A good laptop?

[avastluckyman]

Hey mice chat. i posted about laptops a while back but now im getitng serious and actually close to buying.

I was looking at bestbuy and of course saw the cheapest one tere and looked at the specs. seemed to be the same as one thats over $1200 and this one is $599.95.

Its an Acer Aspire AS3680-2354 with a 14.1" screen - Intel Celeron M 520.
1.60GHz. has a webcam, mic, speakers, Wi-Fi, and all the basics.
In the link below it has all the specs

one downside.. VISTA.
I'll take XP pro off my desktop and put my extra copy of home on it, and put the pro on the laptop.


this is just for everyday vmk/msn and micechat oh and for watching movies and listening to music

Im a tech guy and stuff but just wanna see what you guys think about this and acer's laptops thx

I played with vista yesterday and it wasn't that bad. It seemed a bit slow, but not that bad...

Vista isn't as bad as some people claim. It was just released before it was really ready for the public. But from what I've heard, early next year, Microsoft is releasing a patch/service pack thing that will fix a lot of the bugs people have been complaining about. Pretty much like how they did with XP when they finally released SP2.

A good laptop? Pffft hands down, MacBook. Even though they cost a fortane. Well I like them because I'm really into graphic designing, photography, and making movies :croll:

Wow - that's exactly what I do without any problems using (GASP!) a PC...

I guess it's not the machine, it's the person using it.
