New Laptop

[[JiF]Pvt. Harrick]

I am going to have an opportunity to go out and get a new laptop. I think I will Save Up for the Sony- VAIO with Intel(r) Centrino(r) Processor Technology. It runs Windows as its platform and can run Vista OR Win 7 Ideas? Other suggested Computers under $1300? http://www.sonystyle.com/webapp/wcs/sto ... ryId=16154 http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp ... 8095152438

Harrick I play on a Sony Vaio which is at least 4 years old. Mine is a 17" monster which weighs a ton, but it has a great screen.
I think you'd be better off waiting until you can get a machine with W7 on it rather than the Vista & free upgrade route. Will not be that long now 'til it is out.
Still I would recommend the Sony as touch wood I have had no problems apart from the type face disappearing off of my W A & D keys for some strange reason

Zouga do you have Italian blood in you?
It reminds me of the old joke about the gears on Italian tanks more reverse than forward.
There now I've managed to offend a whole nation & their overseas descendants.

Phew

when I read that first line I was reminded of an even older joke

"Do you have any Irish in you?"

"No"

"Do you want some...."

[[JiF]major confusion]

Out of all the laptops I have owned over the last several years I would have to suggest a Toshiba. I'm still using my Toshiba 17" which is around 5 yrs old and it still out performs a lot of the new ones. I have a 2 yr old Gateway that I got to use when we travel so the kids could watch movies on it and stay off mine and I would rather watch movies on mine as the pic quality and sound is just outstanding.

Toshiba may be a little more expensive then most but I have come to consider them the luxury of all laptops.
