I am starting grad school, and I want a centrino M processor, with at least 1.8Ghz. I would love 1Gb ram, but 512 will suffice. Hard drive should be 60Gb.
I have been looking at Dell 6000, Dell 700M, HP DV1000.
I have used the HP, and the 4200RPM is slow!!! I am from Canada, so we cannot customize from HP, we must buy as pre-configured, so I cannot upgrade that HD.
Is there another laptop I should be looking at. I wanted to spend $1500-1600 USD
I don't want the laptop weghing more then 6.8 pounds.
