Confused again (as usual lol)
Requirement -
1. Least power consumption (not too much worried on the power bill, but more power outages these days )
2. Extreme Portability (traveling 300 KMs every 3 months - have two homes)
4. Main softwares that I am using - XAMPP, DW, All chat clients, Editpad, Filezilla, Firefox and Thunderbird, small multimedia softwares (nothing big or resource hungry), and majority of these are portable apps.
5. Do not need a huge screen, but something like 15/ 16 inch is quite ok.
6. USB ports - need 4 numbers
7. Need to connect to broadband all the time, in built wireless needed.
I am pretty happy with my 3 yr old Thinkpad and Infra helped me a lot by suggesting many things.
(Ref : infra_red_dude causing heavy loss to the hardware industry !!! )
That is working perfectly, I am thinking of an additional one as a backup.
Now which one I should go for ?
Option 1 - Thinkpad (yes another one, so that the old one will get company and it can have some romance ) - One of the things I never regret on buying, but not sure the present ones quality. I guess min of 2 hr battery backup (?). And power consumption low.
Option 2 - Mac mini - Power consumption low, highly portable. Need to carry LCD monitor. Already have one, so not a big problem.
Option 3 - Mac Book - Quite expensive (I agree it worth the $$$ - not sure about the backup time, those who are using it, please give some details)
Please suggest. Also, if there is any alternative option (that is not listed here), please tell me, always open to suggestions.
Thanks a lot - in advance
