I you have a few minutes to spare here, I would like your advise.
Which Gateway notebook is the most reliable out of their current offerings
and the ones on their remanufactured page? And, should I definitely get the
3 year warranty?
Are their any I should steer clear from?
I'd like to stick with a Centrino or Pentium 4-M processor. The straight
Pentium 4's just draw to much current, things get to hot and battery life
suffers.
I've decided that built-in/integrated graphic cards will be fine, I'll use
my desktop for gaming. Hopefully the majority of these built-in/integrated
graphic cards will be sufficient for watching DVD's if I choose to go with
one of their many different CD/DVD combo players/writers?
Looking to fork out maybe a few dollars more than $1500. They all for the
most part seem to have the options I would like in all of their base
systems. ie.. usb, cdrom, parallel port, Li-Ion Battery, 10/100 Eth., PC
Card/ PCMCIA. I suppose I don't need a floppy drive anymore. Bootable CD's
seem to do pretty much the same thing and hold a hell of a lot more info
these days : ) Can't write to it(CD) from a C:\ prompt though, don't really
see why I would need to though really.
Screen size is not nearly as important inasmuch quality and reliability are.
Is one LCD design/size better than another?
20-40 gig HD is more than ample.
512mb of memory is probably, no definitely a good idea.
WinXP Pro would be nice but not critical in case I decide to run Dreamweaver
MX to work on my site which I probably will.
CD or DVD writing will again take place on the available XP Home desktop.
Weight I'm not concerned with, I mean, it should weigh less than say, 10
pounds.
MS Works will go in the trash, I've got Office 2K SBE.
Uhm.. lets see, what else?
I guess that's pretty much it, at least everything that's of most
importance.
What do you think? Tell me.
Thank you for your time,
Ty
