Okay i am looking on BestBuy.com right now (link has the page im on right now) and i am looking at the Dell Laptop that it shows on the page. I am thinking these to myself right now..
Is a 320GB hardrive really good for my iTunes and productivity? Is 5hrs and 20min a long enough battery lifespan? Is a 3GB DDR3 Memory good? yea.. i am sounding pretty basic humanoid..but i dont know that much about laptop specs.. can someone help me out? I want the graphics to be good enough so that way i can watch movies without it freezing every scene.. Oh! and the laptop has to be $500 or less.. |

They have a history of ripping people off with computer parts. Second: It's not all about capacity. Transfer rates, seek times, and RPM is important too. Third: Yes, but usually with battery times that long, you sacrifice performance. Fourth: It's not all about capacity and version. I'll take 2 gigs of DDR3 1066 over 8 gigs of DDR2 400 any day. |
