| 497743 | 2006-11-12 04:09:00 | BTW, if you intend to do any heavy duty graphics, such as video editing or very large TIFFs, you may be disappointed with a budget laptop. | Strommer (42) | ||
| 497744 | 2006-11-12 04:17:00 | From your DSE page: Compaq Presario v3142AU Notebook Nvidia GeForce Go 6150 graphics Those here on PF1 who are knowledgeable about graphic cards should be able to tell you if this is worthwhile - it does seem good compared to the others on that page. |

| 497745 | 2006-11-12 04:45:00 | Thanks Steve, I just finished do a comparison and the Compaq v3142AU came out on top...but looking at the website I saw that it is out of stock! So back to the drawing board...looks like the next best option is the ASUS A8M - what do you think? | JMoore (9352) | ||
| 497746 | 2006-11-12 04:45:00 | All I can say is DELL, and Lenovo Core 2 processors notebooks price dropped like hell. Luckily I havn't bought it yet. DELL is the cheapest now. |

| 497747 | 2006-11-12 04:55:00 | I thought DELL's prices had gone up...I was looking at the Inspiron 6400 a couple of weeks and the price seems to have gone up a couple of hundred dollars since then with no hardware upgrade. | JMoore (9352) | ||
| 497748 | 2006-11-12 05:06:00 | I thought DELL's prices had gone up...I was looking at the Inspiron 6400 a couple of weeks and the price seems to have gone up a couple of hundred dollars since then with no hardware upgrade.? Sorry. I thought I saw in the paper today showing Inspiron around $1500 with Core 2 processor 512MB etc. | PedalSlammer (8511) | ||
| 497749 | 2006-11-12 05:59:00 | JMoore, have a look: www1.ap.dell.com 1 Gb RAM, duo core, on your budget or a bit more if you do upgrades. |

| 497750 | 2006-11-12 06:21:00 | Thanks for all your input but I have just ordered the Compaq v3142AU off another website for $1200 which I think is a great deal. Seems like a decent laptop and is one of the smallest/lightest in the price bracket. Would just like to thank you all for your suggestions and recommendations :) |
