I want to look for a new laptop for my home office. I would appreciate any suggestions, comments on what spec I should use. Only being used for normal business use with Microsoft Office software. Will also need a printer, scanner, fax. Best way to approach this?

Hi, well I would suggest you buying a laptop with a 1.8 Ghz or upper, single core or dural core processor (I recommend you a Dual core procesor), like an AMD turion 64 (or T64 X2), or a Centrino Duo, with 1gb system memory, and 100 Gb HDD. I chose these system specs thinkin' about Windows Vista (All new laptops came with that OS instalation disk) and MS Office 2007, unless you wanna downgrade your OS to Windows XP. But with these system specs you won't have a performance issue with MS Office applications.
I second roll's question: do you have a particular budget in mind for your search? Also, do you plan on carrying it around with you a lot, or will it be more of a desktop replacement? Those specifics will really help narrow the search down.
If the system will have Vista then don't get less than 2 GB memory, else it will be sluggish. I suggest having a look at the Dell Lattitudes. They are available online at the Dell site via their business section. You don't need a corp account to buy via Dell business. I have a page describing Linux on my Lattitude, but the beginning section details how to best purchase from Dell business site, with money saving tips. http://members.cox.net/tonyt/d830
