I sort of took up a nomadic life & I can't keep hauling a desktop around. It's nuts. I need a good, tough, cheap notebook.
I watch movies sometimes, so a 15.4" screen is a good idea. Also, I take billions of digital photos, & am crazy about mix tapes. I might want to play some games sometime (I played Resident Evil the other day & nearly peed my pants, so I kind of want a scary game now).
I think it's ok if I only have 80g - it makes me nervous to have everything all in one place & I don't mind a few USB drives. I hear good things about Toshiba, bad things about Dell, and can't afford a Mac. I don't want to spend a ton of money - maybe around $700USD. More or less is negotiable, but things change so fast it seems senseless to invest too much. I mean, none of them seem built to last, no matter how much I pay. What about processors, drivers, that sort of thing? What am I looking for?
Please answer thoroughly, w/ specific examples and links to recommended models if possible. Thx!
