Can anyone reccomend a laptop that's under 800$ that has a 14" (or smaller) LCD screen, weighs less than six lbs. (thin-and-light), and is powerful enough to run basic games? I missed the BF sales; as long as I'm paying full price, I may as well get something I like.
I used to own an iBook; however, I now use many windows programs, and even the cheapest of Apple laptops sold today is out of my price range.
I was looking at the HP NC4010 laptop. It's got a 12.1" LCD, and only weighs 3.5 lbs, without the external disk drive. It's got a 1.7 ghz Pentium M, 768mb of RAM, and the ATI IGP-350M graphics processor. Battery life is an acceptable three hours according to online tests; I can likely get four, being the battery miser that I am. (2 hours on a 3ghz Pentium-4 Inspiron 9100 is no mean feat.) It's 750$; a bit more than I'd like to pay, but I might get it anyway. (I'm very short on cash at the moment.)
Any other suggestions?
