Well now that I'll be moving onto graduate school (Yey, getting my Ph.D.!!) It's looking like I'm going to have to sell off my big 1.2Ghz rig and settle into a nice laptop. I have a pretty good idea as to what I want, (specs below) at the moment I'm just looking for a good place to purchase it. If anyone knows of good online sites to purchase notebooks from let me know. I've been going directly to the retailers sites but I've been told you can get lower prices in other places online.
What I need:
Speed: ~1Ghz
Ram: >256MB
Hard Drive: >25GB
Onboard modem and ethernet
Onboard DVD CD-RW
Uses: Data manipulation/storage for school/work, Some mid-range gaming, DVD hookup to tv
Budget: $1200-1400 (i.e. whatever I can sell off my system(s) for)
I've been looking at the Dell Inspirion (8100) and Sony VIAOs....
