Notebook suggestioins
Hey Guys,
I've been wanting to replace my Compaq Presario 2100 laptop for a bit and would like to do so while I can still get XP as an OS as I despise Vista.
I was looking at a Dell Inspiron 6400 as I want something thats not too big which is why I'm not looking at the 9400 series or the XPS (The XPS is also alot more money).
This is what I was looking at getting:
Inspiron 6400 Dual Core
CPU: Intel® Core™ 2 Duo processor T5600 (2MB Cache/1.83GHz/667MHz FSB)
Operating System: Genuine Windows® XP Professional
LCD Panel: 15.4 inch UltraSharp™ Wide Screen WXGA+ Display with TrueLife™
Memory: 1GB Shared Single Channel DDR2 SDRAM at 533MHZ, 1 DIMM
Video Card: 256MB ATI MOBILITY™ RADEON® X1400 HyperMemory™
Hard Drive: Free 160GB Hard Drive 5400 RPM - $100 Value
Network: Integrated 10/100 Network Card and Modem
Wireless: Intel PRO/Wireless 3945 Internal Wireless
Optical Drive: 8X CD/DVD Burner (DVD+/-RW) with double-layer DVD+R write capability
Sound: Integrated Audio
Batteries: 85 WHr 9-cell Lithium Ion Primary Battery
Warrenty: 1 Year Return to Depot Service and Technical Support
Sub-total: $1,369.00
Shipping: $0.00
GST: $82.14
PST: $109.52
HST: $0.00
Total Price: $1,560.66
Just wanted some ideas, suggestions and maybe someone has some coupon codes or something. Also this will be put on my credit card so I'd like to keep the cost down as much as possible.
Thanks,
Mike
PS: And please don't suggest a Mac as I have considered it but decided not to jump into an Apple with a laptop, I may consider a Mac Mini to try it out first.
