Hello y'all,
Was wondering if you kind people could give me some help? I'm looking for the smallest, lightest, cheapest laptop/netbook able to connect to a projector and run a Powerpoint 2007 presentation with videos.
Here's the FAQ answers to give you guys more of an idea:
1. What is your budget?
As little as possible but I could go up to around £350 (≈ $570)
2. What is the size of the notebook that you are considering?
As small and portable as possible
3. What screen resolution do you want?
It's not too important what size the resolution is on the main screen but the size sent to the projector should be at least 1280x720 (though 1680x1050 would be nice)
4. Do you need a portable or desktop replacement laptop?
Portable. Definately portable.
5. How much battery life do you need?
It'll probably be plugged in when using it so this isn't that important
6. Do you want to play games with your laptop? If so then please list the games that you want to with the settings that you want for these games. (Low,Medium or High)?
It would be nice to be able to play a bit of Minecraft (don't mind turning fogging on) but other than that it's not really for games.
7. What other tasks do you want to do with your laptop? (Photo / Video editing,watching movies, Etc.)
Powerpoint presentations with .avi (codec Microsoft Video 1) and possibly .mp4 videos (H.264) as they have good compression in high-def. The ability to show these over an externally attached projector.
8. How much storage (Hard Drive capacity) do you need?
100 gig should be enough (but the more the merrier)
9. If you are considering specific sites to buy from, please post their links.
Erm, not sure. I suppose you guys know best on this one.
10. How long do you want to keep your laptop?
Until it falls apart. It'll probably remain frozen in time though (software-wise) with just MS Office and Firefox installed onto it.
11. What kind of Optical drive do you need? DVD ROM/Writer,Bluray ROM/Writer,Etc ?
Just a USB port (or 2).
12. Please tell us about the brands that you prefer to buy from them and the brands that you don't like and explain the reasons.
I've heard HP laptops have a tendency to fall apart but other than that I'm not really bothered. (Apologies to HP owners if this isn't true).
13. What country do you live in?
UK
14. Please tell us any additional information if needed.
For hooking up to a projector it must have a VGA out and also a headphone jack. I think that's it though.
I hope that's enough info for you guys. Thanks in advance for your help.
