Hello. I am looking for a new laptop and I would like some of your guys' expert advice.
Few things here to help narrow it down.
Thinking of a Dell or Macbook, or any other company that will alow me to make monthly payments. I am a student and I have a budget.
It will be used for mostly schoolwork, while working at my security job. I have spurts of downtime so even watching dvds is possible. I am looking for something light weight, and most likely with a 15" monitor. I want it to have wireless access too so I can take it with me to places with networking. I want it to be Vista compatible. Something that doesn't get too hot would be nice too.
Activities I can think of that I will be doing most with it:
MS Word (or other Office apps)
Watching dvds
Surfing the net
Gaming ( but only as the upgrades allow me to, I don't want to spend money to focus on gaming (but, if a video card upgrade would help Vista performace then I would want it).
That's about it!
My budget is anywhere from 600-1000$. I want something that will last me for at least 3 years. I won't be doing any burning or anything of that nature, I have my home computer for that.
Few of my choices right now:
nspiron E1505

the macbook

I hear good things about Acer, but newegg doesn't have monthly payments that I know of.
Thanks in advance!
