Think it's time to finally upgrade my Dell Inspiron 2200, must be at least 5 years old, and out of my massive 30gb HD I only have .... 198mb free :horrified - but to be fair I've had no hardware problems with it and everything still works great, been a good laptop

Anyway, budget around 1k. Just the basic; movies, music, web etc, no gaming.

What sites to buy from? And best Asus for 1k?

Probably been asked a million times, but I haven't been shopping for a laptop in 5 years :thumbs:

857394 2010-02-11 22:14:00 You're not going to get much of an Asus for a grand - maybe a nice EeePC, or maybe a older model that Hardly Normal or Noel Lemmings are trying to get rid of.

Can you extend your budget to $1500?

857395 2010-02-11 22:31:00 Budget 1200 max. I remember seeing some nice Asus's at HN a while back for around 1k, might've been older models though, not sure. Don't really need a $1500 laptop. --Wolf-- (128)

That looks a good deal! Higher spec'd than my Asus from about a year ago, and 300 bucks cheaper.
