Laptop Recommendations? $2500 - GoFuckYourself.com

Toonlogos · 02-24-2005, 11:17 PM

Which laptop do you recommend for a $2500 budget? Needs to look good and weight light. Not for games, only for light stuff, word processing emails DVD watching etc.

Young · 02-24-2005, 11:18 PM

If you want to spend $2500 you mind as well go all out. As you can get a fully loaded laptop around $1,400. You can go fully loaded and light for about $2,100. Sorry I don't have the time to help more.

good luck.

would have said to get a new sager but they are more heavy then what you will want. Maybe look into the Sony models?

Which models are fully loaded and light?

I am no dell fan. But when it comes to high end laptops, the Dell XPS Laptop is the best. Hands down.

Close second is the Alienware laptop (I'n not an alienware fan either..)

Both within your budget.

Edit: Fully loaded and light are rather contradictory.

Thanks, these look good.

yellowmenace · 02-25-2005, 12:15 AM

are you looking for size or performance?

I've always wanted to get a smaller laptop but my need for image and video work always prevents me from getting it.

Toonlogos · 02-25-2005, 12:26 AM

Looking for best performance in a light (3-4 pounds) laptop.

I traded my Powerbook G4, 17" with 1.5GB of RAM

for a Dell 17"

Its simply 5X the laptop, i hated the mac.

Muff · 02-25-2005, 12:34 AM

I have the XPS Desktop and if the Laptop is anything comparible it would be well worth it.

if you have this budget then why not get a MAC??

KorayIsSexy · 02-25-2005, 03:54 AM

Because Mac Laptops are balls really. And I am really biased towards PC, but, still.. I find mac laptops to never last long, to scratch easily, to heat up very quickly, and they arent very powerful at all. I mean, the only people that buy them anymore are trendy coffee shop twenty somethings.

Wow. I feel lame saying that.. as I am only 17 ;o

Brujah · 02-25-2005, 03:55 AM

Dell Inspiron 700m, with $500 or 15%+ off coupon. Great deal, good system for light use. Amazing quality screen.

adamneve · 02-25-2005, 04:05 AM

not bad, i might get one as well

reynold · 02-25-2005, 04:06 AM

Anything from Dell would be great.

gyrostastegood · 02-25-2005, 04:48 AM

IBM, IBM, IBM, IBM

did I mention, IBM?

IBM makes the BEST light-weight business-class notebooks, period. 3yr standard warranty on high-end models.

KorayIsSexy · 02-25-2005, 04:53 AM

I would agree there. For buisness class its the best way to go. And you can get one for well under 2500.

Lykos · 02-25-2005, 04:57 AM

The Panasonic R3 and T2 are slightly over your budget ($2800-$3000) but very lightweight and powerful

I agree if you need a kickass laptop that can handle being bounced around and yet still work like a dream. I would never buy any other laptop, i even edit on my thinkpad
