I bought a Toshiba Satellite last summer. It had about 70% of those items on it. I dunno, I just left it. Although that Toshiba Bulletin Board pops up about every boot. I mostly Hibernate though, so it doesn't do that often.

Edit: It was a dual-core AMD P320 CPU, Radeon 4200 or 4250 graphics, and 3GB DDR3, and a 320GB HD. No webcam. $400.

Thx Larry I was thinking maybe just for the time being I'll just disable the junk in startup. After a year in the hands of all the folk that will handle it I'll probably have to reformat anyways 😀

Make sure to burn the recovery CDs, before you disable all of that stuff.

Most modern 500GB 5400RPM HDs are faster than an older 250GB 7200RPM HD.

Only in sequential transfers, but as OS drive, the seek time and random read are king. Any older 7200rpm will feel snappier than a modern 5400rpm. Windows doesn't need to transfer 100MB/sec when you open a powerpoint file....

Will do!

I used to volunteer in the AV department (back when P4 were the latest) .... and to be honest I woldn't have gone the laptop route, the reason is simple you can upgrade a pc as opose to a laptop (add ram, add ssd and keep the hdd, change vd, add 2nd dvd-rom etc and next time when you upgrade, you can use the parts)

I used couple of media projection software and to take advantage of all the features, i needed a dedicated vd and def. you would WANT a ssd to have all things run smootly (all the time)

it plain sucks when the pc becomes unresponsive when you project something 🙂 .... although the i5 is a monster compared to the P4, but still keep that in mind next time 🙂
