Good laptop for under $1000?
 

Please post links to good laptops under 1k

Used or new?

new :thumbsup

Gonna be difficult

Mainly want it for traveling and surfing the web... some photo editing software as well.

If you want long battery life (three hours = long) then go for some of the middle-end P4M's (stay away from Celeron Ms if you need long battery life!). Also, for a longer battery life, you will ususally have to get a smaller screen. If you don't care about battery life (80-90 minutes or so) then go for the low-end sempron mobiles. The sempron mobiles you can get under $600.00 for a fairly nice laptop:

Acer Laptop - Mobile Sempron 3100+, 512MB Ram, 60GB Hard Drive, 15.4" Screen - $548.99

averatec refurb.. check out pricewatch.com

Come dont be cheap, spend around 1800 and you can get a badass Dell

Averatec 4270

i had a toshiba for 350 bucks =)) and it was non bad for this money
bought on ebay

I paid about $1200 for an HP in December and later that model and it's successsor were going for $799 in Office Depot and a 1 week sale for $599. Not sure if a rebate was involved. For basics as mentioned above (surfing, photo editing, etc.) it is fine. It does have wireless built in.

I need to get something lighter soon, but 1000.00 is a tad cheap. :winkwink: I love my laptop, but when traveling my shoulder hates it lol.

its hard to find a new one that cheap

Dell Insperon.:2 cents:

I bought one for my fiance' to travel with. She loves it, and I must say I'm quite impressed with it as well.:thumbsup

I got a base model Macbook for $1000. I've got it set up to dual boot OSX and WinXP Pro. I've upgraded the memory since getting it and it does everything I need to and more.

Just get a dell for $700
