Hello,

Can anyone recommend a good site for laptop reviews? The reviews on
http://reviews.cnet.co.uk/ all seem to be a year old.

Or can anyone recommend or discommend models of laptops?
- I need something with more memory than I have now (currently 512Mb,
guessing I need 2 or 4GB)
- Windows user, but prepared to reconsider
- Need to run quite a few hungry apps concurrently (Eclipse, Flash,
Office apps, browsers, music player, maybe Photoshop)
- looks and weight not important. it can be ugly as sin - it just needs to work
- decent connectivity (wireless, bluetooth, a 3 or 4 USB, firewire,
DVI, s-video, line in/out, moon on a stick)

Any advice, good experiences or horror stories would be much appreciated

Thanks,
James
