Buy an ASUS.

830863 2009-11-17 04:31:00 Most probably comes with an OS, unless you can ask / tell somehow to wipe it (which I dont think they will). You may as well get a netbook, if you want cheap. But it may not have as many features as a laptop / notebook Speedy Gonzales (78)
830864 2009-11-17 04:48:00 entry level it probaly doesnt matter to much what you get, i mean acer comes with a good enough warranty and they're cheap as chips hueybot3000 (3646)

830866 2009-11-17 07:05:00 Are you a University student studying something to do with computer science by any chance? If you are, your University has probably subscribed to MSDN, in which you can download and use Windows XP and above for free.

What's your budget? Are we talking about netbook or proper laptop here?

Any gaming requirements here?

I think Asus PRO59LE-2 Notebook on Dick Smith website may suit your needs.

Cheers :)
