421764 2006-01-17 01:14:00 Am thinking of buying a laptop in a reasonable price range (<1000) .Do I have a choice other than trademe ?? :help: newuser (9635)
421765 2006-01-17 01:17:00 Look for a new one. There are usually quite a few around the $1000 mark. As the fashions changes, the last few of a model are usually marked down. Try Disk Smith Electronics, and other retailers. Especially with laptops, guarantees are worth having. ;) Graham L (2)
421766 2006-01-17 01:26:00 There are always (non trademe, reali life) auctions too if you don't want to buy a new one.

Also, Dell have an Inspiron 1300 on their site for NZ$1198 (www1.ap.dell.com) if you don't mind paying a little extra - though you get a warranty and some support, which is important. I don't think thats a bad price for a widescreen laptop, either, though I have no opinions on Dell themselves as I have never owned one.

421769 2006-01-19 04:54:00 Before anyone commented, some one should have asked him what he plans to use this laptop for.

If its a bit of MS Office and browsing then $1000-1500 mark will be fine.

If its even "Some" mid ranged gaming as well then the notbooks listed above won't cut the mustard with those pussy IGPU's.
