Re: Laptop Wars!
I got my laptop for $1,150
- 512MB RAM - 80GB HDD - 15.4" WXVGA +BrightView - AMD 64 Athlon 3200+ - CD-R/RW DVD - 1.5 - 2.5 Hours Battery Life It's more of a desktop replacement. It runs fast until I run Photoshop and Zend Studio at the same time... then it chugs. |

Re: Laptop Wars!
Is there honestly that much of a noticable difference in a 15inch and 14inch laptop LCD? I use a 17inch on my desk, so regardless, I'm gonna have to get used to a smaller screen. A 17inch laptop screen isn't portable in my eyes. Currently, I'm looking at similarly configured HP laptops for about $1000 (1.6 Ghz Centrino, 512 MB RAM, 60-80GB Hdds, Wireless). I'm personally not worried about top notch graphics becuase a laptop just wasn't built for gaming
If I want to play Call of Duty or something, I can just go into the other rooom and use my desktop (3.4 Ghz HT) ![]() |

Re: Laptop Wars!
yeah to add on i do have a serial port as well( wouldn't get a computer without one) and i have a 14.1 inch widescreen LCD. AS well as the computer being only 5.1 lbs and being 13" x 9.9" x 1.3". Anyways I do not like HPcomputers at all and have had way to many of their machines crash and burn after about a year to two years. I also don't like AMD so much for the same reasons. Anyways if you want a great laptop check into the medion laptops.

Re: Laptop Wars!
Dell has added serial ports back on all there Latitude laptops. Who wants another serial usb adapter to carry around. We to have a serial port on all the laptops we buy to support programming PLC's and assembly line equipment. I think this is why dell has brought them back.
What does everyone think about durability. From my experience Dell is the best and there costumer support is great. I once had a Toshiba laptop that I had to take apart every month and re-seat all the connectors to keep it working. I know most laptops are better then that now. Also battery life is also another issue I have had. Allot of times the battery's get a year old and stop working. |
