laptop peeps....

Is this a good one? I have never got a laptop before and the woman really wants one I picked up a wireless router...a lynksis (sp) speed booter something or another. I picked that up now because I had some reward zone coupons that were about to expire. I am also completely new ot wireless internet It will still be a few months before we pick one up but this is the one she really liked.

For all that money you would think that you could get a bit more ram and a higher processor speed. The ram is expandable though.

Seems alright.

I've been using my wireless linksys for 3 years now.

Never had any problems.

I had a linksys and it was nothing but trouble. I took it back and got a netgear router and it works great.
