Well, this past Friday after work I finally did the deed and bought myself a new laptop, and I must say, I'm pleased so far
I didn't really want to spend over 500, because I figued all I would be using my laptop for is school and other various little things (like listening to music and maybe even a DVD here or there...but nothing more) so I shopped around for a while, and eventually stumbled onto my Toshiba Satellite A215-S4807 .. Great laptop
Specs:
160Gb HD (Plenty of damn room for just about anything I'll ever need.
2Gigs of RAM DDR2 , hell yeah, more than my Desktop at home :0
AMD Turon 64X2 @ 1.8ghz.. another higher spec than my current desktop.
15.4 BEAUTIFUL widescreen monitor..
Great spekers, I watched "I think I love my Wife" earlier for about 20 minutes and it was fantastic..
The video processing is very fast, Burning DVD+CD's will be a sinch since the writer is up to date with most desktops on the market, it's very well designed sleek, looks great I love it..
$699 before Tax, along with a wireless mouse package = $781... A bit more than I had WANTED to spend, but i'm getting over it pretty fast.
I can play Counter Strike : CZ at 60fps Solid, so gaming isn't out of the picture either.
Oh, and it's got a 12in1 media reader, Go Toshiba!!
