I do some work for an all-Mac office. Recently, because of field work they do, and compatibility issues with some software they've just bought, they've decided they want to get a Windows-based laptop.
The only requirements are that:
a) it can run XP
b) it can network happily enough with their Jaguar macs
c) it costs around $3000 Australian dollars ($1750 US or thereabouts).
I was wondering if who uses both could give me an idea of what will work best in this situation? What brands are good?
It needs to be pretty simple (not a custom build or anything!) as I'm going to have to maintain it, and it's been a long time since I've even spent time alone in a room with a PC, let alone looked after one.
