I purchased a laptop recently and both Toshiba and IBM came highly recommended. I ended up getting a Toshiba Satellite M40... similar specs to yours with a couple of extras like bluetooth, wired ethernet, 802.11a/b/g wifi, and a multi-drive including dual layer and DVD-RAM capability.

The bloody thing is already popping up system errors at startup.

Shagpipe · 05-06-2005, 01:18 AM

a vote for the Toshiba as well.

spideriux · 05-06-2005, 01:13 PM

Toshiba very good !!!

Tim · 05-06-2005, 01:19 PM

Sony Vaio maybe.

My first laptop was an toshiba satellite and that served me very well for a long time. Looks like a masonry block now though.

Veterans Day · 05-06-2005, 01:21 PM

Just got my Inspiron 6000

1.86 Centrino
80gig drive 5400rpm
512 ram
15.4 screen
internal wireless b/g
128mb radeon card
blah blah

980 shipped

Cant beat it

who · 05-06-2005, 01:24 PM

I suggest you don't get a pentium 4. Look at how heavy the thing is, plus it gets wayyyyy too hot

beta-tester · 05-06-2005, 01:24 PM

That's very very good laptop for that price. Where did you find it ??

tony286 · 05-06-2005, 01:28 PM

doesnt look bad but I think for that type of money you could do better. I love my gateway

Also true. I'm told the Pentium M addresses this issue.

onlyreal · 05-06-2005, 01:31 PM

Not bad, I got a similar config for $700.

I would recommend getting a 7200rpm HD, you'll notice the difference.

I heard the manufacturer is/was way behind thats why 7200rpm isnt/wasnt available. Either way this 6000 rocks. Centrino is the only way to go right now

tornell · 05-06-2005, 03:05 PM

I have Acer Aspire 1700 .. I love this notebook

eamedia · 05-06-2005, 03:14 PM

my toshiba sattelite is in the best buy warranty hell hole.....
i will be getting a dell nextime....
my dvdr is dead and my hard drive is mia...
although while it was working it was a powerhouse... HT P4

SinisterStudios · 05-06-2005, 04:31 PM

When it comes to laptops there really is only 1 choice, IBM t series thinkpads. If you are in need of a serious laptop thats your choice. And if your interested in 1 let me know i get wicked discounts at ibm.com being a former employee. I thin they have a t42 special for $1099

JSA Matt · 05-06-2005, 04:36 PM

I would find a decent IBM thinkpad

http · 05-06-2005, 04:42 PM

I second the IBM Thinkpad motion

adonthenet · 05-06-2005, 05:01 PM

this Centrino realy worth it?
and inspiron 6000 worht it?
only 1.6GHz
and whats that wifi?!? lol

justsexxx · 05-06-2005, 05:13 PM

Hi,

I have a toshiba as well, and it rocks.

P4 3.2
1048 mb ram
15.4 inch widescreen
80 gb 7200
dvdrw
RADEON 64MB
54 wifi

I LOVE the widescreen. Keep in mind that P4, and widescreen make the batterly life shorter. I think I can use it around 2-3 hours without power. But I use it mainly at home/hotels anyway.

When you really want to use it without extra power, go for centrino

adonthenet · 05-06-2005, 05:32 PM

thanks guys.
anymore?

gecko · 05-06-2005, 05:35 PM

Get a laptop with a TFT screen. You won't be disapointed

At the very least, do NOT get a P4. Get a Pentium-M or Centrino (=Pentium-M with built in Wifi)

Wifi = Wireless Lan. Even if you don't have WLAN at home, you might want to use it in a hotel, airport, somewhere, sometime

Pentium-M means longer battery life (about 2-4 X longer, not just a little longer), less heat (much easier to keep the notebook on your legs for an hour or two), and virtually NO noise (better for your nerves, remember you sit very close to a notebook)

You can do video encoding on a Pentium-M. A Pentium-M 1.6 equals P4 2.4 or better. Don't be fooled by the low Ghz number, it's a whole different CPU

If you are concerned about speed, get a 7200 rpm drive in your notebook.

adonthenet · 05-06-2005, 05:45 PM

Thanks gecko.. screen is not mather right now ;) i need something good for 1200-1500$

I was wondering about that, my new laptop is a 1.73GHz Pentium-M CPU. That number looks kinda low when you're thinking of current desktops or servers, but I figured they wouldn't be moving backwards.

Is there a comparison table anywhere?

Fucksakes · 05-06-2005, 07:09 PM

I was more happy with my sony viao than my dell, but nothing is better than what i got now.

It's not too bad for the price you pay.

The Inspiron 6000 is built well too, it looks stylish and it's solid (no keyboard creaking like most laptops).

Theo · 05-06-2005, 07:18 PM

centrino 4 sure

ajrocks · 05-06-2005, 09:54 PM

Do not buy a toshiba! I got one 3 months ago, the hard drive and DVD drive just went it took 5 weeks to get it back from support. When I got it back the new DVD drive had a broken door. Now it has to go back again. It is the worst computer I've ever purchased! Don't do it! Go Dell or HP!

austinth · 05-06-2005, 10:35 PM

i have a toshiba laptop and it kicks ass! love that thing and will buy another when i need a new one, which is very soon.

Veterans Day · 05-06-2005, 10:40 PM

Centrino is the only way to go, there is no comparison with an antique, loud, hot, slow pentium 4, do not let the low numbers fool you. Go to the Dell outlet if I were you. I got mine with the 3 year next day in home service

adonthenet · 05-07-2005, 12:49 AM

so Centrino & Pentium M. that what i need to look up for?

05-07-2005, 12:56 AM

my sony vaio VGN-S360 is AMAZING, all my friends are jealous

chupachups · 05-07-2005, 01:01 AM

Whatever you do, dont buy an Acer... buy IBM

adonthenet · 05-07-2005, 01:05 AM

thx bdj and chupa i wont

adonthenet · 05-07-2005, 01:11 AM

the problem with IBM is when i look for one.. look at the price for example :
IBM ThinkPad T42 (UC2F4IM)
Intel Pentium M Processor 745 1.80GHz 400MHz
15" UXGA hahaha1502;hahaha1505;hahaha1498;
ATI FireGL 128MB
1GB (1024mb) DDR
60GB 7200RPM

For "ONLY" 3800$ !

adonthenet · 05-07-2005, 01:14 AM

for 2250$ theres :
IBM ThinkPad T42 (UC2F1IM)
Intel Centrino 1.7GHZ
14" XGA 1024x768
ATI Mobility RADEON 7500 32MB
512MB DDR
40GB
DVDx8+CDRW
Intel 802.11bg
Gigabit LAN 10/100

prices too high for this isnt it?

SGS · 05-07-2005, 01:42 AM

I love my Sony Vaio

flashfreak · 05-07-2005, 02:15 AM

I have a toshiba m35 , centrino @ 1.5GHz , 15.4" (I love wide screen), 512MB and 60GB hdd, it's simply badass.
sharp display, loud speakers for a laptop (harman kardon), also it's thiner than any hp, sony, acer, dell etc for the same money.
now I would get more memory and a better hdd (4400 rpm sucks).
