Hi, I'm new to "PCS" (other than configuring and almost buying a Cosmos iv about a year back), but I taught IT and Web design (amongst other things) since 1995, and have regularly used computers since 1992.
Intentions for the new laptop (which I shall use in preference to a desktop) are:-
Frequent email, web-browsing, watching TV and video.
Fairly frequent web-design (Dreamweaver), video and photo processing, accounts.
Occasional word processing, spreadsheets and databases.
Unfortunately(?) I'm conditioned to MS ('doze, "Office", etc), so I'll need that from the outset, though I might consider experimenting with linux as a "side-line".
Research around this forum has helped me fine tune to my current saved configuration
Any thoughts are appreciated.
