so I'm interested in buying a new laptop. max spending $1300 preferebly, 2.0 GB RAM, at least 2.00 Ghz dual core processor, 15 inch screen. recommendations? what company? I've been looking at HP laptops, but I'm open to options.
IBM/Lenovo has good laptops that you can customize for cheap. A lot of their parts are on sale right now too so you can get good upgrades for a lot less than they normally go for
How do you think of this Sony VAIO VGN-FZ340E/B 15.4" Laptop? I just received it for $1150 for a couple of days. It features 2.0 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo T7250 processor, 250 GB hard drive, 3 GB RAM (4 GB max), dual-layer DVD drive (8x DVD+/-R); Quad-mode Wi-Fi (802.11a/b/g), 10/100 Ethernet, Bluetooth with stereo music streaming, etc. It works fine for me, like it very much.
yes vaios are fricken sweet ive had mine thats exactly what you said for 2 years and its still awesome and really cheap i got it for christmas but it shouldnt be over 1k
When buying laptops, don't worry about how much RAM it includes, as buying extra RAM and installing it yourself is extremely cheap, and as simple as sliding it in.
