Laptop Suggestions?
This has been a thought that has been going through my mind for the past year or so. With the sudden possibility that my current laptop (see my previous thread) going south, I felt that secured it and it was time to get a new laptop.
The question is, what one should I get? Currently, I have a: HP 5600ze Pavlion 2.8 Gig Processor 256 MB of Ram 60 Gigs Hard Drive CD Burner/DVD Combo 17" screen An integrated Video Card with integrated Video Ram From it, I have the following thoughts/feelings: It's fairly fast save for processor-intensive applications. I am thinking that more RAM is needed as I would like to run some more advanced games. It's fairly huge, although I have almost filled it up, and this computer is my SECONDARY computer. I am think that a bigger hard drive could be useful. I dislike the 17" screen because it is so bulky. However, I keep thinking that "The 17" screen is making it heavier. If I get a 15.4" screen, it will be lighter". I would like a DVD Burner/CD burner Combo. I don't care less about dual-sided DVD's, although I am noticing that most burnersare that way, anyway (?). I WANT A BATTERY THAT LASTS MORE THAN TWO HOURS. My current laptop runs for less than two hours, and that's it. I dislike the integrated video card/ram. I had trouble getting SEVERAL games to work such as the Star War series. So yeah, generally, I am looking for a laptop that is: Generally fast. I don't need the fastest thing in the world, but fast enough that I could play, say, Guild Wars, Star Wars KOTR I and II, etc. Enough space to perhaps hold a few games/programs. I am even playing with the idea of having a dual boot into Linux. A DVD Burner/CD Burner Combo A decent amount of Ram A decent video card with a decent amount of video Ram. A battery that lasts longer than two hours (or is that the norm?) The laptop to be durable but not super heavy (if such a combination is possible). I am currently thinking of Circuit City as they have some various deals right now. Here are some links: http://circuitcity.com/ccd/categoryl...d%20quantities In particular as the following possibilities: http://circuitcity.com/ssm/Toshiba-S...oductDetail.do http://circuitcity.com/ssm/HP-Pavili...oductDetail.do http://circuitcity.com/ssm/Acer-Aspi...oductDetail.do (What does widescreen mean? How good is the quality of a widescreen?) If you have other suggestions/deals let me know. |
