 Posted: 12/01/05 - 18:50 Post subject: Laptops: Where to go?
|
|
|
Ok... I'm now in the market for a Laptop so I'm looking for suggestions.
I really don't know what I want yet, to tell you the truth. For starters I guess, what's a good resolution to look for?
I don't plan on spending ANY MORE than $1,500 for this thing, so I need something reasonable. like... those 17" laptops are unfortunately out of the question. So... yeah. Lemme know.
Oh yeah, where would you suggest I go to make a laptop? I figure newegg's got a ton of stuff, but is there anywhere that will make one exactly to my spec's?
Thanks.

Actually, that's pretty sweet. I'm looking at this one now, 'cause it's the only thing I've seen on newegg that resembles what I'd like.
I don't want any slower than 2 ghz processer, and those 3.4ghz's sound nice.
How warm does yours run? Is it one of those ones that'll burn your legs 'cause it's so f*****g hot?
