Now that the AMD Turion is really out, Intel is rolling out the 64-bit desktops and you are talking this fall... Neither model may be something you'll consider in .. the fall.
Furthermore, I took our son on trips to colleges and the on campus Dell deal and the 4 year support package is what consumers would kill for. Does your prospective school have such a program?
Here's the situation:
I am going to college this fall and need a laptop. I have narrowed the search down to these three models.
Dell 700m
IBM Thinkpad T42
IBM Thinkpad T43
Between these--without considering cost--which is the best? That is, the best performing with the best specs, quality etcetera. NOTE: The one I buy will meet my performance needs.
