This is the only reason I need a new laptop:
Started off as a couple of dead pixels, and is now slowly but surely spreading from the corner outward.
The laptop is a Sony VGN-FE28B, dual core 1.66Ghz chip, Gig of Ram and a 160 Gig HDD with a 15" screen. It's too slow to run the version of XP that is on it- registry full of crap I think, but runs the latest version of Ubuntu nice and snappily.
So- upgrade will be driven by the screen pretty much.
I cannot make up my mind as to whether something with essentially a netbook specification (which my current laptop has) but with a big screen, or core i7 and 8 gig of RAM is the way forwards.
I know which option is cheaper!
