Battery operation capability is desirable, but not essential. I would like it to be able to connect to a VGA or better screen, when desk-bound, and for its screen to have good quality for standalone use. It should be Windows 3 capable and have hard disk capability (whatever current standard is...perhaps 30M). I anticipate using it at home, at work, and at the cottage, perhaps outside occassionally, but not under extreme environmental conditions. My budget is around $3K, Canadian. I have not ruled out mail order on this, however, because of the investment, I prefer a vendor local to Ottawa, Ontario for support reasons. I would appreciate any recommendations or warnings.
