| 548011 | 2007-05-07 07:16:00 | Hello I had a look through PF1 to find a selection/list of PC laptops and often it comes up in connection with macbook, and had a good look at the MacBook specs. I just would like to know which ones are the better of Windows based laptops. Any ideas out there? Thanks NT |

| 548014 | 2007-05-07 18:02:00 | Are you wanting to get one of each? winmacguy no, one has to be enough. After all, I do not play games at all, it is solely for work and other things like the one I am doing right now. I would also run a 23"screen (my eyes are getting are getting older) at work and one at home(23" dell at the moment). Would someone be able to pinpoint to a decent survey of the laptops? Anyway, how well do those machines last in comparrison to a tower? I heard that the laptops are failing(ageing) much faster? If not getting a laptop, what would be the best way to synchronise the office machine with the home machine so I can work at home and vice versa without too much trouble. I suspect that remote desktop and similar options are not to good here as our faaaaaaaast internet would be a pain! NT |

| 548015 | 2007-05-07 19:38:00 | ASUS SOny Toshiba With Toshiba make sure it has a 3 yr warranty, some do and other models only get 1 year. As for synchronising. What do you do on it exactly? Why not just install the same application you use on the home PC and using a USB drive transfer the data to the work PC when you go in? |

Maybe I would have to do it with Acronis/Ghost? Though it takes a bit of time so it is not a rush job at the end/start of the day. Say if I would backup(file/folder images) and restore on the second machine I could continue to use this machine and have a PC at work? NT |

NT It sounds like a decent broadband connection with a secure remote login would be an economical business decision although it is very quick and easy 30 second job to transfer files to a USB drive or iPod at the end of the day and access them from your PC at home and resave the changes when you have finished. |
