Sorry for spamming the forum with another "what laptop" question but this time it's a bit different. I need a laptop, been looking at the Acer TravelMate series with a 12" screen. Went to have a look at one live today but they must not have treated me seriously since they didn't want to switch it on so I could have a look. The cheapest ones with a Core 2 Duo processor are about 600 pounds but I thought of spending an extra 300 which would allow me to get one more powerful than my desktop pc. Then I could replace my desktop with a laptop and just connect the keyboard, mouse and monitors to it. So, I'm sure some of you will have come across a very small laptop like that. Are there any downsides of it's size, like it being difficult to write documents on, make presentations or use graphic and video applications? (screen res is 1200x800) Also, is the performance of a laptop lower than that of a desktop computer with the same spec? And finally, what are the graphics cards on these things like? The laptop I'd probably be getting has an Intel X3100 card which takes memory from RAM if it is needed. Will that be ok for games like NFS Carbon, C&C Tiberium Wars? Don't really play games but it would be nice if they worked, could come in handy during long journeys. Also, how does one sync data between a laptop and desktop PC? Can it be done through USB or does one have to use LAN? Are there any sync programs for laptops? here's the exact model in case any of you have worked on one and can give an opinion on them Any help would be appreciated
