| 431910 | 2006-02-18 20:39:00 | Hi all, My dad is looking to buy a new laptop for some business work. He needs a machine atleast with 1.5GHz, 512 DDR ram, not worried much about video card. Just wondering if its possible to get a 160gig Hard drive installed in a laptop(NOT EXTERNAL USB HDD) ? or can we fit 2 80GIG hard drives in a laptop. Price to spend around $2000 or less. (if possible :) I just want to know which are good brands of laptops around? For example, Ausu, Toshiba, Dell, Acer and so on. I know celeron chip PC were not very good while ago and is it the same situation with laptops as well now? |

The latest netguide says the Toshiba M70 is a good notebook. (about $1600) But the graphics card isnt that great either. And pretty heavy. Intel Celeron 380 1.6 ghz, 512mb ram, 40 gb hdd, 15.4 display dual layer burner, WI-FI. There are others but the Toshiba is the only one with 512mb. The others have 256, except the Dell Inspiron 1300, but the wireless on it is poor/weak. Or an ASUS notebook (dse.resultspage.com 787&site=&w=asus+notebook&submit.x=0&submit.y=0) |

| 431915 | 2006-02-19 04:44:00 | A big glossy Toshiba brochure fell out when I opened my Sunday Star-Times today. It has their newest models, though no prices, I note. Very pretty, yet a once-over-lightly on the technical details, it seems. But what do I know? (From the woman who's just rescued it from her paper rubbish recycle bag, where she tosses stuff she doesn't plan to buy) Ask a Toshiba dealer for one or steal the brochure from your dairy's newspapers. |

Those in the SS-T's glossy brochure were all "Centrino Duo" with dual core processing . The HN selection includes 6 models described as "new," but don't skite about Centrino Duo, so are presumably a different selection . |
