Kuci is getting a laptop - recommendations Lose 30 kilos (of popups)

I finally convinced my parents to let me buy a laptop. I haven't decided how much I want to spend - I have a bit under $2000, but I don't really want to spend more than half of it. Recommend me one

Kuci is starting to bear some responsibility; he's saved up his allowance from the past seven hours so that he can buy himself a laptop, instead of just using his parent's credit card.

Kuci bagged groceries at Giant all last summer. Kuci has babysat for the other parents in the neighborhood since he was 12. Kuci has not had an allowance since then.

One thing: if you buy laptop, I'd strongly suggest getting an Intel Pentium M on the new Centrino chipset.

Make sure it's Sonoma/Centrino, not the other one. Sonoma's the new one, being more powerful and what not, yada yada.

Toshiba makes good middle-of-the-road laptops. For 1,000$, you should find a windows based laptop that is of very acceptable quality.

IBM says it's only $1150... which is pretty close to my target.

iMacs are pieces of ****, abominations that do not deserve the term "computer".

Radeon 7500 is sorta like a TNT2 or a GeForce2. So yes, but not really.

Remember, IBM isn't so much selling to consumers as it is to businesses and corporations that do bulk purchases.

I have found an absolutely perfect HP laptop... but it costs $1500 ($1400 if I bring it down to 512 megs RAM)

I don't want to spend that much, but it beckons...

All you have to do is skip your caviar sandwiches for a couple days and you can afford it, or lay off a couple of the slaves that carry your throne for you. You can get by with four instead of six.
