lb_vee · 08-24-2004, 10:42 PM

I'd go for a toshiba, the Tecras were the shit back in the day and the satellite(sp?) series are awesome now.

If you're looking for refurbs, checkout Laptop Outlet

Babagirls · 08-24-2004, 10:48 PM

thanks guys

anybody else??? spam awayyyyyyyyy

ProjectNaked · 08-24-2004, 10:53 PM

All Laptops suck....they are hit or miss even with the same brand.
GET THE WARRANTY. (I just bought a BRAND NEW $1500 emachine 3 months ago, w/ AMD64, ATI9600, 512RAM etc...screen is going out

). What's worse, 2nd one, different problem.

Expect them to last about 1-2 years without investing $$$.

brand0n · 08-24-2004, 10:54 PM

you bought an emachine? wow.

thats what i was thinkin.

this one guy at best buy tried to talk me into buying one of those pieces of shit....

he booted it up....it crashed.......rebooted.....didnt work......rebooted.......screen turned all blue......it was rather funny to watch as played with the Vaio a few notebooks down.

PersianKitty · 08-24-2004, 11:20 PM

Last year I bought a Dell Inspiron 8500 2.4Ghz, 15.4" WXGA, 1GB Ram through Dell Outlet. Works like a dream. I use it when I travel. At home it's like a second PC that my kids use.

ProjectNaked · 08-24-2004, 11:28 PM

P.O.S.------------>emachines

O well, got warranty...just hate dumping 50GB of PORN when I take it in!

(makes a great eating tray though.)

I agree with you, apple has really good laptops, a bit expensive, but you pay for quality and performance.

I bought the Dell 8600 a couple of months ago to use as an everyday computer so I can go outside and not have to copy info

I LOVE it! I got a couple of upgrades - upgraded the screen, RAM, got a wireless card, etc.

IIRC, everything was around $1500 but it's probably lower now.

Herb Kornfield · 08-25-2004, 06:55 AM

overstock.com - best deals out there, I have bought laptops from them and had nothing but good experiences.

Basic_man · 08-25-2004, 07:02 AM

My bro bought a laptop from them and it worth it !

I am so convinced by apple's products, I even bought their shares.

Those in the know work with IBM Thinkpads and Apple Powerbooks and nothing else

You'll end up with a Sony though, like all the others around here
