Randy Twizzle Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 If it's any help, I've owned a Compaq Presario laptop for almost 3 years and it's always worked fine for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Free For All Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 Vista for me has been a real drag. I may see about putting XP back onto my notebook. Just until I make my switch to a Mac Book Pro in a couple months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Garrett Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 I've been looking at laptops recently, as I'm probably going to be getting one for my wife soon. My requirements as far as specs were 2GB RAM, >120GB hard drive, DVD burner, and a dual-core CPU. You can get something matching these specs for $500-600 if you shop around - most of the big-box stores have had different machines in this price range on sale each of the past few weeks. Best Buy in particular has had some attractive deals, and you frequently don't have to screw around with mail-in rebates there, as you get the discount right at the point of sale. The downside is that you're pretty much stuck with Vista on the new machines. I'd greatly prefer XP, but I've heard reports of mixed results from those who've tried to "downgrade" Vista to XP.
