Spec me a laptop

[Garyj881]

Hi all,

My work is after 2 x laptops.

ourt internal IT department has quoted upto £500 on two Fujitsu c2d gb systems but I'm sure you can beat that.

Budget £500 (excluding delivery)

Must have

C2D CPU
Wireless
120gb+ hdd
2gb of ddr2
Good battery life
Robust (engineers break things easy)
Weight not an issue
Microsoft Office word /Excel

They will be running various electrical programs (not autocad or anything intense).

Its sole purpose is a to run a new controll software for work with ups systems / control gear.

So not having any system requirements on this I just want to get the best i can for the money.

I looked at the Dell Vostro but I don't need high spec gfx card.
