mine broke recently, and it will apparently cost over $300 to repair. since there is no point in wasting that much on a 2 year old crappy laptop, I though I might as well buy a new one. I have been searching for over an hour now, but can't find anything decent with my limited budget.
Budget: ~$700 CAD, will go up to $800
Display: 15.4, larger prefered
HDD: 80 gb is fine
CPU: 1.8GHz or more, 64bit, dual core (preferably amd)
RAM: 1gb is fine
DVD: Dual dvd burner
Mem Card Reader: n/a
Webcam: n/a
GPU: Something that will run compiz
Audio: crappy onboard is fine
Modem: Preferably
WLAN: b/g
USB: Minimum 3 ports
OS: preferably none
Other: nothing too fat or ugly, and preferably not online either. shipping is expensive and i hate waiting for the package.
The closest thing I found is
this, but its a 32bit intel @ 1.6ghz. otherwise very good
