Hi all -
I've been looking around for laptops in the $1500 range, and have found only one that fits perfectly for my price/performance conditions, the Toshiba 2805-S301. However, while people seem to say the machine is good, no one has really commented on Toshiba quality overall.
I've seen one IBM that looked okay (no floppy drive), the i1200. But while people seem to say IBMs are well-made, they also said the i-series is manufactured by Acer, and not as good.
Dell has been recommended by several people, but a) Their prices are higher, and b) I can get discounts on the other two.
Does anyone have any recommendations? Any experiences to share?
Thanks,
Andrew
PS: If you have any pointers on a laptop in the $1500 range with DVD and a TFT screen and at least a 6gig hard drive (I'll upgrade the RAM, thanks
), I'd appreciate that help, too!
