I'm looking at buying a laptop within the week and use primarily for internet and tuning. What do you guys have and what do you recommend?

 

I Use An Old Dell D610 It Has A Old Pentium M 760 2ghz Processor... I Stuffed A Lil Extra Ram In Her... And She Does Everything Great.... Especially Since My Main Rig Is Usually Apart For Some Stupid Reason



Basically Most Laptops You Will Find On The Market Will Do What Your Looking For Just Fine...

Can Be Had For Less Than 500 Bux... Especially If You Get Used

 

I paid right around 500 bucks for my cheap dell 512 prosessor and a few gig momory. basically the cheapest one you can find if all it is going to do is tune....

 

Stay away from Toshiba, Mine overheats all the time and the battery only last for about 20min.

I hate this POS.

 

I have an old Compaq Evo with a Pentium 4 and it works fine, other than I wish the battery would last longer. I think I get maybe an hour out of the battery so usually have my inverter handy so I can keep it plugged in.

Like they said about anything will work (except a Mac). When my current one craps out I am probably just going to by an HP or Compaq from Wal-Mart which are going for~$550 right now. Hp seems to have a pretty good reputation as far as I know.

 

Hmmm, I thought toshibas had some of the best reps around, I had pretty much narrowed it down to that or an HP... I guess I know what I'm looking for now. I was planning on spending anywhere up to about 750 on one.

 

well i belive that HP makes Toshibas. I have love my HP long battery life. i got mine from BJs whole sale for about 700 Wal-Mart.

 

I havn't done any tuning with mine, leave that up to J, just logging since finishing the mods on the truck, sendin them, but use my inspiron 1720..

I got a real good deal on a 17" Compaq A931NR
Bestbuy had it on clearance for 599.99.
See if you can find one in your area that still has em on clearance. If you get lucky like i did you can get the display model the take off another $50.

You could also check Newegg.com to see if they have any sales going on. Personally i'd avoid ACCER. I think they are cheap made.

 

HP owns Compaq as well.
