Right best start with the usual disclaimer about whether or not im in the right forum, as i understand some do get a bit miffed when that happens.

My Battalion is off to the states in figures few and I was thinking of taking advantage of the exchange rate and getting myself a nice shiny new laptop.
However, I know approx f*ck all about
1) Computers (my present laptop runs windows 98 FFS!!!!),
2) The exchange rate (is it any good right now???)
3) Whether or not this is generally a good idea or not.
I understand there are some people in the know kicking around on here and so I ask this.......
Is it a good idea to get a yank laptop- ie will the british software I buy later on in its life work? What type of laptop should I go for? How much roughly am I going to be looking at for a pretty decent one??
Many thanks in advance
