Nice article. Here’s my situation. I trade stocks. I like to read papers, articles, surf the ‘net.

I don’t play games,not interested in downloading the new thing of the year much less the year.

So..how much can I do what I want, follow stocks, trade w/speed, read, surf by getting an inexpsensive laptop and still have a good computer?

Do you have any suggestions as to which brand, model I can get. I would like to be able to burn cd’ s however.

TIA for any help you might give.

Heh, Vista movie maker makes a hash of my camera’s movies (Fuji F30), reads them with funny lines and visual corruption – though all other players on my machine (Win media player included) have no trouble with the camera’s encoding. So another strike for vista.

But now I have a copy of Expression Suite (thanks MS!) so I’ll give that a try next.

At least with the latest updates itunes doesn’t run at a crawl on vista (thought for a while that might be a sneaky cupertino conspiracy)

oddly enough… I agree with all of this. Oh, except the Vista part And no it’s not because I’m a MSFT drone (I don’t work on Vista remember?) but it’s because when I get a new machine I’d like the latest and greatest version of Windows on it. That’s Vista. Will it be slower, likely, but it does more stuff.

Thank you Thomas. This information is timely and helpful. (My old Thinkpad is still performing but showing signs of mortality.)

I always have questions about handhelds and phones. There are so many options now, and it’s very difficult to predict or manage costs…I also don’t like to throw things out every time something new comes along.

The issue is not so much about equipment but about finding the right budget for subscription and transcation costs…
