[freak]

I'm not sure how much a $1000 is because I live in Britain. However, opt for the new Intel Centrino technology, the Acer Travelmate.

It comes with 512 MB of DDR RAM, a 1.6GHz Intel Centrino, 40 GB HDD, DVD-ROM, CD-RW, 64 MB Graphics, Stereo Sound, USB 2.0, FireWire, WLAN, 802.11b WiFi

The above specification isn't entirely accurate, I'm just recalling it from the top of my mind.

I did a search on what you recommended there about $1500 to $1800 so thats out of my price range....

[freak]

ok i had a few more ques i'll post them in here instead of makeing a new topic... I noticed most laptops don't have floppy drive why? what if u need a boot disc and i also wanted info on wireless modems how do the work is it an adapter that plugs into the 56k modem already on the computer or do you remove the 56k modem and install it itself?!! sorry to seem like a noob but i've never seen or messed with wireless modems before..

[freak]

hmm can anyone else help with anymore links to some place with good deal or an answer to my ques above

Well for a good laptop 1000 dollars wont buy much. Try to find a laptop with intel centrino technology and a intel m processor. It performs amazing because it was built for laptops not broken down to fit in laptop. Also it only consumes about 1 watt so it has extended battery life and it has 1mb of L2 cache which is very good and makes it run exceptionally fast.

I have a place I could recommend to you but they are all refurbs. I have bought'en refurbished stuff all the time and I have never had a problem, but one time I bought a brand new cordless phone and I had nothing but troubles with it so it goes to show you, you never know ;) try www.refurbdepot.com some stuff are a little over priced but Im sure you'll find a good deal there. hope this helps! :)

[imtoshort]

i think you could aget a better one for a littl ebi tmore money ,like 1500

[freak]

thanx i'll check that site i don't mind refurbs...and i know i could get a better one for $1500 but i getting a check for $1600. i really only want to spend $800 possibly $1000

[freak]

they have horriable ratings but thanx for the site anyways:lol:

spend some time thinking about it first. make sure it has everything u need, because &#036;1000 is a lot of money, and laptop prices may go down. i&#39;m going to be waiting awhile till i buy a laptop. at least until ones that can support XP are down to &#036;700.

[freak]

here i found this site it seems pretty good lot of pretty cheap laptops and seems to have a good rating and lots have or would support XP
opps forgot to post the site lol :lol:
