Looking for a laptop.....

Looking for a laptop.....
12:58:27 Jan 5th 08 - Mr. Architect: Ok, so I'm looking for a new laptop. I have been searching for a couple weeks now and have found a few options, but I'm hoping there is some place to go to find it cheaper and/or better built that I just don't know of and/or can't find. So, I'm asking if anyone would be willing to try and help me with this feat. I need the computer to resemble something around these specs: -2 Gigahertz processor (1.5Ghz = minimum, High bus = Good) -2 Gigs Memory, RAM, at least (I am not really interested in anything lower...) -Dedicated Graphics card, a decent one, does not have to be great... But I would not mind a good one for a bit of gaming -Hard drive of at least 80 Gigs (Faster = Better) -17 inch High Definition wide screen (15.4 = minimum, non glossy) -CD/DVD burner is needed Price: $1,100 U.S. or less. Preferably less.
13:14:34 Jan 5th 08 - Sir Revenge: Try Acer
13:17:23 Jan 5th 08 - Mr. Architect: I'm looking for specific laptop deals, with a price and a web page attached rather than more stuff to search for.
13:45:01 Jan 5th 08 - Lord Seloc: Don't go Dell. Thats the only advice I can give.
13:46:29 Jan 5th 08 - Mr. Architect: Any specific reason why not?
13:51:20 Jan 5th 08 - Lord Seloc: A couple, mu bro bought a Dell laptop recently, about a week after he bought it, it started randomly shuting down, he sent it back and got a replacement. That one started randomly turning off too I believe, not sure what he did after that, but he currently has a working laptop. Also I am siting in front of a Dell desktop, it's old, and dell have made it so it can't be customised or upgraded in anyway whatsoever. So therefore if I buy something I perpously try to advoid(bad spelling) Dell and look for someone else, so therefore as a fellow visual utoppian I am giving you some advice from my bad experiences. Insidently never punch a violent drunk, even if they're sober.

16:08:30 Jan 5th 08 - Sir Revenge: Intel Centrino Duo Core 2 Duo T5200 1.73GHz - 17" WXGA+ - 2GB DDR2 SDRAM - 160GB - DVD-Writer (DVD-RAM/±R/±RW) - Wi-Fi, Fast Ethernet - Windows Vista Home Premium - Onyx Blue Metallic It looks fantastic apart from that part, well done Spoon ^^ 929$
05:31:03 Jan 6th 08 - Mr. Architect: Ahh, yes, nice find! I shall add it to my list. And yeah, if you can find XP, it is definitely preferred, but I know it is difficult now, so I'll probably have to put up with Vista...
07:18:12 Jan 6th 08 - Mr. Gunblademan: HP Pavillion with AMD Turion 64 X2 @2 GHz, 15.4"LCD, 2 GB RAM, 250 GB hard disk, 1GB Video Memory (geez, 1 GB!!!! ), has algo gigabit ethernet. Comes with Vista Home Premium. only $999.99 http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=8669639&type=product&id=1196470766892 If I had the money, I'd buy it as soon as it is avaiable :p btw, it's going to be almost impossible to find a computer with windows XP nowadays, your best hope is to enter the manufacturer page and customize your computer.
08:16:06 Jan 6th 08 - Mr. Twinkie: Could try Gateway
12:29:02 Jan 6th 08 - Lord Clone IX: I managed to get a pc with no windows on it, which allowed me to install XP. My parents have Vista, so I know both. All I can tell you is that you should really really really try to get XP :)
00:41:20 Jan 7th 08 - Mr. The Gladiator: Hey buddy, there's a pretty new thing now, intel quad core, It's like either 40% faster with same energy consumption or 60% less energy consumption with same speed than previous generation intel core 2. Too bad when i bought my laptop 3 months ago there wasnt that. I say wait for it like 1 month or so for quad core to come out in stores and be the new industry standard in desktops and notebooks, then either buy a quad core notebook or buy today's notebooks in 1 month and it will be muc cheaper. Also a new version of windows xp will come out this year (supposed to be mid-late 2007 but its been pushed back to 2008). Also dunno how windows xp 3 will be because microsoft operating system updates seem to go worst and worst. Well if i were you I'd wait for intel quad core a bit and windows xp 3 probably ;)
00:54:07 Jan 7th 08 - Mr. Architect: Wow, good to know. I think I may just put it off for a bit then. Thanks for the info.
01:02:53 Jan 7th 08 - Mr. The Gladiator: Yeah np ur welcome, and come in my kd next era i saved you real life money!
08:28:22 Jan 7th 08 - Mr. Architect: =P You'd have to talk Stormy into letting me leave, he's kinda got me chained in his moms basement forcing me to play VU 24/7 for Carnage at the moment. I would very much appreciate my freedom, can you save me? Please! Save me!!!! What Kingdom are you in anyways?
