any body gonna help me out?
hey
I am an American student that will be going to college overseas. I am looking to buy a new laptop. I know some of the stuff I'm looking for, but I'm not sure what brand to get.
1gb Ram (512+ me add 512 is ok)
Xp Pro
DVD Burner
3 yr warantee
I want to be able to play some games on it, but thats not the complete purpose of the computer. I would also like good battery life. I'd like the best cpu I can get, I've been looking at a P4m 3.33.
My favorite laptop I've found is the Alienware M5500, but it is like $2500, too much money.
The other is a Toshiba A75s2311 which will cost about $2000 and is better in my undefined price range.
Any suggestions? What other brands should I look at? What would you pick? I looked at Dell but they are pricy to get a fast cpu. The dell would cost as much as the Alienware, so DUDE I'm definantly NOT getting a Dell.
Thanks for your help
