Right here is the situation - i need a laptop for my college work and i have narrowed it down to these three. After Xmass i will have enough money for a seperate XP Pro OS so that i can connect to the wireless at college. I have chosen these as i can go and get them tomorrow from the stores. I know i could by XP pro with the laptop but the range is crappy and the specs arent nearly as good.
Each one has good and bad points so this is why i am asking... I will be using it for some office work and maybe some games (any that will play) and since there are a lot of plugs at my college batt life isnt THAT important - as long as it can last about 2 hours when doing office it doesnt matter. So here they are:
Option A -X2 turion 1.6GHz 120GB HDD 1GB RAM This has ATI X1100 graphics and has a 120GB HDD for all that data. Its the cheapest one and it will take me less time to save for a new XP Pro - Downside is that its the lowest spec.
Option B -X2 turion 2.0GHz Geforce 6100 graphics This ones highlights are the fact that it has a 17" monitor for any work i need to do so i can clearly see it and it has a faster processor. Downside is that it will be a bit heavier than the 15.4" ones...
Option C -X2 Turion 1.6GHz processor ATI X1300 graphics This one has better graphics than the last ones and so would play games smoother, but it has a slower processor. 8O
So what do ya think? Any help will be much apreciated!
