Hey,
Im looking to get a laptop for college, since I just found on the college of engineering in my university requires a laptop (grrrh another grand...college is expensive no doubt). I have never owned a laptop (you get so much more out of a desktop), so Im not familiar with the good brands and the different hardware available for laptops right now.
Anyways, Im not going to be gaming on it, but Im going into an engineering field and will probably have to use CAD and other such 3D programs on this laptop.
I think I want to go with either of these two by looking at their specs and the savings new egg has on them right now:
Newegg.com - Gateway M-6851 NoteBook Intel Core 2 Duo T5550(1.83GHz) 15.4" Wide XGA 4GB Memory DDR2 667 250GB HDD 5400rpm Dual layer DVD Burner ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2600 - Laptops / Notebooks
Newegg.com - HP Pavilion dv6936us NoteBook Intel Core 2 Duo T5750(2.00GHz) 15.4" Wide XGA 4GB Memory 250GB HDD 5400rpm DVD Super Multi NVIDIA GeForce 8400M GS - Laptops / Notebooks
I would like to keep this below or right at a grand and no higher.
Thanks,
