i would like some suggestions please as to a good replacement laptop for my aging pc
i want 17" screen and if possible XP os and firewire
my uses are mainly ms office word and excel, and internet using broadband
i dont do gaming or watch tv or films on computer
there are a lot out there with vista but i use a tesco laptop with vista basic and 512 ram so i havent been to happy with the performance
i use another laptop to do video editing and it is running XP
i have an old XP disc and licence but it isnt SP2 even...could i use that to reinstall XP instead of vista and is SP 3 really a necessary addition..i know it will take some time to download all the updates...the XP i have was installed in my present pc in 2002
hope someone can advise please
