New Laptop: Suggestions!

Sly, I just picked up my first laptop a month ago....

Toshiba Satellite 1900. It was a bit pricey, but it kicks major butt.

**Sly_RJ** · 06-06-2002, 11:06 AM

My last one was $5k, there's no way in hell I'm spending that again. What are the specs on your laptop, Chris?

I've always liked these but I think my next laptop will be a Dell just because they stand behind their products like no other company I have ever purchased from.

I have a Dell Latitude X200 with most options, and more RAM. Its sweet. I got the 8 hour battery and use it with the wireless card built-in.

Highly recommend it.

I'm on my second Dell lap .. This one is a lot lighter.. and it has dual batteries - wireless modem .. 512 RAM .. I can swap a battery pack for the cd drive or the floppy drive.
It's a Dell Inspiron 4100 . .I've had it about 5 or 6 months now I think. Ran me around $3500.
Get a Dell

**Sly_RJ** · 06-06-2002, 12:29 PM

I think I will go with Dell. Thanks for the input guys and gals. Time to break out the good ol' credit card.

**allsops** · 06-06-2002, 01:08 PM

I've got a Dell I8200. I love it, its fast as crap and the screen is beautiful. The only complaint I have is that with 2 batteries in it it'll only last about 4 hours fully charged. Apparently the Geforce4 GO which is in it is a power hog.

I think it's worth it, however, as (like previously mentioned) it can play all the newest games perfectly.

Oh, and it does get pretty hot so if you want a laptop that you can keep on your lap for hours on end you might want to look at a different model. Plus it weighs almost 10 lbs with both batteries in.

**Brujah** · 06-06-2002, 01:12 PM

definitely pickup one of those $15 or $20 lap desks. they're comfortable if you're going to be using the laptop in your lap for awhile.

If you want thin, get a Think Pad or Vaio.

Also if you plan on using it as a desktop (extended hours of use) get one that has a fan that blows out of the base, or it's gona get really hot after a few hours.

Do you have any examples of this?

You can see the vents clearly in that one.

In the back middle of this one you can sort of see the fan.

You could just get a cooling pad however, but it's better if there are vents or a fan that blows out.

Sony Vaio... Top of the notch! Needless to say more!

**NETbilling** · 06-07-2002, 11:47 AM

Hi,

We have a Sony, a Toshiba, a Dell, and a couple of the new Apple Powerbooks. Without a doubt the Apple powerbooks are far better than the rest.

If you are looking for a desk top replacement Dell Inspiron or Latitude is the way to go. Desktops suck big time ;)
