Cheap laptops that aren’t total trash.:cyclops:  
I already have a good desktop pc, so this would be an extension of that.

Must be able to access a 54Mbps wifi network with WPA; even if a pcmcia card is a required purchase…:cantlook:

Should be used for writing text, reading webpages, IM; and some light GIMP or Photoshop work if at all possible…  
I could use long battery hours, in the order of 6h…:-/

Is it just not possible?  
Should I wait?:thumb:

I live in Portugal if it helps…  
I’ve thought of a MacBook Pro, but those are sickly expensive.  
Was thinking of a desktop replacement at the time.
