Posted March 8, 200519 yr comment_447508 Anyone got the goods on where the best deals are at and what the best models are? Brick and mortar or internet store? Usage would proabably be storage for music, class projects, and other non-gaming type stuff, but if it could play a decently advanced game that'd be fine as well. 512MB of SDRAM is a must. Helping my cousin do a little shopping. Best place I've found so far is tigerdirect.com Deals: eMachines M2350 Notebook PC - Refurbished eMachines M2350 AMD Athlon XP-M 2800+(1.8GHz) / 802.11g Wireless / 15.4-inch WXGA / 512MB DDR / 60GB HDD / CD-RW/DVD Combo / Windows XP Home / Refurbished Notebook PC Only $699.99* Compaq Presario 2209CL Notebook PC - Refurbished Compaq Presario 2209CL Intel Celeron M 1.4GHz / 802.11b-g Wireless / 15-inch XGA / 512MB DDR / 60GB HDD / CD-RW/DVD Combo / Windows XP Home / Refurbished Notebook PC Only $749.99 Acer TravelMate TM2203LCi-XPH Notebook PC Acer TravelMate TM2203LCi-XPH Intel Celeron 335 2.8GHz / 802.11b-g Wireless / 15-inch XGA / 256MB DDR / 40GB HDD / CD-RW/DVD Combo / Windows XP Home / Notebook PC Only $699.99 As of now I'm leaning towards the refurbished emachines Link to comment https://www.marlinsbaseball.com/topic/25763-laptop/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

March 8, 200519 yr comment_447512 I have a Dell Inspiron 600m and am loving it. One thing you need to find out is how much they weigh. Lugging heavy laptops back and forth sucks.

Lugging heavy laptops back and forth sucks. 705626[/snapback] frankly, i dont care about weight personally. i've lugged stuff much heavier than laptops around before. but ya, getting the weight is generally a good idea.

I'm not getting it for a desktop replacement, just a suppliment that I can watch dvd's from, play some cheezy games, do some work and get online when I'm away from home.

March 11, 200519 yr comment_447523 Don't purchase anything from TigerDirect with rebates. 706851[/snapback] why? 706969[/snapback] You won't see your rebate money. Go to the BBB (Better Business Bureau website) & see how many complaints are there on TigerDirect, trust me, TigerDirect Rebates is always a no-no. You can check for deals on a website such as forums.anandtech.com although you won't see any TigerDirect deals there, with rebates atleast.
