im looking to spend about $1000 for a new laptop... is there any good ones out there you would recommend? i would prefer pentium since celeron is not that good...

It's sold out FYI.

 

no they have it in one of the stores in houston

 

some cheap dells out there and some cheap apple laptops, but the support ont he apples is $$ and they come with crap 90 day warentees, so you need to spend it

 

This isn't the worst choice you could make. Get the extended warranty from CompUSA. I was once told I could go outside and light what I bought on fire and they would reaplce it, probably not, but it was funny. Never bought the warranty.

My dell and sony both have had their mobo's fried.

 

I have a Celery laptop, it gets the job done...what kind of stuff are you going to be doing on it? Gaming? Photoshop? If not, you might be better off with a Celeron...they really arent THAT bad

 

I got my Compaq Presario 2175 for about $1100 and have had 0 problems so far - it's got an Athlon mobile chip in it, comparable to Pentium 4 I'm told...
