I want to buy a (used?) laptop computer for out in my shop. I have never owned a laptop b4 and rarely touched one so I have almost zero experience with them.
My preference is to use WinXP and also install Linux Mint down the road.
My eyes are a factor too, so I'd prefer a nice large screen. I also need WiFi, USB, and at least a CD drive.
There are a few cheap machines to be had online, but as stated, I'm not sure about track records, quality, reviews, etc...
Any input on brands or features to make sure I look at, or which to avoid would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Wolf
