Re: Buying a new laptop

I've got a Compaq which was given to me. I truly appreciate the gift. But next one I buy won't be HP/Compaq. Besides the bloatware, the support IMHO is below average, and the quality is meh. I'd agree with Alex up there and get a Dell. They've gotten suprisingly better in quality, service, and choices.

As for the cores, I'm not exactly sure. I never really thought about that before. But I've got a dual-core AMD Turion at 1.60Ghz, 2 Gigs, generic ATI graphics and I'm playing Battlefield 2 on Medium and OK render times for Blender.
