I am in the market for a new laptop. Going to use it mostly for mutimedia and internet. Store my pics from digital camera and iTunes.Something that is pretty quick,decent graphics and sound. What do you think I should look at?
Thanks for the help.

 

I like the thin n lights like the Acer Timeline or Lenovo U350. The question is do you need an optical drive or not. If not then I'd go thin n light. Otherwise Dell Studios are nice, Studio XPS is better or you could go with the regular Inspiron lineup. If I were you I'd probably get a laptop and not a netbook they're a little small and underpowered for what you're looking for.

I have this special HOSTS file installed that doesn't fuck around! Apparently when I click that link it actually tries to route me through at least 2 other sites that probably try to install tracking cookies. My HOST file doesn't play that shit! So yeah I found it buy going to BB site directly and then searching for the model #.

So everyone else can enjoy the new tracking cookies that got installed which leads to more junk email cause they clicked that link. I'm good though!

 

Okay, dude. Chill out.

I went to Bestbuy.com, searched for the laptop, clicked on the link to bring up the product page, then copied and pasted the URL. Sorry I'm not a web genius. I didn't mean to spread tracking cookies.

 

I just picked up a HP CQ61 and love it.

 

It's ok it's not your fault. We're cool! Just BB probably wanted to know where I was coming from and where I was going afterwards. but I'm a

 

That's the $300 laptop right? my manager has it and I've played with it for a couple hours. It's actually not that bad, much better than I thought it'd be and that was with Vista, I think it had home premium though. Did you get one with 7 or Vista and is it the home premium version? I think the OP is looking for something more powerful than that though
