indiegirl Posted June 21, 2007 Posted June 21, 2007 Which of the three below would you choose? (answer in the poll above) Yes I am a cheapskate, and yes I only need a cheap 'n cheerful laptop - primarily for surfing & basic use; but FM2007 might be required (;-)). If anyone has any warnings about running Linux on any of them, do impart your information as I plan to dual-boot... #1 - Dell Inspiron 1501. clicky AMD Turion 64 X2 Mobile TL50, 1024MB Memory, 120GB Hard Drive, 8X DVD Writer, 15.4" WXGA LCD... Windows Vista Business. #2 - Lenovo C200 clicky CoreDuo 1.73GHz 1GB 80GB DVDRW VistaHome. #3 - Dell 6400 clicky Intel Dual-Core T2080 1.73GHz, 1024MB, 120GB, 8x DVD Writer, 15.4" WXGA Intel® Media Accelerator 950 Vista Business
Domino Posted June 21, 2007 Posted June 21, 2007 The only thing I'd say with all of those is that they all require ram in pairs, so if you did want to upgrade you'd have to buy two new sticks. personally : http://store.apple.com/Apple/WebObjects/ukInd.woa/6244045/wo/7o3JMNXoRY5b3UgfyAK2411Yyig/4.?p=0
