When buying a new notebook, what is good at the moment? And do I need a widescreen display? Are they better?

Hi. It depends. First of all, it is you who should know, if he is willing to have a wide screen tft and who has to heed the purse. Wide Screen tfts are known for they "human" look, because our eyes see the world in a broad look, so it is more adapted at out nature. So, as i said at the beginning, it depends on you.

That also depends on your demands. What do  you want to work on, with a notebook?

Well, if that`s the case, then i would affirm, that you need a core 2 duo cpu (e.g. Intel T 5XXX) , a graphic card with 128 MB Ram (e.g. geforce 7400 GO) and at least 1 GB Ram, a hard disk with a capacity of 80 GB or more. That are the main components, that you should use. The rest depens, but the more the notebook inherits, the more are the costs. I think ebay should be a good target to search for models. But you could also ask for cheap shops in your home country in forums, which are hold in your language and country.

Hi |

Besides these basic figures like CPU model or graphics adapter there are a lot of others things to mention which probably don't seem to be obvious at a first glance:

- Decide if you prefer a reflective or a non-reflective screen. Reflective ones provide a brighter visualization with more contrast. However, the reflection of environmental objects can be cumbersome.

- Make sure the notebook fits your needs _entirely_! In most cases there's no chance to upgrade the computer. Watch out for the notebook's interfaces! Although you can install some of them by using a USB Adapter or PCMCIA slots, this should be a stopgap, as those are limited.

- If you can, go and get a picture of the notebook in a retailer's shop. Some models look nice on web images, but might give you a cheap impression if you really hold it in your hands. The keyboard might make annoying sounds, or the case might be of a poor quality.

- Furthermore, check out if the Battery is easily removeable. This is important if you're planning to work a lot with the computer plugged to mains supply. Otherwise your battery would be damaged quite fast.

Good look!
