I'm on the hunt for a new laptop. Although I have a rough idea of the
spec I'm after, I've found it a little difficult to find a price
comparison site (for laptops) that allows me to filter on what I need.
So I thought I see if I could get any suggestions from you guys.
My basic spec is:
CPU: must be dual core, 1.8GHz or better
RAM: 2GB or more
HDD: 120GB or more
Screen: 15.4" widescreen
Graphics: Preferably Intel or ATI [1]
Wireless: Preferably not Broadcom [1]
Optical drive: DVD +/- RW
[1] I want to dual boot Windows and Linux (Ubuntu) and despite plenty of
workarounds, these have always caused me the biggest headache.
I've seen a Lenovo R61 with most of my requirements, but with an nVidia
graphics card, for ã523, so I'm working on that being my budget.
Can anyone suggest other makes and models that might be worth looking
at. Or suggest a comparison site that would provide help hints as to
what alternatives there are out there.
Cheers,
Barbie.
