Guest FooFooMaru Posted June 16, 2006 Report Share Posted June 16, 2006 My girlfriend is going to college in the fall and has a $1,000 to get a labtop. I'm not big on 'em so what type of recommendations would you have?! Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lustalbert Posted June 16, 2006 Report Share Posted June 16, 2006 What program of study is she looking into, and how computer literate is she already? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokin5s Posted June 16, 2006 Report Share Posted June 16, 2006 get onto ebay... I just bought my g-f a Dell Latitude C600 which is a 850 mhz, 512 ram, Windows XP and Office 2k3 for 130 dollars.... they are work horses... I have the C610 for my personal laptop and it's great for office, browsing the internet, etc... just no games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FooFooMaru Posted June 16, 2006 Report Share Posted June 16, 2006 Not very computer literate and going into Nursing. She probably won't buy from ebay because not use to it so most likely going to best buy and looking at some gateways and dell because they are getting the best feedback so far from people i've asked Thanks so far nurkvinny-you're naaaaaaughty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JaSSon Posted June 16, 2006 Report Share Posted June 16, 2006 Anyone else want to point out the typo? Anyone? Did we all catch it? Ok! moving on... Micro Center seems to have a good selection of laptops. Go there and you can get some ideas. They're located right near 315 and bethel.

Guest Removed Posted June 16, 2006 Report Share Posted June 16, 2006 so , what is a lab-top??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gergwheel1647545492 Posted June 16, 2006 Report Share Posted June 16, 2006 Dane, go to microcenter on bethal, and look at their line of winbooks. they are really good computers, and normally a few hundred cheaper than the dell's and gateways.

Farkas Posted June 16, 2006 Report Share Posted June 16, 2006 I bought a Dell 700m for a pretty good deal and I love it.. I'm the type that prefers small compact stuff so this is the downsized version of this model and I love it. It's a flippin' beast and does everything I can ask for. I'm pretty partial to the screen too, the picture is amazing... I had read that they have a downside with the battery life so I upgraded to a higher capacity batter and it has great battery life.

desperado Posted June 16, 2006 Report Share Posted June 16, 2006 I saw that Pet Smart had the dog summer ware on sale. Lab's are a bit hard to buy for though due to their size. I just let mine wear one of my old shirts, till I realized he just pissed all over it. Truth is that little dogs with tops on are cute. Big dogs like labs are not really suited (pardon the pun) for wearing tops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokin5s Posted June 16, 2006 Report Share Posted June 16, 2006 ok, I just looked on dell.com and they have some nice laptops for 699 with warranty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinner Posted June 16, 2006 Report Share Posted June 16, 2006 Plus 1 on the winbook I used to work for them they are great workhorses and don't come with all the bullshit soft=ware everother laptop comes with. (At least they didn't used to). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex1647545498 Posted June 16, 2006 Report Share Posted June 16, 2006 I love my 10" averatac. I'm not sure if size is something she's looking at. If she wants it for more mobility then get something small but if she wants a desktop replacement then she'll want one with a bigger screen.

Rally Pat Posted June 17, 2006 Report Share Posted June 17, 2006 First things first, LAPtop. Second, BETHEL road. Third, IBM's used equipment page is where I got my laptop. Thinkpad R40 for $500 even. The only things wrong with these are usually minor dinks and scratches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
