I've been scanning the sale ads - me and the Mrs have a little money squirreled away and we're looking for a laptop and prices seem to be falling pretty quickly.
I know Toshiba used to be good - I've also been seeing substantial price drops on HP. Dell, too but Dell doesn't seem to be as good as it once was from what I hear.
I'm looking for 3 or 4 gigs of RAM, a 250 gig HD, a good burner and bundled with wireless and a good graphics card, since I may do some imaging work on it. Run time is important, too - I'm gonna start a project and may not always be able to access power -
Best Buy seems to be dropping prices the quickest - I guess we're looking at + or - $500 or so, price is an issue, just trying to get the most bang for the buck.
The only thing that concerns me is the Vista OS - seems like it doesn't play well - I guess I could wipe it and do an XP install...
Also interested in find a portable flat bed scanner - remember seeing one that was upright and can't remember the brand.
I'm becoming fairly fluent in geek-speak for an old guy - so let me know what ya think -
Any help would be greatly appreciated -
