Here's what I'm looking for. Maybe this will help a little better.
At least a Pentium III 1 Gig...or equivalent AMD
At least 256 MB RAM
At least a 14 inch screen, resolution up to 1024 x 768
An S-video out on the video card
Would be nice with a Mobile Radeon card, or equivalent
CDRW or DVD ROM
I have no need for firewire, or anything like that. I'm looking to spend $1400 or less.
I want at least a two year warranty.
I looked at buy.com earlier and they have an extended warranty plan that you can buy for about $200 that covers the laptop for 3 years. If someone goes wrong, they come to your home and pick up and send it to a repair and service place, then return it to you. If the service shop cannot repair it, then they either give you a check for the entire amount of the original purchase or replace the laptop with an equivalent model. very
It was suggested on another board that netlux was good, but Netlux seems almost too good to be true. I have heard that some companies will put a desktop processor, rather than a mobile processor in a laptop, which creates more heat, etc. so I want something completely reputable and with a kickass warranty.
Anyone have have any experience with Netlux?
Also, some additional questions - do most of the laptops at 1 Gig play divx well? How dependent on the video card is it? Can most of the newer ones play divx crisp and clear with say an 8 or 16 meg graphics card? Also, I would like the ability to plug in two headphones into one jack and I have seen an adapter that can be purchased, not specifically for laptops, but just for anything such as a stereo, etc. that will accomodate two headphones into one jack...any ideas?
Quick question, anyone that has flown Delta international, do they offer laptop hookups in economy class. I can only find them for business class on the website, but the customer service rep thought that they were present in economy class as well. Anyone that can confirm this?
Also, what kind of adapter will I need? Will just any plane/car adapter built for my laptop work or does it need to be something special that Delta recommends?
