Resize at will.
Maybe the text field you’re typing in is a bit too small to read. Or maybe you just have a lot to say. Either way, Safari lets you resize text fields on any website, just by grabbing the corner of the field. Resize a field and the web page reflows to make room.
I bought my first laptop to see if I wanted to bother with lugging one around, I bought my second laptop because it does a better job than the first laptop in a smaller package, and the next excuse to buy a laptop will be a Mac.Thats cool and so small! I'm looking for a light weight travel book...
Tempted by an Apple - but wonder if wi-fi for a mac when out and about is a problem - my present at home ISP doesn't support Mac! Also, how about software on Mac - more expensive/hard to get ?
I'm a huge fan of lenovo (formerly ibm) laptops. They cost more, but are road worthy. The X series is small and powerful and has full size keyboards, but only barely. I agree with Nords about the tiny keyboards.
Whatever you pick, don't get the extended warranty. If it's going to fail it will fail in the first week of use.
Thank you Janet & Saluki for reminding me of the ThinkPad - used to have one when I was telecommuting before ER in 2001...built like a brickhouse and heavy like one when IBM made them...looking at the X61 right now...3.5 lbs 1 inch thick...$1025I'm also a huge fan of lenovo. My T-41 is still working great after 5 years.
Currently I have a X-60 that I take everywhere. At less that 4 pounds it's perfect for my briefcase and for travel. Also, I have pretty big hands and I can type without problems

I am shopping for a used laptop right now: 1gb RAM, 120gb disk 15.4" screen or 17', probably HP Pavillion. On Craigslist, several sellers are switching to iMacs. Those are the integrated desktops with the huge, bright, wide screen. A friend just got one and its is pretty. Apple shipped over 2.1 million Macs this quarter up 400k over any previous quarter and 34% ahead of last year.
(PS I am an AAPL shareholder but have not yet had one of their computers.)
(She's not had any problem either with opening/editing docs created in MS Word, even without any additional software.)
Mac's cannot read WordPerfect documents. Some of us contrarians at work still use it. Is that a problem for some of you current Mac users? My WordPerfect system will easily convert to MS Word so I sent all documents in both versions.
