| I have a Dell D600 for work that I like a lot, and a 600M I got with in the latest round of $750 off $1499
coupons for my other work that I also like, although it doesn't have the finger mouse pointer thinger, just a touch pad. I would keep an eye on: http://www.techbargains.com/ and http://www.gotapex.com/ for a good deal on a system you think will fulfill your needs. There's a whole legion of internet dorks obsessed with spending the absolute minimum they can on electronics they don't need. Let them work for you. I'd advise a couple things: - Dell/HP/Etc generally charge a lot more for memory upgrades than the market. A lot of times it's signigicantly cheaper to just keep the 1 dimm 256M chip they have and then buy a 512 or 1g (or whatever you need) dimm from crucial.com or some other reliable memory company. It's really easy to put in a second dimm (some notebooks make replacing the other slot a biatch though). - If you're planning on gaming at all, get a Pentium M in the 1.6ish range and make sure the chipset is at least ATI radeon 9xxx based. The X300 is better. Integrated graphics will have a hard time running a lot of things. Pre |
