Laptop advice

[hairyben]

Have used desktops ever since, but fancy one of these instead this time, don't really use it for much beyond browsing/emailing/word processing these days, so performance isn't critical and battery life doesn't have to be class leading, but something tough, reliable with a good screen, with brightness suitable for outdoors would be nice.

Looking at a toshiba satellite C75, anything else I should consider instead?

Thanks.

something like this would be a good bet? Are SSD's that much better? Can't see much in the way of laptops that come with them

I see dell have the same kind of thing for the same kind of money, is there much between them, are screens all much-of-a-muchness or are there some inherently better, and better for using outdoors?

The tosh was rated as having a particularly bright screen in a review but I can't see much in the way of reviews for the others and it seems a minefield (same machines having multiple model numbers?)

Thanks for the input... I'm thinking someone like http://www.pcspecialist.co.uk will build the laptop to my spec with an SSD rather than buying the acer then ripping it open and binning a part I've just paid for... would this make more sense or is something like an acer a bit better finished/slicker than a small builder?

And is office worth paying the £90~ for? I know there's free alternative and I'm open to other suggestions but want it as hassle free as can be.
