new laptop needed

[fastrandstrongr]

alright, my friend is in the market for a NEW laptop, under 1500.

i recommended a sony vaio from compusa, but im wondering if any one else has good suggestions

desired specs: core duo or centrino proc, 100gb hd, dvdrw, 1gb ram, LIGHT! something like a 14.1 wxga would be good.

although that one is a bit on the heavy side.

thanks!

What does he need to use it for?

Vaios are overpriced. I would check out HP/Compaq.

They also have great student discounts if he is a student

ok. vaio = no good. also my friend is a chick

primary use is for school. so ur regular stuff like dvd, music, word processing, presentations, etc. no gaming though. just a nice laptop that will last 4 years.
