Hi Peeps,
Need a laptop.
Nothing special.
Has to have a SMALL screen, and have EXCELLENT battery life, also be reliable and be able to have loads of programmes open at once.
Looking to pay £300 max.
Can anyone point me in the right direction.
All help appreciated.
Please keep on topic.

HP 6720s. It will do all that you want and also includes a free miulti function printer. Its not a particularly small screen though at 15.4"

new dell vostro 1310?
Posted by paul101
your best bet is probuably going to be the eeepc (tho you will have to use a Linux os which will be a shock
)
you want small and cheap, how about getting 2 or even 3 laptops??:

Has to be windows.
Also ideally after a 12inch screen.

Bump! Still looking.
Don't mind buying off the net now and can also go up to 13inch screen.
Can anyone help?

I have an IBM R40e that I'm just about to clean and sell. The battery life is rubbish though.
Posted by Merc_Man
How much and what size screen etc?
Posted by goldenface
Sorry mate just found a buyer in my place of work. The same ones are on eBay for about £140. I just upgraded hence the sale.
