My Dad recently was alotted 2k by his company for a new labtop. I know nothing about them or where to even start. So if you could point me in the right direction that'd be great. Just pretty much the best bang for buck, plus a semi to well known brand.


Thanks

If you want brand name and good quality i recommend this particualr computer from toshiba
A100 - SK9

I bought one for my mom for her business and its so much more computer then she will ever need. Excellent for multitasking, encoding, watching dvds and its also very quite.

Lol that's funny becasue thats what he has right now. My sisters and I got him a laptop for xmas and the one you mentioned is what we got him. I just figured since his company is going to let him get one and they are willing to give up to 2k, why not spend every $1. Good choice though :). I was looking at the other Toshiba..Quisomo or something. I was also looking at Alienware just for fun. I think it would be hilarious for him to bust that out at a meeting lol.

hmmm

the laptop i got was released here in canada in mid july just like a month ago.I dont know how you coulda got it for christmas of last year. unless it was released 8 months sooner where you live.

we cant be talking about the same toshiba comp.
the one we got has specs like

Intel® Core™ Duo processor T2500
2x512 MB DDR2 (667MHz)
120.0 billion bytes, 9.5mm height, S-ATA, 5400rpm.
Built-in DVD Super-Multi Double Layer Drive
Size (diagonal): 15.4” Wide XGA TFT with TruBrite™
NVIDIA® GeForce™ Go 7600 Graphics with 256MB DDR Video memory, PCI Express 16x

the core duo processor was not out anywhere last year at christmas, you probobly got a pentuim m chip in there.

yup. we paid 1799.99 + tax at future shop and got the 3 year warranty aswell.

oh yes and quasimo laptop is an enormous beast with a very nice screen, I cant imagine any business man lugging one around, however i have seen it as i work as an AV technition for corporate america and got a huge smile when mr CEO pulls out a quasimo.
