OK, chaps! a while ago I had £600 stuffed in my stockingtop with which to buy a laptop, and I came in here for advice on which one to buy. BUT carpetbaggers stole my money. Of Course. So I never got the laptop and am still beavering away on my Samsung N220 Plus netbook. (I love you li'l netbook! )
I had a ticket out of Stepford which I was going to cash in, but I have been offered pretty much anything I want if I keep the ticket in my stockingtop where the £600 used to be. Including a computer of just about any price I wish to name.
So I have come back for more advice. You are all writers so you will know what sort of machine will suit me best.
Murmurs have been made about a sort of tiny touchpad which would be linked to a big screen that could also be used as a tv.
But y'know, I don't think I could do my marking, and scientific analysis of quantitative data (I did not really say that, I am fluttering my eyelashes desperately here), and writing smut on a huge screen that all the piglets will see when they come round to tea at my house.
I think a laptop is my best option; I just want something proper to work on with a proper-sized keyboard. Cuz I am not a size queen and have little fingers, but I would like a nice sized screen to look at when I admire pictures of naked men, I mean inspiring words by the inspiring writers on here who often inspire me to great things .
Seriously, if possible I would like something that I can have two windows at once to look at, as I often have two things I want to switch between - being bisexual 'n all.
It has to work hard, cuz I do use a lot of different software, some of which is demanding on memory or fast processing, or whatever it takes. I do online teaching, as well as analysis. I sometimes record an audio file, lalala .
I like to carry the computer around with me, mostly working in the kitchen, sometimes in the garden. The poor machine has to be capable of being moved to the side unit and having pancake batter splashed on it when I enthusiastically go to post in Misquotes while waving the pancake pan around.
I will still have my netbook so I can surreptitiously edit smut at the swimming pool without it being too obvious to other parents.
BuckyDuckman had some good advice last time, so I am reposting it in case it needs updating.
At this stage, on the advice I had last time, I'm thinking about a Toshiba as they are reputed to last a long time and a gurrrl likes that.
Thank you to all who helped me last thread, and in advance for your help here.
