There's no doubt that Notebook computers are very handy little items to have. Especially if you travel a lot.
There are some very good deals around at the moment and well worth checking out as soon as possible before they disappear.
Computers are a bit like clothes ~ one size rarely fits all.
If you are just starting out and haven't yet become used to using a computer, you just need the basics. But when you have been working with computers for a while and have 'hit your straps' you are used to using things a certain way and you know what you use and what you don't need. By being able to add or subtract into your computer is a real bonus.
There are some great deals around now and this one's a good one so I strongly recommend you wander in and take a good look. You'll be glad you did.
Warmly,
Jan
