    laptops

    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...
    i love peta...and sars...
    and bin laden....and n. korea....and china...and p2p...spyware...

    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.

    AAARGGHHH. I hate those pointing sticks on IBM's. Better make sure you can use it. Otherwise stick with a touchpad based machine.
