Buying a budget laptop for a photographic club, to use with a projector. Don't need graphics speed, but we do want photographic quality for static images.
Any clues as to which chipsets are good for this, and which to avoid? I suspect that speed comes with a quality trade-off, so might get inferior quality when paying more for speed. Any advice much appreciated.

consider filling out the FAQ.

Yes, looked at the FAQ, but there's not much else of importance. It will be tethethed when used, so battery life doesn't matter. 1024 x 768 is the projector resolution, so that's fine for the laptop LCD. Style immaterial, HDD capacity unimportant, processor speed not critical. LCD quality is secondary, really, it's just the quality of the external graphics screen (projector) connection that is key. Don't want to pay for stuff we can't benefit from, and compromise the one thing that is important.

The lowest, cheapest model will work just fine. Sounds like all you need is something with VGA out - which most if not all laptops come with nowadays. Integrated graphics will work just fine for static 2D images. $400-$500 should get you a nice enough laptop.
Seeking low cost Toshiba with best 2D graphics quality - not speed!
