I&#x27;d just use the laptop to surf and that I can do on a cellphone.<p>I&#x27;m also very fond of external monitor, mouse and keyboard. The most interesting laptop for me would be one that plugged easy in and out of a dock.<p>That said, 95%+ of the folks here will recommend a modern Apple notebook, due to its excellent battery life, build quality, operating system and good resale value.
