[comp.sys.laptops] recommendations for an ibm novice

mbharrin@sdcc13.ucsd.edu (Matthew Harrington) (10/09/90)

Hello,

I am currently using a Mac SE with 2.5 Mb RAM and want
to sell it for a laptop, since I move around a lot,
and like to study/word process outside of my dorm room.
I have no experience with laptops, and the Mac portable
is too expensive, so I'd like to switch over to IBM.

Can anyone make a recommendation?  What are the
disadvantages of using a laptop in place of a larger
macine?  I need a hard drive, a fair amount of RAM,
and something that I can get for about the price
that I can sell my Mac for.  The only laptops
that I've heard of are Toshiba, Leading Edge,
Sharp.  Any (I mean anything!) help will be
greatly appreciated.  

Thanks,

Matt H.
