I need a laptop with a bigger screen and want to move from 14" to 15.6"
(seems to be a standard size). BUT I don't want a separate numeric keypad
as this makes the keys smaller so I struggle to see them and puts them in
odd places so I can't find them.

It's used to run RDP to my main machine so is really just a remote control
but I have got to the stage where I need a bigger screen and keyboard :-(

Any suggestions much appreciated, happy with used/refurbished.

I have a toshiba Satellite L500 19x for sale, any interest?

Its a T4300 processor, 4GB ram, originally came with a 5500 GB HDD which
has since been replaced with a 120GB SSD.. It has a 15.6 inch HBT screen

Had windows 7 on it, but could easily be swapped for linux.

It does have a numeric keypad on it though, but this is a fairly big
laptop so the numeric keypad may not be such an issue?

You dont need a numeric keypad to make the keys smaller.

I recently parted company with a HP laptop which had a 17 inch screen,
and keys which were too small - theres just acres of blank space, some
of which is filled with the stupid mouse pad thingy :-\

Budget?

16" Macbook Pros are great machines.

Many thanks for the replies :-)

I have gone for a used Dell M6800 (from Morgan Computers) as the extra
size gives me a keyboard of the size I am used to ignoring the number pad.

As a bonus it will keep my trousers pressed and both my knees and
testicles warm!

Thanks again.

The true meaning of life is to plant trees under whose shade you do not
