Spec me :)

[Heaven Can Wait]

This is for a friend, he has between 500-700 to spend, Thanks.

Qualities I am interested in:

Windows XP, but I have my own copy of Windows XP pro, so the laptop should just be able to run it. I also have 64bit edition but I doubt I'll need it.

Lots of Ram.

Fast Processor.

A screen that is clear, and readable in many different types of light.

A GREAT battery.

Lightweight and good case design.

A good soundcard.

Things I am not interested in:

Video games.

A ridiculous harddrive: I have an external one

geeky things like fingerprint scanning

Apple

Don't think he needs that size HDD or Gfx Card as it was in his not interested list

Also 2Gb of RAM isn't "lots", he may as well downgrade those two and get a faster CPU and more RAM.

OP what size screen did your friend want?

Im guessing a 15.4 screen, seeing as its meant to be fairly lightweight, but he says that battery is an issue.
Thanks for all the replies.
