Getting a notebook for school...


Well, as Im sure you dont remember, I had a poll a while back because I wasnt sure which school to go to for 11th grade. Well, eventually I can to choose the boarding school (which happened to win the poll).

One of the reasons I chose that school is my parents said I would be able to get a notebook computer if I went there, because I'd be living there for the better half of the week, plus the school basically requires it. my dad also happens to be getting a new notebook, so weve been shopping around at best buy and CompUSA for the past computer days. We found this computer, its extremely light, small and had a little bit of power. We both liked it, but I was looking something with more power.
At Best Buy we found this laptop with a 9600 mobility, 1024mb of RAM, and a 3.2 ghz P4, its pretty damn fast.

Im gonna end up using the Vaio over the weekend because I cant get the HP one for at least a few days anyway. The Vaio one isnt really mine, my dad really bought it for himself and said I can use it over the weekend and I can keep it if I really like it.

for my parents.

HP = Compaq = Worst way to spend your money, evar.

I had a Compaq, it was nothing but problems. Tech support sucked. People who work for HP/Compaq (my friend Chris's mom) wouldn't even let her family get one.

Don't throw away your money!

its not a question of power, its a question of practicality. the Vaio is the lightest and smallest notebook Ive ever seen. thats basically what I like about it so much. btw just some more obvious specs for you:

Vaio: Intel Centrino 1ghz
-512 mb RAM
-64mb video memory (intel chipset)

HP: P4 3.2 ghz
Radeon 9600 mobility (128 mb)
-1 GB RAM

actually when HP bought out Compaq, they kept the Pesario (sp?) notebook series along with the pavilion, theyre not the same computers.

uhh, What was I looking at......
Dell laptops are pretty teh pwn I hear.

OH SHIT, I forgot to say, I meant a ibm thinkpad!!

thats what I would reccomend, it isnt the fastest, more like 2nd or 3rd, but the one in 1st gobbles the living shit out of the power. ibm is the in the middle one thats real good.
THINKPAD!

The place I work at is like one of maybe 3 HP/Compaq Reseller/Authorized Repair Center in western PA. We will only sell the higher end business class models cause yes, the cheaper than dirt models do suck da moose testies. We hardly ever have any problems with their higher end models. So I would not go as far to say HP/Compaq sucks completely. Every company has there sucky ass models and the good quality models.
