Need a new Laptop QUICK!
 

budget hmm, lets say $500-$1000.

Not too fussed about games and stuff. Need it more to be lightweight, travel easily.

Most important part is that it has to be quick, quick ram and stuff.

Do you recommend any?

P.S. should I go vista or not for that budget?

don't do Vista, it fucking blows right now.....Vista can be fixed up nice so it works well, but it takes hours of config shit to get it there

I have a Sony Vaio that work like a charm. I recommend it :thumbsup

Have a look at ebay I just bought 2 kick-ass laptops dirt cheap! :)

Try Toshiba.
P.S. Vista - sucks

www.apple.com - might need to get a refurb or used for your price range

in that case www.smalldog.com

Right thanks guys so far, looks as though I should aim for 2nd hand or refurbished for the price range.

as far as the links go jace thanks,but i need it quick and im in england, but I will search for that laptop model on an english refurbishment site.


Cheers for the tips guys, keep them coming too, im gonna spend a couple of hours looking around.

vista is loaded with digital rights management. I'd wait and save more and get a macbook.

I dont want apple, and I cant wait, i need a laptop in the next 5 days or im fucked. but thanks for helping. any more opinions?

www.delloutlet.com i HIGHLY recommend it

Realizing whatever I got is probably going to be destroyed in a year, I opted to get an HP system.

They have pretty decent customizable options (upgrade from 1 to 2 gigs of memory for 50 bucks, nvidia graphics card addition for 79 - 100 bucks, free upgrades to 120 Gig HD (from 80)), and I've always trusted the name.

Problem with not getting Vista is that, in most places, you'll have to pay more for another OS.

Hi

Find something witn Core 2 duo.
Min 1Gb RAM.
XP or Debian

Good luck

Avoid vista at all cost

buy an asus on ebay.

Vista is NOT good on a laptop bro, stay with XP
