    I'm looking for a few extra things from a new laptop.

    Either have built in, or extension slots for
    2 ethernet ports (100 meg)
    2 wireless cards (at least one supporting injection)
    Ideally anyway, I could probably consider going without them.


    Ram:around 2 gigs+
    Hard drive - around 100-200 gigs+ or none (can just put my own in)
    Graphics: I'm really not up to date with these cards but i'd like to view 1080p videos without lagging so need hardware acceleration.

    Rather counter intuitive considering the above but i also would really like someone that lasts more than 2 hours.
    No operating system required

    Any suggestions? At the moment i'm just flicking through

    I have never come across a laptop with more than one wireless card installed, although you may be able to find one with a second mini PCIe slot available.

    What kind of budget are you thinking of? And i presume you're looking for something semi portable? As in not something that's 17"?

    Na sure weight/size isn't really a big deal. I would actually prefer something with a larger screen. I don't really have anything in mind for the budget tbh. I'd say 1k is around the top.

    You can always attach a USB Wireless N drive to the laptop, although I have never actually tried to setup a bridge using that method before. No reason it shouldnt work though to my knowledge.
