I would say Dell with an AWESOME 4 year warranty...that way your garanteed to have it at least 4 years . But I dont know if you mean it will still have good performance in 4 years, or you want it to last 4 years. You prob wont get a laptop that will still have good performance in 4 years sept maybe an alienware or voodo, or very high end notebook which are very exspensive. Dell is great....I know from exsperiance.

ok biddawg, what do you reccomend? i want ot have at least 512 ram, 40 gb, cdrw/dvd, and i dont want celeron. also my budget is about 1500

Inspiron 5150 This has a 3.0 Ghz P4!!, 512MB of ram, 40 GB HD, and a CD RW/DVD combo drive. All for 1482. Only a 1 year warranty though, heres one with a slightly slower CPU but better warranty, depending on what you want, this might be better. Dimension 5100. Has the exact same stuff as the one above, except a 2.8Ghz P4, BUT it has a 3 year warranty...cost 1,501. Sorry bout going over a dollar haha

Hmmm ok the links dont take you to the custom ones I put together. Just put 512MB and the CPU i listed and stuff...and you will get a good price.

ok that 2nd one sounds good. im looking for at least 3 year warranty (like the second) and accidental damage (for at least 3 years). i know dell has 4 year warranty.

im looing on hp.com to see how much an amd would cost with their best warranty

mkay now 1646 w/ 100 rebates for....

amd 2500+
xp home
2x256 ddr sdram
60 gb 4200 rpm hdd
microsoft works/money
dvd/cdrw
56k/802.11b lan (wi fi)
15'' tft xga lcd (1024x768)
ati mobility radeon
3 year express warranty/accidental damage

-_- not sure if its a good deal, maybe even exensive. but it does have the warranty. that warranty is at least 300. i cant check because my computer is too slow

[mooseman2070]

i got it! the warranty is 349.99

[bigdawgfoxx]

Ok, the 2.8Ghz P4 would whoop the 2500..although I love the the 2500. And Dell is a much better name and every HP laptop I have seen has kinda sucked...clogged with shit and slow and breaks...I would go with the second Dell. Trust me you will love it.

[mooseman2070]

ok. im still saving up money and that will take a while

[bigdawgfoxx]

Alright I see. Thats kinda how I am except i have the money im just waiting till after christmas. Conclusion: buy the Dell with the "slower" CPU 2.8 and get the 3 year warranty. Trust me...you will love it. DONT get the HP
