Hey guys. I'm new here, but it's nice to meet you all. I'm hoping for some advice on what kinds of deals I could get for my new laptop purchase.
First off, I'm not looking for the highest-of-the-high end laptops. Also, I am not looking to build my own PC. I am basically looking for a portable entertainment machine that will run most of the newest games at good rates, and all of the recent games in the last 6 mo or so at great rates.
Here are some basics:
1)I am willing to spend around $1500 at most.
2)I would like a Core2 Duo processor or AMD at or near 2.0Ghz.
3)I would like a Great video card, but not an extemporaneous one. Some examples of what I'm looking for are the ATI X18/1900 series, or the Nvidia 78/7900 GTX series. Not something that's going to skyrocket the price though. Even an NVIDIA GeForce Go 7900 GS would be GREAT!
4)I'd like at or near 100GB of HDD.
5)Good Wireless (of course)
These are what I'm looking for, but the most important inquiry I have is whether or not to go with Vista, or XP. I've heard nothing but **** about vista, but I'd like some of your great opinions. Thanks! I hope to hear from you soon.
