I need a laptop for school. I'm gonna be using it for computer classes as well as game development, so I need like, 2 GB ram (DDR3 if possible, but i'll settle for DDR2), at LEAST a 2.0 processor, Ms Office student (or a cheap professional), Windows Vista (despite my hatred) (64 bit-perferred), 15-17 inch monitor, few hour battery MIN, and a "decent" video-card.
I've done some net crusiing and can't really decide who's laptop to buy so... SUGGESTIONS?
-
check out Dell.com (I know) you can customize it. Just PLEASE do not buy an HP, they are ass.
-
newegg.com will get you 3X the performance of a dell for 1/2 the price.

Lets try to avoid anything over 900.
And my current laptop toasts that one you called a "god machine".
BTW, my current laptop =
Pre-dell Alienware
1GB DDR3 Ram
512 GEforce 6800
100GB Hard Drive
duel 3.2 Ghz Pent 4 (Duel meaning both are 3.2ghz opposed to DUO which means one is super-fast the other is 1/2 as fast).
17 inch monitor of badassness
-
better processor but only 1GB RAM compared to 4GB and my graphics card is like like 3X as good as yours.
under 900$

Again,
DUO= 2 PROCESSORS. One is just slower then the other.
Also, I don't need anything more then basic Vista. I don't even fucking LIKE vista.
