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. |

QUOTE(ThunderEvermore @ Dec 21 2005, 10:31 AM) Although I have an interest in Linux, and have the "Red Hat Linux Bible", so I can learn a bit. Though with school its probably best to stick with Windows.  In my computer science program, we write software on Sun Solaris, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, and do assembly on MIPS processors, actually. A lot of CS programs don't develop on Windows. |

Im 9 nine months away from school right now anyway, so I wont really know for a while. At this point Im just looking for hardware. |

If you do go with a Windows based PC, you can always do a multiple boot, Windows XP, Red Hat, Sun (Which is usless in my words) but people still use it. Or you could just go with a laptop with no OS installed and do it all yourself. |

Can anybody tell me about HP laptops? Should I steer clear or are they ok? |
