New ideas on nice laptop and desktops
 

Some of you may know I just had a flood in my basement resulting in some serious damage. What I need to go is get some prices of some decent laptops and submit them to the company and they're going to basicly going to just cut me a check.

I've been looking at a few dell laptops and a few HP's but not sure exactaly what I want. Here is the only two I have priced out from HP:

HP ze4700 series
Price: $1073.00 - $100 mail in rebate = $973.00

AMD Athlon XP-M 2600+ 2GHz
256MB DDR SDRAM
30GB 4200 RPM HD
DVD/CD-RW Combo Drive
54g Integrated Broadcom 802.11 b/g Wireless lan
15.0" TFT XGA Screen
ATI Mobility Radeon

-------------------------------

HP zv5000 series
Price: $1198.00 - $100 mail in rebate = $1098.00
Intel Pentium 4 2.4GHz
256MB DDR SDRam (1 DIMM)
40GB 4200RPM HD
DVD/CD-RW Combo Drive



I really haven't chosen which ones I really like or do not like yet. Going to be looking around for a few days. The price is not really a factor but I want to keep it around or below $1200.

As far as the desktops go, I really have no clue what I want. I could build one but im too lazy and just want to buy one flat out....Any ideas on some nice desktops??? Price around the same for the desktop as the laptop.


:helpme

apple :2 cents:

???

computer manufactures get one chance with me... they fuck up, i dont use them anymore. Dell and HP desktops have both caused serious problems for me.

The Sony RS and RZ series are great... i have the RS 530G loaded with 1.5Ghz of DDR ram and its great. only 1200 bucks. I've also had great experiences with e-machines but only the pentium versions, not the athalons.

Yeah I was looking at some sony desktops and they're priced a little high for what they offer. I'll go check out there site now...

I have an emachines athlon 2300+ (desktop), fried the cpu and ive got like a 1.6 in there now..Did alot to that comp; new video card, sound card, memory, etc...Runs pretty good for the most part for me.

www.overstock.com --> thats the place to shop :)

i'll keep it in mine once i get these checks :Graucho

I love my IBM T40p.
The only downside is mine was crazy expensive & no firewire :(
