iamme Posted August 24 Report Share Posted August 24 Dell Inspiron 1150(four months old)p4 2.6ghzupgraded to 15" monitor w/ higher res30gb hard drivedvdr combo drive256mb dramim basing it on these specs. - you could get a better laptop from Dell, NEW, with a 1-2 yr warranty for about this price (maybe $100 more). example--> http://www.slickdeals.net/forums/showthread.php?t=31264&highlight=600m (from a deal site...the deal is now expired)...just got to be on the lookout-p4's in laptops suck. they get too hot, kill the battery, and just end slowing down the machine. drains way too much juice. its all about centrino. Look for Intel Pentium M not P4-M...there is a significant difference)-this laptop is heavy and bulky, centrino's are 3-4 lbs lighter.-the 30GB/dvdr/256mb ram is standard in any purchase at this point, so nothing to be happy about there.-if you are not in a hurry id say WAIT...if u like DELL look for deals on the 600m (slimmer, lighter, and has centrino technology)-if you want better quality go IBM or Toshiba - more expensive though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iamme Posted August 24 Report Share Posted August 24 i'm still debating between a vaio and an ibook yeah, sony vaio is just a tad lesser than IBM & Toshiba, but a good choice nonetheless (better than dell, compaq, HP, etc)dont know anything about ibooks, thats all u Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
