How are those specs for a laptop < 1000 bucks? . I don't need an operating system with it, I have XP --- at home already. I think thats a pretty leet deal for Photoshop, school, music, and lite gaming. Waht about you guys?
its good for 1000. define lite gaming? i doubt it will run a game with more than 15 fps but for photoshop and music and other school related things should be good. if you need it to last for more than a year, i suggest buying some more ram later on. also the hard drive could be bigger but if your low on money now, you can always upgrade later. last thing, if you can, stay away from laptops unless ur ganna need to take it with you DISPLAY LCD: 15.4" WSXGA TFT LCD Display Max: 1680x1050 Pixels CPU: Intel® Core™ 2 Duo Mobile T7200 Dual-Core Processor @ 2.00GHz 667FSB 4MB L2 Cache EM64T MOTHERBOARD: Mobile Intel® 945GM & ICH7-M Chipset Mainboard MEMORY: 1GB PC5300 DDR2-667 SODIMM Memory (Corsair or Major Brand) VIDEO CARD: Built-in Mobility™ Radeon® X1600 256MB PCI-Express X16 Video HARD DRIVE: 80GB 5400RPM SATA150 HARD DRIVE OPTICAL DRIVE: 8X DVD REWRITABLE DRIVE SOUND: BUILT-IN AC 97 SOUND for $1,042 Xplorer X5-5900 Notebook 5% Instant Rebate for order with $999 or more. or u can get the core 2 duo 2.0ghz and it will be 984 bucks
Lite gaming as in CS:S frequently, HL2 once in a while, and Ragnarok Online a bit. I already plan on getting another 1 gig stick of RAM afterwords, and I can get an external hard drive enclosure to put my broken computer's HD into. I really do want a laptop so that I can take it to FGL Club meetings on Fridays at my school to play tournaments against other kids there.
You're better off at Dell, their laptops are great, no fanboyism, just facts. You'll get 2gb, a half decent video card, and a C2D for about the same price.
only go with dell notebooks if your planing on spending more than 1,500 i suggest Xplorer X5-5900 Notebook.. if you custimize it to your needs, it deffinetly be below 1,050.. choose a 2.0ghz processor and everything else that you want.
