If you had upto £600 to spend on a laptop what would you buy?

[katz]

Our old desktop is on its last legs and DH would like to replace it with a laptop.

So what should we buy?

I am by no means an expert on these things but we have a Sony Vaio which has been great over the last 3.5 years since dp bought it for me! It is used daily, though largely for the internet!

my work laptop is a sony vaio - but i got it because it is red and shiney! not for any proper reasons!

I'd push up the budget a little and get this!

LOL I wondered how long it would take someone to mention MacBooks I was coming on to say I'd get a refurbed MacBook.

my work desktop is a mac - i'm lucky enough to have both a dekstop and a laptop.

i love my mac but wasn't sure about it for our home computer, all DH does is word processess and power point. is it really work buying a mac?

I only really use firefox at home, but I just lurrrve our macbook pro and would hate to use windows at home, to me windows=work!

We have a Powerbook G4, they go for about £400 on ebay atm with a 15" screen (have been looking as thinking of getting another one to replace our older 2nd mac).
Does everything we need (largish d/base, accounts etc for work, plus web etc for home).
