smallest laptop £1500

aurora_borealis_2

Hi,

I need the smallest, lightest laptop possible for £1500.

It's to be used for field research and will be storing recorded data.

Any suggestions? :beer:

Dell Latitude X1?

'Bout a grand last time I looked at them.

If you don't need the latest spec, you could always go second hand for a couple of hundred instead.

If as I guess this is being bought for you by company etc, I'd take a look at Sony, I'm sorry I don't have a link, but believe I heard Sony had the lightest of laptops, while they are known to produce very good quality laptops.

If you are paying out of your own pocket, fieldwork requires a basic tough laptop, although if buying new, do get accidental insurance, as damp conditions, have been known to destroy a laptop.

Yes, that's the sort of thing.
