Laptop Configuration?

[Josh T™]

Hey Guys!

 

Need to spec out a Laptop for my ever growing, ever changing business. I need something that I can take into a customer's business that will support MC greatly. I've looked at several retail websites but I'll be honest.... I'm lost!

 

If all of the computer geeks out there could lend a brotha a hand I'd appreciate it! Oh yeah.... I've got a $1500 budget.

 

Thanks fellers!

What about this one..... Linky

[jeff]

that one has Intel® HD Graphics 3000.

You want a dedicated video card, and don't want the processor trying to draw the graphics.

The Inspirion series is good for the normal internet user basically.

If you're shopping at Best Buy, have a look at This one for $1200

Did ya think of Solidbox?

 

Did you see his budget?

 

Either one of those laptops I linked SHOULD be fine for you, but then again, i don't know how graphically intensive of work you will want to do with it.

If you want an ultra super powerful laptop, you will want to increase your budget by at least $600 or so.

Laptops are more expensive than desktops unfortunately, as you can get twice the desktop for the same price as any laptop.

Solidbox is popular with people on these forums and I'm sure they are good computers, but in my honest personal opinion they are way overpriced

Whatever one you choose get a laptop with the 17inch monitor. They are worlds better to have than a 15" and you usually get a full 10 key number pad.
