[xxxmovierama]

i want to buy a notebook, but don't know which one...

i want to spend $850 and it should have a 40gb hdd and at least p4-1,7ghz or higher + some good graphics, sound, 256 mb ram and a cd- or dvd-writer.

please provide me with your offers and/or links to your products.

thanks so far, hope to business with you.

This one costs a little bit more than $850 but it is the best bang-for-your-buck notebook I've ever seen.

It has things like widescreen display, CD burner and 802.11G wireless (not the slower 802.11b that everybody else has). Basically this notebook would cost double from any other manufacturer. Plus it looks wicked slick.

And I'm not saying this just cuz I own one! :)

I doubt you'll get anything kick ass for under 850.
I have to recommend a higher end Toshiba notebook. And it is because I have one. It's been nothing but GOOD and worth every penny.

my friend had an emachine, always worked well for him, but i like my dell, makes me feel like all dells are probably pretty good ;)

and for about 950 bucks?

Well, you can calculate (at least here in Switzerland) the price for a notebook that has the same qualities as a desktop in this ration

1 (Desktop) : 1.5x-2x (Notebook)

wsjb will probably be able to recommend something for you better than me. Because I see you are in Germany...

Really cheap notebook?

Try a Buffalo 8-1/2 x 11, spiral bound, 200 pages, with holes that fits a standard binder.

It'll set you off about 2.49$.

Don't forget a pencil and an eraser (the peripherials, you know...).

:D

I am all about the toshibas and HP's with the Pentium...
I am hoping to pick up a toshiba for about 1500.00 this spring!

If you plan on keeping the computer for a longer period of time, then consider it a investment, and I think that when it comes to computers, its better to spend a little extra on it.

Toshibas new models are incredible, I love those..

They come in all kind of stripped down/beefed up versions, so make sure you check out each model in detail.

Sony got some good ones aswell.

Good luck!

Go for TOshiba satellite, you will have to put more money, but it will worth your investment. I just love my machine :)

really like my Dell Inspiron 5100, a little over $1,000, depending on what packages, software you get with it.
