friends is looking for a laptop under 1000, for basic (internet,e-mail,music)help plz
Hello everyone!
Do you guys have any recommendations for a laptop under $1000 for things such as browsing the web, downloading music, etc she doesn't play any games so this mainly just for basic stuff.
She just wants something fast, so when she clicks on something it opens up! rather than a delay hah, and she wants vista! She thinks its pretty!
Having a decent size viewing area would be good as well.
So the graphics card doesn't have to be great, like she isn't going to be playing any cod4 or anything like that but enough to handle vista.
Any suggestions?
She works at verizon so she said she might get discounts at DELL but not certain on that one.
Thanks a ton guys!
PS: She says under a 1000, so being under that def. is priority, she's cheap.
EDIT: I saw another poster saying he bought:
is there any better deals than this or should I do the same thing for my friend?
core duo 1.4 seems pretty slow if applications arn't multi threaded isn't it just going to be running at 1.4?
Also the graphics card might be overkill on this setup if she isn't a gamer right?
I know she def needs 2 gigs of ram to handle vista
She wants a good size monitor
she wants to be able to burn cd's/dvds
she doesn't want it to die all the time
She doesn't need a great graphics card but does want to be able to handle vista's pretty features.
EDIT 2:
Is that a good deal or no?
