Hello everyone! Well I'm in search for a new laptop. I will be going into my first year of college soon and need a laptop that can multi task.
My budget is $500.
Here are a few of the credentials I'm looking for:
- Intel Centrino Duo or an AMD Turion
- at least 1GB RAM
- a hard drive of 160GB
- 120GB HDD with an external to back up all your stuff
But I need some help on an operating system to run. I basically use my computer for photo shopping and saving photos, music storage, surfing the web. But as a future college student should I run vista or windows XP 07 ? But also graphics are one of my main concerns since I am a gamer and heard vista has dx10 for gaming and has a coat of paint on it which makes it look better.
