Tell me which laptop in the above links are better than this t9300 the person is selling me. they are all under $900. so i was thinking, maybe i can get to show him a better laptop, and maybe reduce the price of that better laptop by 60% or 75%, i will purchase it with those prices because its 2 yrs old and used. so if a $900 laptop was better than his, i can pay like almost half his price, like $450-$600? is my reasoning good?

Please help! Must need laptop photoshop and dreamweaver and lineage 2. thanks im hoping to get a lot of help on this, so give me all your opinions please and ty

Not sure about them, as I am still learning to compare computers. But, from my small knowledge, Asus is good for laptops/netbooks. And from personal experience, HP SUCKS. Stay away from them.
