I'm trying to decide which of these laptops to buy. Anyone want to comment on any of these? I'm using for basic applications, some travel but not much, no heavy gaming, just looking for dependability and best overall performance. Appreciate any help. There are four I'm choosing from:
Toshiba Satellite M45-S169
* Intel Celeron M 380 1.60GHz
* 512MB DDR SDRAM
* 15.4" WXGA display screen
* 80GB hard drive
* DVD-R/CD-RW combo drive
* Integrated 802.11b/g, wireless LAN
* Windows XP Home OS
* 6.2 lbs
HP nx6110
* Intel Pentium M 1.73GHz
* 512MB DDR SDRAM
* 15" XGA display screen
* 40GB hard drive
* DVD/CD-RW combo drive
* Integrated 802.11 a/b/g wireless
* Windows XP Professional OS
* 4.5 hour battery life
* 6.06 lbs
Gateway NX550
* Intel Pentium M 1.73GHz
* 512MB DDR SDRAM
* 15.4" WXGA widescreen display screen
* 60GB hard drive
* DVD/CD-RW combo drive
* Integrated 802.11 b/g wireless card
* Windows XP Home (SP2) OS
* 5.9 lbs
Sony VAIO VGN-FS790B01
* Intel Pentium M 1.73GHz
* 512MB DDR SDRAM
* 15.4" LCD, XBRITE display screen
* 40GB hard drive
* DVD/CD-RW combo drive
* Integrated Intel PRO wireless 2200, wireless LAN
* Windows XP Professional OS
* 5.5 hour battery life
* 6.3 lbs
I was leaning towards Sony, but for no particular reason. I guess I was definitely leaning AWAY from the Toshiba because it's a Celeron? Let me know if there is one you would definitely choose or definitely NOT choose. Thanks in advance.
