Hi,

The generally annoying thing with notebooks is that the touchpad tends to pick up tracking from the palm and cause the caret to jump off the line you're typing, consequently messing up the text. It may be a good idea to test this issue before buying.

Can't really RECOMMEND anything, since nothing really compares to desktop comfort... but I use Toshiba for fieldwork because that brand has given me least trouble over the last twenty years. I will never buy another Dell or Acer.

I would love to get a Panasonic Toughbook CF 31 or 53, but I spend most of my time in the office using desktop PC, so Toughbooks are too expensive per hour of use for me.

Best regards,

Tom
