Laptops...

[nife4]

Which company would be good to get a laptop from ~1200k and used for school and movies/music and maybe gaming...

I know about the Hardware forums and what not, but I want the opinion of the people of ATOT.

 

[TitanDiddly]

That's a really broad question.

 

[nife4]

[dartworth]

Dell

 

[ElFenix]

He is asking for a brand name.....

i would try an HP or Sony Viao, Toshiba is the devil, and Dell's low/mid range laptops are very heavy.

 

[nageov3t]

unless you need it to be ultra portable, go with Dell.

 

[ironcrotch]

I agree, dell.

edit: check delloutlet.com for some spankin deals.

 

[lobadobadingdong]

for that little, dell or averatech (dell has better warranty's)

 

[CombatChuk]

Apple iBook, or Thinkpad R-Series

 

[spanky]

just to throw in another name... i've heard ppl say good things about acer laptops.

IBM is probably gonna run you over the 1200 USD, so stick w/ dell, or COMPAQ!

You mean the 9200 right? I'd say that's a pretty good option right there. However, you might be able to get the 9300 for a little over $1200. There are good deals on that pretty often. Right now I believe there's an $800 off coupon for Inspiron purchases $1999 and up. Oh yea, and this is with the 256mb 6800go card. I've got a 9300 and it's great.
