Hello,

I am getting a new laptop soon, specifically a Dell Laptop. Why? becuase it is cheaper and also has great deal. I want to get opinions and suggestions from you guys. here is the Dell Laptop I want: http://configure.us.dell.com/dellsto...=E1505S1&s=dhs

Please help me cuztomize this computer. Include the following in your post:
Processor:
Os: Windows Pro or Media Center?
Memory (RAM):
Hardrive Memory:
Wireless Card:

You are not limited from these suggestions. In fact you add more if you want. Also, please include why you chose those features/specs?

EDITED: I need a new laptop be cause my current one is kinda od crappy laptop. It is very slow. Its RAM is only 128mb, harddrive is ony 40, its old..about 4 years old now. In order to help you configure here are my interests: I spend most of my time in my computer, mostly in the internet. I go to forums a lot, chit-chat, do web and graphic designs, download movies, programs, music, and all that stuff.


To mod/admin: Feel free to move this topic in th reight section. I don't know where to post this.

You must state the things you will need the laptop for before I can suggest hardware combinations for it.

I edited my first post. Hopefully, you can help me now.

Processor: at least a 2.2 gig
Memory (RAM): at least 512 and 1 gig is good for gaming
Hardrive: at least 80 gig
3D card: 128 mb is good for gaming, if you play older games or don't really care about games that much 64 mbs will do just fine

always remember to buy the most expensive computer you can
shure there is those realy cheap ones but in teh end it is not worth it

I am not really into games. For the processor..I am looking for either Pentium or Athlon

for a laptop at least 1.5ghx processor is enough. 256mb ram and 64/128mb video ram. 40gb hardisk is also enough unless you want to store more videos and mp3s.

and with windows xp you kinda need 512 if you want it to run good
the hard drive is totaly up to you but but i like lots of space

From your requirements I recommend a basic 2 Ghz processor with 512 MB DDR RAM (256 if you can't afford 512) and a DVD writer. Get the largest capacity hard disk that fits in your budget. More space is always nice.

Contrary to what fsd thinks, there are no 3d cards for laptops so you don't have to worry about them. And the most expensive computer is not always the best one.

Thanks guys. But I am still not sure which Processor I should get, if Intel Processor or AMD Processor? Which one really is better? Duo Core is what I want but it cost a lot though.

dang I'm to used to desktops
in that case you should definitely get 512 mbs of ram because it will use some of that ram as a 3d card.
And i meant you should always get best computer you can not the most expensive one.
and pentium celeron might be your best chose for a processor for a laptop but it is your choice
