15 to MS the upgrade discs to Win 7 Prof too.
Sound like a good deal or not?
Failing that, what are the implications of getting a Sammy NC10 say and an OEM version of XP Pro from the that Rainforest site?
