Title: Laptop
Post by: Hiatus on July 06, 2005, 15:32

Not sure where to post this, but I thought this would probably be the best place.

Anyways, I am looking to buy a laptop computer. I have had my eye on this one for awhile:

http://www.futureshop.ca/catalog/proddetail.asp?logon=&langid=EN&sku_id=0665000FS10059668&catid=22495

It seems to be quite nice specs-wise...I will obviously get rid of XP Home and install Slackware Linux, lol. The only problem is that it doesn't have built-in wireless. Although I do have a wireless card, I would prefer if the computer had it built-in.

Question: Anyone know of any other good deals on laptops? Preferably with similar specs? The computer doesn't need to have any software (OS, programs, etc.) installed, I can do that myself if need be. My price range is $2000.00 and lower. I'm hoping somebody knows a good (cheap) place to buy laptops, lol.

Thanks.

This could be difficult since you live in Canada... but we haven't given up quite yet!

Nevermind, I found a nice one on tigerdirect.ca.

It looks cool, and it seems like it will perform nicely. I'm probly gonna upgrade the RAM at some point, but other than that it is perfect. Hopefully I will be able to order it once i can deposit some more money into my account...
