so a guy said to me today i've got 1200. I want a laptop, with a dvd/cd-rw, sceen size does not matter. I'm going to do simple graphics (he collects comic's cards and scans them and has a database of what he has, that is why he wants the cd-rw), word processing, dvd-movies, car navigation.
I don't really deal with laptops so i'm not sure what to tell him I suggested Toshiba's but apart from that nothing else.
so some feedback on good laptops..makes and model's in that pricerange...
Dell has great low cost solutions.
Dell's or Ibm Thinkpad's for me...
I like Dell Support (mostly) and I like the keyboards on thinkpads
I know.. arn't they great? I've owned to thinkpads, and think highly of both of them.Quote:

Stay away from Gateways.They suck.....from my experiences.
I've liked a few of the HP laptops. I'm currently running a Omnibook at work, and it's pretty nice. But then I've always loved HP. Best customer support I've ever seen. Course I havn't delt with them since the merger, so all bets are off at the moment.
thanks for the reply's
AAARGGHHH. I hate those pointing sticks on IBM's. Better make sure you can use it. Otherwise stick with a touchpad based machine.Quote:

I echo: Stay away from Gateway.
I wouldnt' have said that just a few months ago, but my laptop has a parallel port, CD-ROM, and keyboard problems.
