I think I posted a thread a few months back about buying a laptop. Well, I stuck it out with this old Dell Inspiron 9300 but now I'm coming back to the States for Thanksgiving and would like to take a new Centrino 2 computer back to Germany with me.
So here's what I'm looking for:
So here's what I'm looking for:
- I want to spend no more than about $1300... could stretch to $1500 if it's worth it.
- I'm planning on using it for word processing, internet, watching DVDs, streaming video, listening to music, and maybe some gaming when Starcraft 2 comes out.
- Probably a 15"-16" widescreen that's of pretty high quality... open to 14.1" too, though, I guess.
- At least 3 USB ports, 4 would be better, though.
- Integrated webcam would be nice.
- I want it to look nice... like the Sony Vaios.
- Decent sound quality (for computer speakers), should go fairly loud. Like I can get out of my Inspiron.
- I won't buy Gateway, Compaq, or little-no-name-company products.
- At least 250GB HDD, 320 would be better.
- I want the thing to last me at least 3 years, if possible.
- It should run pretty cool so the fan won't be annoying. Quiet is good!
