New Laptop!

Supermariomp3 · 10-19-2006, 10:31 PM

I need some advice you guys. I saved up about 600 dollars for a new laptop (old one broke) and I don't really no anything about laptops (my mom bought my last one). I was hoping you guys can recommend me one.
I'm pretty much going to use it for web-surfing, word processing, some simple editing of movies and photos, and some light gaming. It has to be light & slim since I travel a lot.

I'm selling a Sony Vaio on eBay... I would tell you to buy it, but, it's broken. xD

Sony Vaios are realy good, so are Macs.

Here, I made this to your needs, it should be able to handle light gaming, well, maybe medium-gaming. So here it is. Under $600! I customized it myself to what I would think you like.

My cheap ass graphics card is capable of playing heavy games of warcraft 3, which is abuot medium-gaming, heavy gaming is like all settings with F.E.A.R. and i know that graphics card is better than mine.

whats your graphics card?? is it o a desktop? if it is then it's better because integrated ones use the cpu to make the graphics, and share system ram etc. it's especially bad on a lappy because they normally don't have very good procs

Thanks Sovieto, I just might look into it.
But does anyone know where I can get a cheap macbook or a used one for 600 dollars or under. Because I heard that you can have both Mac OSX and windows xp on it at the same time and that would really help me.

yeah, macbooks are awesome

i would check on ebay, and apple has a certified program too
