i know that IBM is great, should be common knowledge.
IBM just plain out kicks ass, makes some absolutely killer laptops. Problem is, since you get what you pay for, their stuff is a wee bit on the expensive side.
I really only have like $600 or $700, with, obviously, less being the best! I just need reliablility here, it seems as though I cannot express that enough. I dont want someone comming in here and saying "That one sucks! It only has a 1.4! Get opne that has a 3.2 with a 6600GT!" You know it will only be a matter of time before sombody comes in saying that.
Powerslave, that would be awesome if you are willing to do that for me. Remember, the less money spent the better! I am going off to college, and I will need beer money.
And thye heat thing, thats something that comes with the territory. I am fully expecting it to get hot after nominal use. Like the one that I have(had) gets really hot after like 20 minutes. It's an IBM, I got it 2nd hand (free) and it already had some serious battle damage. But i tried to install Linux, and it died.
