I posted this in the Notebooks forum but didn't get many views so hopefully it's ok to repost it here...
I've been looking for a decent laptop and came across this one...TextText
After making the upgrades I want I came to this:
Selected Features:
* Intel(R) Core(TM) Duo T2250 (1.73 GHz/2MB L2Cache)
* 512MB DDR2 System Memory (1 Dimm)
* FREE Upgrade from 80GB 5400RPM to 120GB 5400RPM!!
* Super Multi 8X DVD+/-R/RW w/Double Layer Support
* 128MB NVIDIA(R) GeForce(R) Go 7200
* 802.11b/g WLAN
* 14.1" WXGA BrightView Widescreen (1280x800)
* Genuine Windows Vista Home Basic
* Microsoft(R) Works 8.0
* 6 Cell Lithium Ion Battery
* HP Imprint Finish + Microphone
* No TV Tuner w/remote control
the total when I customized came out to around $880...is that a decent price for what i get? I plan on adding another 512MB stick aftermarket.
My main uses would be the basics (MS Office, internet, etc), I also would like to be able to play games such as warcraft and CS:S....some dvd watching as well...
Any other recommendations or suggestions?
