ODAY, after years of self-flagellation you're actually going to buy yourself a notebook computer. One that you can take anywhere to play Doom on. No more last minute copying of disks in the office before you go home. No more feelings of utter jealousy when you see those smart machines being drawn out of their cases in coffee shops to the green looks of the surrounding patrons.
Freedom is here at last.
Maybe its time to step back and actually try to understand what the numbers mean and what one should buy these days. Help is here. We've gone through the agony of buying a notebook, so we can point our feeble torch through this jungle of jargon, and hopefully help you see the light. Before it's too late. For one thing it isn't much cheaper.
