Best trading laptop/palmtop?

Cutten · Oct 20, 2003

I'm interested in traders' opinions & experiences with laptops for trading on the move. I'd be looking for a desktop replacement rather than an ultra-portable type.

Also any info on useful gizmos (e.g. good full-size keyboards, ability to hook up laptop to multiple full-size monitors, wireless internet connectivity etc) would be appreciated.

Have a look at the Acer Desknote with 17" Screen

Or the new Sony with 16" Screen

Make sure you get an Nvidia Geforce Go video card so you can plug in a second monitor and run two screens off it.

WXUGA by Dell provides 1920 x 1200 wow!

forget about the 17" screens on the laptops, not worth it...
