Today, my trusted SONY Z600NE died a click of no-start
I loved that machine. Has (previously) been very reliable and has gone through an upgrade path of Win98 to Win2000 to Win2K3. The format is, IMO, perfect. Small, light, strong (non-warp non-flexi case) with non-reflective screen with better quality and resolution than most netbooks today.
But now I'm in the middle of the process of trying to recover the data from the HDD. Wow, that Seagate laptop backup device posted the other day would have come in handy if I had it!
So while I try to get my data back, I'm thinking of a replacement. Whaddayathink? I'm looking for a EMAIL CLIENT and a bit of internet, MS Word, MS Excel and PDF. Nothing more.
I'm shortlisted some laptops that I could see myself using. Thoughts?
