Quest for the Laptop
Well basically, I need a new laptop for class. My budget is up to $1700Canadian (taxes not included). Good ole RESPs.
What system would you suggest? I’m looking for powerful systems with a good battery life (3.5 hours min) of hopefully 6 hours. I don’t want a Celeron based system but I’d be happy with any of your suggestions.
Right now I’m looking at some Toshiba’s and their ‘M’ models look quite appealing but other brands like Acer, Asus, Dell, etc. would probably do fine too.
What I’m looking for:
- 1.7ghz+ processor
- wifi as well as a lan port (don’t really need the lan port)
- must have a dvd burner
- battery life of at least 3.5 hours
- 512mb ram
- 60gb minimum hdd (hoping for 100gb but okay with 80gb)
- a video card (intel integrated might do okay)
- soundcard doesn’t have to be great (integrated might also do okay)
- minimum 15.4″ screen
- don’t need a diskette drive
- windows xp home or pro (don’t need windows media centre)
Post the model numbers if you’ve got them too please! (eg Toshiba M70)
Any suggestions would be appreciated, I’m hoping to get one before January.
Thanks for reading guys!
I have to my my obligatory mac buzz. I know you list that you want windows, and if you’re going to be gaming on it then fine. If you’re not going to game on it (or if you can stand to wait the couple of months it takes ports to arrive) you should really check out 15″ or 17″ powerbooks. They meet all of your other specs: http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/canadastore.woa/72708/wo/Bl6yIiUiho9A3UxAUsA10uGfsXP/0.SLID?nclm=PowerBook&mco=86E0F5EE
Other than that I can’t help much
