Im starting school next year and going into a Computer Science program. I do some light Photoshopping with various things, designing my xanga/myspace/livejournal layouts. I want to load my copy of Warcraft III onto it too. I'd like something cost effective, and I dont really want to spend more than 1500, if that much.
Any suggestions on specific notebooks, what components I should concentrate on, or brands I should stick with would be greatly appretiated!! Im not too clueless as to this stuff, but I trust someone here knows of some crazy website where they sell top line notebooks for a dollar and a half. |

They have come nice little workstation notebooks, there expensive though . If you buy small business they are the best on the market, plus there cheaply built like the Compaq or Dell Desktops. My mom has a Dell 600m and its a nice little laptop, has survived many falls, and has the longest battery life I have seen out there. When it is 100% charged it has lasted me about 4 hours. Now as for Compaq, anything Compaq is a bad idea once you touch it... Plus its no longer IBM, its Lenovo. The thinkpad is way to over priced. Like anything made by Lenovo (Or good-ole IBM) IBM is now all about IT, and they do it good. |

QUOTE(uLoVeMikeRoch @ Dec 20 2005, 8:27 PM) Dells have shit customer support. That once again depends on if you buy from the Home Office or Small Business section. We have American support when we call Dell, if we need support. Plus you just have to know the right code to punch in when your on hold to get American support. |
