Re: buying new laptops

How cheap is cheap?

My personal recommendation for (what sounds like) an all-purpose mobile system is the Lenovo T61 or Dell D630. They both come out around $1300-1500 for a respectable configuration (2.0GHz, 1GB, 100GB, WiFi ABGN, Bluetooth, 1400x900, DVD-RW, extended battery). Also, if you're a college or HS student you can get a student discount which will knock it down to around $1200-1400.

The T61 also has a faster nVidia graphics option if you plan on doing a lot of Pro/E or 3dsMax and what not.
