PC Laptop advice

[bluegargantua]

Hey,

So my company does a lot of work from home situations. They've got a VPN client to connect you to their network and then you remote desktop to the virtual machine on your at-work server and just work out of that.

I don't have a PC at home and while I suppose I could put a Windows VM on my Mac, I feel like it might be less hassle to just pick up a mid-range PC Laptop and use that (possibly also picking up a flat-screen monitor/keyboard/mouse so it's less laptoppy).

Do people have suggestiosn for a make/model of laptop? Becuase I'm really working out of my machine at work it doesn't have to be a super-beefy machine (although something mid-range would be nice). The big thing for me is that it doesn't come with a ton of crap pre-installed (I'm looking at you HP).

So if you have any suggestions, please toss them my way.

Thanks
Tom

I was gonna say "HP, if you don't mind cleaning out all the shit they put on there."

So. Uh.

I got nothin'.

True, but HP's got nothing on Sony when it comes to preinstalled crap.
