Right, I'm trying to be a writer but on my desktop there are too many distractions, facebook, games, stumbleupon I can find anything to distract me. I want something that I can take out of my comfort zone and go and write for a while on something.
So what I want is a laptop that isnt well flashy or anything but then again isn't as slow as a mule, I've seen laptops that take an hour and half to load up Word etc. and while I dont want flash and jazz etc. I dont wanna be waiting for hours for it to start up and things. I wouldn't mind wireless capability because I do upload what I've done and I need to find competitions and that sort of thing.
Obviously I want to spend as little as possible but I'm looking for a hundred pounds or so, when I've been looking on eBay and whatnot, the specs are so varied that I'm not sure which are rubbish and are overpriced etc.
So what sort of specs suit that sort of price range? I've seen 20Gb drives, 256mb ram upto 40Gb and 1Gb ram for the same sort of prices, whats right? I'm not arsed about it having been used and things, just dont wanna get jipped, any input will be appreciated.
cheers
