Ok, i need to choose a gift for my sister, asap. I would appreciate it, if i could get some honest feedback of which i should pick. I narrowed it down. The main focus on this topic is PORTABILITY.. something light and something a college student can carry around.
ASUS W5A --> This is a great laptop cause it's everything out of the ordinary. Nothing bland here. battery life is also decent.
$1600
1.7ghz
512mb ram
12.1 WXGA screen
40gig HD 4200rpm
1.3 megapixel built in camera
4lbs
notebook bag included
Thinkpad Z60T --> This is a great laptop as well, however, if i choose this, it's going to be a 1.4ghz CELERON. Imo, it's a nicely built laptop, battery life is great, and cooling is not an issue cause it stays very mild most of the time. However, it's not something a sister would like cause it ain't pretty.
$1,100
1.4ghz Celeron
14.1 WXGA screen
512 mb
40 gig HD
4.5lbs
fingerprint scanner for security
What i really do enjoy about the thinkpad is that it's reliable.
INSPIRON 700M --> This is another contender that ranks into what my sis wants. However, the issue is that it is fundamentally a DELL at heart. Dell is nothing great and their products always turn sour on me after a year or so.
However, at the price they are willing to sell their laptop and what it's loaded with, it's hard to pass up.
$1,100
1.8ghz
40gig HD 5200rpm
8x DVD BURNER (Others don't include this)
an additional battery (8 cell)
512mb RAM
I know the inspiron has poor battery management, but to make up for it, if you include another battery, i guess it evens out.
Personally, i dont' like the INSPIRON 700m. IT feels very cheap and it leaves a bad impression on my fingers after i held it, sort of like touching a dirty dog.
Anyways, feedback is appreciated.
