Ok here's the scoop. I have researched and read and priced a new laptop to death. I have read all the reviews, tested the laptops in store, and asked tons of people. Here is what I have it narrowed down to, and help is appreciated.
Both systems are 1GB RAM, 80GB HD, plus larger Lithium-Ion battery instead of standard 6cell. CD/DVD drives, Wireless card, 14.1'' fancy screen, usual bells and whistles.
Dell is Intel® Core™ Duo T2050 (1.60GHz, 2MB L2 Cache, 533 MHz FSB),
Total price with above listed features. 710$ plus tax.
HP is Mobile AMD Sempron(TM) 3500+ or the Athlon Mk 36
Total price with above listed features $720/ $740.
I only am using a new system for business travel, so mainly for music, DVDs and internet. I am not a gamer, and dont particularly care about the Vista upgrade. My main concerns are price and reliability.
I am also considering a refurb MacBook, with the 1.8gb Core Duo.
Its 799$
Thoughts, advice and opinions are most appreciated.
Thanks!
