Hi,

Just goes to show what's often taken as being standard often isn't 'smile'.

I've got so used to being wireless I don't know what I'd do without Bluetooth.  
But, I'm eager to know if there will be a new specification of the standard 
soon what with USB 3.0 coming out.  Whereas Bluetooth is great for device 
pairing, it's still terribly slow in terms of transfer speeds.

I made that mistake myself Steve buying a laptop recently at 480 pounds and 
could not believe there was no bluetooth. Took it for granted that there would 
be. Disgusted when I discovered my mistake. Still we learn from our mistakes 
and guess a bluetooth dongle only set me back a further few pounds.

Hi Denis,

It's not usually hard disk capacity that suffers, but things like
DVD/CD drives, which in turn help keep the overall size down..

I've got a Toshiba Satellite T130 which has 2 GB of memory (and can
take 1GB more), a 256 GB hard drive, wireless, Bluetooth and even a
web cam, Windows 7 Premium, and weighs just over 3 pounds.  

And it cost just under £400 including VAT.

George.

Hello All,
Could anyone with experience of notebooks weighing a few pounds please
recommend one? 
I possess a Samsung N120 and like it a lot but it is still too heavy
for me
to tote around and use on the lap for long.
Presumably you have to sacrifice hard disk memory for the lower
weight?
Memory is important as I am a user of a number of client software
programmes
and Jaws etc. I would like a notebook to ensure the keys are large
enough.
Regards,
Denis
