325854 2005-02-17 09:20:00 ok, what are you going to be using it for? have you compared this laptop to any other laptops? shop around so you can compare specs and prices Prescott (11)
325855 2005-02-17 09:21:00 also what is your budget, you could get something better if you wish Prescott (11)
325856 2005-02-17 09:32:00 I have had a look around, i don’t really want to pay more than $2,000, i will not do anything intensely with graphics more or less just simple internet, music ect.. Although this could change so i want it a little versatile . The main difference i see between the laptops is the CPU.
Intel Celeron-M 330 (1.4GHz), Mobile AMD Athlon XP-M 2400+ CPU, Intel® Celeron® M processor 1.5GHz CPU. I am not really sure how each CPU compares and the differences?

Cheers!

325857 2005-02-17 10:50:00 Have you had a look on Pricespy.co.nz for a bargain? Chilling_Silence (9)
325858 2005-02-17 11:01:00 I would look into Acer brand laptops, nice low prices, sometimes better specs, you're quite limited to what you want. DSE have good prices on these but check Price Spy out, that would help too.

Just make sure size of it and weight isn't too bad. As you'll be the one carrying it around.

325859 2005-02-17 22:31:00 How important is battery life? on the one i was looking at it has a min of 4 hrs and other laptops had only 2hrs for some of them! I want to be able to use the thing for longer than 2 hrs without charging so that becomes a factor!

Cheers!
