Getting a laptop - Recomendations? by dotNorma on 12-02-2004 at 11:58 PM
My friend , TylerG, is getting a new laptop and would like some opinions. He has been saving up a while and is looking to buy around Christmas time. He is looking for something cheap (Around $1,200 USD).
At first we were leaning towards an iBook , but Mac OS X just isn't for him. Gahh , Its a shame that we can't switch it to Windows XP! Apple is so good at designing hardware.
He has been looking into E-Machine and Sony Vaios.
Please post , And thanks for the opinions ahead of time.

How much money are we talking? And for what purpose?

Sony Vaio isn't bad, but their lower end machines aren't great either.
DO NOT let him buy an E-Machines, they suck.
I suggest Dell, they have good machines, a good price and good product support.
IMO he should waituntil he can buy a more high-end machine, otherwise he'll prob. regret it later. Go for a Dell, Toshiba, HP or Sony.

But this isn't for gaming , We don't want a gaming laptop. Thats why we have Gamecube.

Well, its a suggestion.
I would go Dell, but upgrade it, don't order the default setup. They always blow.

He just said it's not for gammingAnyways, Dell does have specific machines for gamming if that's what you're looking for.
