He goes on vacation every 5 months and would like to bring it along with him. So desktop isn't a choice.

I'm debating to get him a full size 15 laptop OR a netbook hooked up to a bigger LCD (20+").

The reason hooking the netbook up to a bigger lcd is because his eyes aren't as good as he was So a bigger LCD with bigger TEXT is a big plus for him.

Well, what do you guys think?

With a buget of $700 tax incl. (if possible) and under

1. What are my choices on laptops 14 to 15"+?

2. And how about the netbook + LCD hookup ( I'm willing to spend a bit more on this combo, given the LCD is a bit more expensive)

3. I'm in HK right now, i can shop for him here too if it lowers the cost. If not, i'm been away from van for quite some time. What shops do you guys goto now? I use to goto ncix and Skinnypupp

Thanks for all your help
