i just bought a 2nd hand laptop yday.

i would of gotten a new one, but my laptop i was using before is getting repaired.

its an ibm thinkpad

it looks pretty crap which is good cause noone will steal it =D.

its a 14.1", 2.00 duo core, 2gb ram, 100gb 7200 sata.

it had a 9 cell battery, which should last about 4 and something hours, which was the main reason i got it.
also came with a 6 cell which only holds 2 hours charge.

so 6 hours in total isn't that bad =D

as for your question,
i'd get something cheap for uni.
something that wouldn't hurt you that bad if it got stolen.
make sure your laptop isnt your main computer as well,
if it is, then back up your data EVERY NIGHT

Haha I dragged a 15.6" Toshiba laptop around for about a month before I got fed up and bought my MSI Wind U100

i have an msi wind and i highly recommend it

IBM Laptops tend to be reliable, very sturdy too (even though they look bad LOL) Unless it's the Ideapad series that is

I considered getting a 9 cell battery once before, but it made the laptop more bulky =/

ASUS' Ion-infused Eee PC 1201n netbook emerges overseas -- Engadget

not sure if 12" is your go though.
alot of people are saying 'bah 10" max for netbook'

 

[SeCKSiiMiNh]

noo... i want something local. i just want to go to my local computer shop, pick one up and take it home.

 

[theism]

these are decent

OnLine Computer

or

Toshiba NB200 (buy more ram)

or

Asus UL30

 

[CecilyMare]

I was going to get the asus 1201n but it's hardly even released in australia yet. the only one i found was from some random shop in melbourne that was selling them for 780$, also it doesn't have a cd drive for a netbook that is almost a laptop.

in the end i just got a dell inspiron 13z off dell.com.au.

 

[SeCKSiiMiNh]

ohhh the benq one looks sweet

 

[mcflystargirl]

CD drives are over rated tbh.

The MSI wind is a great netbook i have had mine for about 18 months now and have never ever regretted buying it.

 

[CecilyMare]

i also dislike netbooks for their lack of windows 7 home premium +

 

[mcflystargirl]

it is called upgrade

Some come with home premium too.

i was gunna get a laptop, but after reading some of the posts here, i realised how tiring it could be to drag one around uni.

 

[CecilyMare]

it depends what laptop, my dell one is 1.7kg

is that heavy?

1.7kg is not that heavy. My Sony Vaio weighs 2kg+ but I don't intend to carry it around uni.
