I am looking for a cheap laptop manufacturer. All I really want to do on my laptop is use the internet to go on msn, post on forums, and watch some videos. And possibly put my music on to listen to. I really think I'd only need a single core processor like a pentium 4, core duo, amd semphron, or a low end dual core. 1GB of ram should would, and like an 80GB hard drive would be fine. And I'd like a 15.4" screen.
I was thinking of an eeepc, but they have tiny hard drives and are expensive for what you get since they used SSD, which is stupid. I was thinking of something at a max of about $500 if I have to pay it all at once, or something around $800 - $1000 if I can make payments on it. EDIT: I found this HP CQ50Z All I did was upgrade the cpu to a dual core. It's about $460. Here are the important specs: OS: Windows Vista Basic (will be installing linux over it) CPU: AMD Athlon X2 1.9Ghz Display: 15.4" WXGA RAM: 1G DDR2 (I'll probably buy another GB of RAM elsewhere if it's cheaper) Video Card: Nvidia Geforce 8200M G Hard Drive: 120GB 5400RPM Drive: 8x DVD+/-R/RW Double Layer Support Battery: 6 Cell Lithium Ion Last edited by Kewl Munky; 08-08-2008 at 06:15 AM. |
