Looking to buy a Laptop Any Ideas, Suggestions ?
 

What would you buy , or have that you are happy with? Main application will be the uploading of pics to my server while I am on the road. My main considerations are Speed, good wirerless ability , and battery life. Opinions, success stories ?

anything that ISNT compaq :glugglug

A friend of mine just sold me a brand new, in the box Compaq Presario 2500 for $200. He was clearing out the excess shit in his office and he had never used it.

I love it. Only thing I can complain about with it is the battery life of only 1 1/2 hours.:feels-hot Where the hell do I get a decent battery for this thing???

If you like Macs, I would wholeheartedly suggest the Apple Powerbook G4. Yummy!!

Ill sell you an HP zt3000

look up the specs.

get a toshiba with a 17" display :)

Sony - Z1 series - high quality screen resolution 1400 x 1050 - small compact - and tight design - good for traveling... much smaller than others - yet full featured

Yes thanks for mentioning that one, Size and weight, is important as well. Much as I love to have a 17"widescreen, I have too much shit to lug around already. :winkwink:

toshiba rocks, just got a satellite centrino...

Acer Ferrari......Everything on it is absolutely great....except that the battery life is only about 2.5 hours, but other than that....I love it:thumbsup

You can also get an Emachines. They laptops that they make are a pretty good choice. I have a friend who got one and he is very happy with them. They are also affordable.

Powerbook G4 (12", 15", 17")

Best battery life out there, up to 5 hours
Wireless + Bluetooth
One of the easiest to use

:thumbsup

np - also battery life is excellent - on a plane - with standard battery (almost 4 hours - with brightness turned down) - (although - i have an www.igo.com - so in theory unlimited with power connection on the seat)

and WIFI & BlueTooth - perfect for Bluetooth mouse and other accessories

:thumbsup


You should definitely get an apple powerbook! Best portable ever! I'm really happy with my 15".

Apple Powerbook 17 inch is my choice :glugglug

So You like the centrino ?

One the latest Dell laptops or the Apple powerbook is also a great choice :thumbsup

Sony Vaoi with Centrino and 17' - my choice :)

thinkpad T41

DELL > *

or

the acer ferrari
I love mine

is that available in Canada?

I love my dell centrino 15.4" widescreen

my friend has a powerbook 17" and its awesome too... especially if you like the new macOS (freebsd like)

yep - i LOVE my Dell

i like my HP laptop.

I would also go dell

more then likely, check out acer.com and select your country, I am sure they have someone reselling there

I just got a kickass Sager 8890, but since you travel alot I doubt you would want something that big.

too late, i shipped mine out yesterday

:winkwink:
