Need suggestions for replacement of aging laptop

AAG · 04-18-2007, 12:59 PM

Well my laptop is literally falling apart (fan went bad, keyboard buttons breaking/sticking, wireless modem failed) and i'm in need of a new one. I've looked a bit and the best bang for buck I've ran into is this one http://www.bestbuy.com/site/ol...45063

Does anyone recommend this laptop? Any other ones I should take a look at? I really don't want to spend more than what that one is priced at. Any help would be appreciated thanks!

yea the laptop you choose is ok

I have this laptop. The G1 is the best 15.4' notebook you can buy at this price range. However might I suggest buying from MilestonePC.com or BTOtech.com because you get the Ensemble package (Free backpack made by Targus, and a free MX518 mouse by Logitech). You can also choose to customize it by choosing a processor, hard drive and maybe a couple other things.

I have had this laptop for a couple weeks now and it is GREAT, read the review I have posted in my sig. It will tell you everything about the G1..once again, GREAT laptop!

Doesn't it already come with the backpack and mouse regardless of who you buy it from? The newegg comments were saying that they came with the two accessories. Oh, and I would be buying it on my Bestbuy card so thats why i'm trying to get something from there.

the Toshiba one is pretty good as well

No I don't think the G! that bestbuy sells comes with the Ensemble package, I was in the same market for this laptop not but a month ago. I wanted to buy it form Bestbuy as well, but they couldnt customize it to waht I wanted, and the BB for Business people were morons, so I chose MilestonePC.com. Really easy. But it is your choice, the reward zone points would be nice on for that though.
