Computer for law school?

Question

I'm about to buy a computer for law school and I was wondering if the specs I have picked out will be suitable. I am mostly gonna use it for word processing but will also have some music on it. Not much into gaming so that shouldn't be a problem. I'm mostly concerned about overheating problem cause my Dell sucked. I was looking at a HP dv2000t with these specs.......
-Operating System Genuine Windows Vista Home Basic (32-bit)
-Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) Duo processor T2350 (1.86 GHz, 2MB L2 Cache, 533MHz FSB)
-Display 14.1" WXGA High-Definition HP BrightView Widescreen Display (1280 x 800)
-Memory 2GB DDR2 System Memory (2 Dimm)
-Graphics Card 128MB NVIDIA(R) GeForce(R) Go 7200
-Networking Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection and Bluetooth(TM)
-Hard Drive 160GB 5400RPM SATA Hard Drive

Open to any other suggestions....Looking to spend between $1500-$1800

Thanks in advance.....

Answer 1

This was a very good choice

The hp pavillion dv2000t is an excellent laptop, you will not find a better one for the money.

This will get you through law school and much more. You have enough power in that laptop to do anything

Answer 2

It seems to be overkill to me. Any laptop under $1000 should do what you need. BTW, heat is produced by the CPU, so ask before you buy.

Does your budget include M$-Office ($400) and a printer / scanner?

Try the free, and M$-Office compatible, Open Office from:
http://www.openoffice.org

Included: Writer (like Word), Calc (Excel), Impress (PowerPoint), Base (Access), Draw (M$-Paint) and Math

Just make sure that if you want others to be able to view the documents using M$-Office Word, save them using "Save as..." in .doc format, instead of the default .odt format. Or use the built-in PDF creation feature.

There, now you can afford to subscribe to the Legal communities Databases.

Answer 3

You should get a Toshiba Satellite M65-S9092 for law school.

Answer 4

that one that you are gonna buy right now is really good but i suggest you buy an LG laptop because they never ovver heat and please make this your best answer
