I would like to get a laptop, but I am not sure. I have been reccomended the MS-1036, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to buy it anytime soon... Anyways, here's what I would like:
MS-1036 BareboneS-1036 Barebone
AMD Turion MT37 (2.0 GHz, 1MB L2 Cache)
2 x Corsair 512 MB PC3200 CL2.5 RAM
Toshiba 100GB 16MB Buffer ATA-6 HD
MSI MP54GBT2 Mini PCI Bluetooth & IEEE 802.11b/g
Logitech MX518 Optical Mouse
Then, I'd like to get a case, maybe this Targus (I have a Targus backpack, very pleased with it):
Targus 17" CityGear Miami Messenger Notebook Case
My questions:
1. Any reccomendations?
2. How good would this laptop be in June (this year)? I might not be able to get until then.
3. How good is the X700 Mobility 256 MB? How well will it fare with next-gen games?
4. What battery life can I expect for simple use (web browsing, word processing, etc.) and gaming?
Thanks in advance
