I had this problem and asked an expert who works for Microsoft. his reply was they are all much alike, but study the keyboards and get one with big enough keys to prevent you from hitting several at once. Mine is for sale now I have left my boat if you are interested, contact me on arethusa_lad@yahoo ,co,uk and we can haggle about it. I'm now using a full sized computer and the laptop sits idle waiting for the right person to snatch it up
(Hope I'm not breaking any rules by trying to sell here. If I am. then all I can say is Sorry!)....................... Don.

Just start off with a basic model like the Dell Inspiron B130. It can do just about all a novice can demand of it. Cost is about $500.See them at dell.com

think about the small sony t series. It may have a small screen but it is very easy to work with. I use the sony s series and they are very good.
the weight is also important 3Kg is just too heavy.
2 kg is really good.
good luck

Try the "Alienware Aurora m9700 HiPerf laptop". Its the ultimate I've seen so far.
