Laptop.

[Shlup]

Just tell me what laptop to get. Don't question me. I'll kill you.

Priorities:
1) Less than $600; $400 is good.
2) Smaller = better
3) Pretty
4) Doesn't need to be for gaming

I can't get away with playing PSP and DS in classes anymore so I'm ordering a laptop like yesterday.

My Inspiron 6000 was in that price range and it works great.

[Shlup]

Must've been on sale 'cause it's over $600 now.

My Inspiron 6000 was in that price range and it works great.

O-o; My parents paid about 1700$ CDN for mine, including tax and extended warranty.

[Shlup]

I don't like you anymore.

EDIT: To Xaven.

stolen laptops. Buddy got a 19 inch laptop for $250 xD the thing is maxed out.

[rih29]

Oh, thats right, it was on sale and we had a discount coupon.

I don't know any minorities.

EDIT: To Bert. Dammit.

I don't think you can get a good laptop for less than 600 when you throw in an extra battery/a longer lasting battery and a decent warranty. If it really only needs to be for web browsing and Word, maybe. Possibly one of these, but that price is without the warranty or a few upgrades that would make it a decent system. Really, with Dual Core processors the main thing on the market now and Quad Cores on the way, you're going to be buying outdated technology at that price.

[Shlup]

There was a decent one for $350 (before $100 in upgrades) but I missed that sale. Damn me.

[rih29]

Try looking on eBay.

Take a look at these, these, and these. Refurbished is likely your best bet, and I think newegg and tigerdirect are pretty reliable; though I've never bought refurbished things before, so make sure to read the fine print and be wary.

They are making some for $100 I saw, they have a pull start and for every minute of pulling is 10 minutes of power xD.

The site doesn't say anythign about teh specs but, it's a 333 mhz processor I believe, 512 MB internal memory xD a wirless card of sorts and a swivel screen. has USB 2.0 ports for external HD space. It also runs on some sort of Linux port form what I hear.

I don't know how my professors'll feel about me pull-starting my laptop in class every ten minutes. xD
