Oh yes, I'm sorry, I forgot. I plan on using the laptop pretty much for basic stuff--papers, music, internet. Perhaps light image editing/graphic design with photoshop or opencanvas.
On my current desktop I usually have at least 5 programs running simultaneously: AIM, winamp, post-its, kerberos (school program), norton auto-protect, word, IE, etc...
I am a college freshman (upcoming fall), and I've got the common college laptop crisis. My school only supports Dell Latitude, Optiplex, and Macintosh notebooks. I'd like to find a Dell that's under 1300 but has the following:
Processor-I'm not too sure about this one-Intel Pentium M, I suppose.
RAM-256Mb at least (I can always upgrade)
CD-RW at least (DVD optional)
Hard drive-40 Gig 5400
Wireless b/g
Windows XP
14.1" at least
Not being as computer-savvy as others here, I'd like to here any advice on finding such a computer.
Thank you ![]()
