Hi all - one or two for the techies among us;
I am currently using a Tosh Tecra laptop that I have to return in a few months.
For reasons I will not bore you with here I think a laptop is necessary for my purposes rather than a desktop ... for now and the forseeable at least !
My questions are; please !
1. Having searched the various forae here I am still undecided what laptop to go for... :shrug: doh I know !
a. For working/travelling purposes I need to have XP Professional and full MS Office suite and wireless and, preferably Bluetooth connectivity .
b. For own use I need, obviously speed, capability and storage for photography and wireless broadband internet access.
c. Budget = I don't really want to afford more than around £800 or so ?
2. Once I have my new toy I will need to transfer all files and stuff, including set-up/formats (?) from this one to the new kit;
a. What/how is the best way to go about this please ?
3. After all of the above I feel it my duty to wipe the slate completely clean
a. Is this easy in terms of wiping out everything on the Tosh ?
I hope you can/will be able to offer advice and pointers in resolving these few quandaries and thank you all in advance for both reading and, where you do for helping in any way no matter how small.
Finally, Site Staff - as technically our 'puters are accessories to our hobby/profession I have posted in C, L & A but if this is not correct please feel free to move me on ! :shrug:
Many thanx for any help/advice you can offer !
