1129005 2010-08-18 05:43:00 I like a ultraportable so that pushes up the prices certainly .

I need it for simple work - net, email, some simple photo editing with Adobe Lightroom .

Ultraportables tend ti be around 1 . 5Ghz for a Centrino Core Duo 2, with some cheaper ones - AMD Turion Neo 1 . 5 .

There are a few with a 2 . 5 cpu but they are v expensive here $3-4k, overseas is $1k USD .

Apprec your advice .



Thanks .

1129006 2010-08-18 05:52:00 NL are running some great specials - only problem the Promo closes today :) Zippity (58)
1129007 2010-08-18 05:55:00 NL doesn't have ultraportables. Meaning laptops without DVD drive and not a Netbook.

Thinking of getting used now given the price of them and if they break it might be alright ...
What's the difference among the below (2) in terms of speed, I know the 2010 has a larger screen and solid state HDD etc...

2010 current model:
shop.lenovo.com

2005 model:
