Thinking of buying a Laptop......I got one problem though, I'm not sure what brands are good or not. Have been looking at HP, Fujitsu and Compaq. Since I don't have enough money to buy one with the latest faetures I would like to know which ones to prioritise....USB, Firewire, IR and so on. What would you guys look for. The price range that I'm willing to pay is 10000-18000 sek (800-1500 USD). What should i get to match my T68?

Try a Toshiba. http://www.csd.toshiba.com

I currently use a Toshiba Tecra 8100 from its release up to now.

it all depends on your needs / job. firewire is great, used in high speed transfer of multimedia data. if your not into it better skip it off since it cost much. usb is a standard nowadways. actually a neccesity since most devices are now in usb format. ir is also nice. i suggest that you buy laptops with docking bay adapter. laptops that has docking bay is slim and weigh less than others. it cost less since it lacks other features like cd rom, ethernet, floppy disk and others. all these features are in the docking bay.

as to brand specific, one thing i could really say is don't buy fujitsu notebooks, it sucks! if you want quality i suggest thinkpad by ibm or dell. these two brands are neck to neck in leadership in notebooks and laptops. thinkpad i believe is by far the best when it comes to quality. and its devices are okay. hot swappable disk / floppy disk. they are pioneering now in wireless lan. but they do cost much.

for alternate, i suggest compaq. though sales of compaq laptop and notebooks are not that good, they do make a hell of a computer. they are slowly getting the edge with the mobile computing arena (thanks to their iPaq). their devices are a bit okay, expansions are available, not that pricy. quality is good. i suggest a presario.

Hot drive allows you to take out the cd drive and put in a cd writer, or a zip drive etc. They have loads of different accessories you can plug into the hotdrive.

like a usb that you can take out and exchange with a new device but it's not an external device. most hotdrives (hot swappable devices) are cd rom, hard drive, floppy drives and extra bat. the think pad had pioneered this technology.

in my opinion, for a thin & weightless one, check
IBM X-series or
SONY VX-series.
