Computer illiterate need help....


OK, so I am thinking I might have to go back on the road as a Long Haul truck driver. I want to buy a laptop if I do.

What do i need? Just to check e-mail, forums, websites, and yahoo messenger...

Also who knows anything about wifi and what i will need to get it setup as I know most truck stops have this.

Re: Computer illiterate need help....


I'm a fan of Lenovo Laptops (also known as IBMs)

They're catered to business people, but I like that added security like the fingerprint scanner to unlock the laptop, as well as the very simple design and structure.

You won't need too much of anything if you're just browsing the internet, checking mail, etc...
I'd say don't get Vista (as it will run well on 2+ gigs of Ram, you can stay around a gig with no problem)

You could try the iPhone, it seems right for what you want to do

Otherwise, you'd want something that's not to heavy, Dells are pretty good.

You could also look for 3G Data plans, most of them will get you get broadband in most spots without having to worry about WiFi hotspots.
