I Wanna Buy A Laptop Comp--Need Help

[novamanms]

I'm happy with my Dell.

The most highly regarded are the IBMs...but you have to sell your soul to afford one.

You need a desktop replacement, an ultra-thin? What are you looking for out of it, Stick?

The current "$549" deal Dell's pushing in the Sunday magazine section is for a Celeron, which is entry-level stuff. Better than nothing, but not exciting.

My opinion is that a notebook is about being portable -- if you're somewhere on business and they loan you a desk, carry one of those 4GB pocket drives and you should be able to borrow the desktop's PC as well.

So, why a notebook, specifically?

Bran had a long thread on here a while back covering his woes with a Dell laptop and the lack of any help from Dell. When you buy equipment, you hope not to have any use for customer service but you need to know that you're not going to be left high and dry with a useless box of circuitry.

There's a good point here. SOME Dell laptops are great. Others, not so hot.

Gotta do your research and be picky.

Someone needs to make a list for Charles Bronson, Charlton Heston, or Clint Eastwood. Those would be fun.

Is it realistic to think I can get a good one for $500-$700??

In my line of work I know that you get what you pay for but that's in exercise equipment. Is it the same in computers??

What should I look at?

PM me i got one for sale for around the $400 range with docking bay wireless card carry and more............penIII
