I don't really do laptops but I got asked to make some recommendations on a sub $800 CAN laptop (cheaper the better). Just did some searching and came up with these options, just wanted some feedback on the best deal.
Its use is very general , around the house, take home work stuff, no gaming or intense graphics needed.
I'm looking at the Gateway M-7332H from Best buy on sale for $600:
Computers: Laptops: Gateway 15.4" Laptop featuring Intel Pentium Processor T4200 (M-7332H) | Best Buy Canada Web Store
The HP DV6-1124CA from future shop at $700:
Future Shop: Computers: Laptops: HP Pavilion 16.0" AMD Athlon X2 QL-64 Dual-Core 2.10GHz Laptop (DV6-1124CA)
and the Toshiba L300-0HH from Future Shop at $680:
Future Shop: Computers: Laptops: Toshiba Satellite 15.4" Intel Core 2 Duo T6400 2.0GHz Laptop (L300-0HH) - Future Shop Exclusive
I'm leaning towards the Gateway due to lowest cost for similar specs, just curious how the X2 2.1Ghz stands up to the C2D 2.0Ghz. As well as the GMA 4500 video vs the RS780M.
Any help is appreciated
