| 387556 | 2005-09-11 00:52:00 | i just brought me a laptop yesterday, i got a toshiba centrino 1.6ghz and it got a free upgrade of ram which brought it up to 1 gig. its also got a dedicated graphics chip, i x600 with 128mb ram i think. it suits my requirements. took me ages to decide on which one i wanted because there are so many to choose from the guy from toshiba i was talking to at the expo said a 1.6ghz centrino is about as fast as a 3ghz p4, and a 1.8ghz centrino is about as fast as a 3.4ghz p4. my battery life is pretty good actually, i have quite a few "profiles" which adjust the laptops power requirements so it lasts longer. |

If you are on a forum, you prob have a interest in computing right? I would get a Notebook for travel related for work. If I travel and need a to store photos or music I would get those portable HDDs with LCDs. If I travel to uni or what, I would still get a PC. You don't travel v freq and most times its just gonna sit on your desk. You can store the PC at the same way as how you store your furniture etc... over the breaks.. Maybe take the case back, left the rest there... If you must be a geek on the go, get a PDA then ;) |
