Connection at home too slow for your pornographic needs? I hear that.

last time I looked at laptops on ebay they were WAY overpriced.

I just bought a HP AMD XP 2200, 256mb ram,40 gig hd,DVD/cd burner,Ati graphics, and a bunch of other shit for $849.00 after rebates.

If you're going to spend that much, you might as well spend a little more and get something top on the line.

I just got a Dell laptop for $1500. I feel like a corporate whore, but hey, it wasn't my money, and now I can leech off my school's bandwidth all the time I'm there and download MP3s and Videos.

See? College is good for something.

I would recommend a reconditioned one from a major supplier on the interent myself. I bought a reconditioned HP and it looked absolutely brand new.

Try for the biggest monitor you can get.

Whate are the biggest moniters? 17"?

I think so. I meant biggest monitor he could easily afford. they tend to have higher resolution as well. 16" would be awesome........just ask AAP.

i have a 17 in. power mac... the screen is huge. You do not need bigger than 15

what do you think of the Sony vaio?

 

[ZKaudio]

The vaio is a great computer, light as shit too... remember you're going to pay a premium for sony components. Their company is based largely on goodwill/reputation. Even though most of their shit is horrid.

The T series in the IBM Thinkpad line is great.

i have a T23 and it just rocks and rocks....

I second IBM. The best laptops hands down... like sony, however, they cost a bit more due to name/affiliation. On your budget, I don't know what's going to be the best option. Check out Ubid.com as well. You might be able to get a new one for the price of a used one. (refurb)
