Re: laptops
sighz but there's all these friggin models in toshiba and dell..which one is good :-/
Re: laptops
chorni, you can get one of those which looks like a laptop but is actually a calculator. Suits your level of expertise. You can find one in toys-r-us. Now, no need to thank me.
Re: laptops
depends!!! what do you want to use it for…? IMHO… I would recommend either IBM (R and T series) or Dell (any model). If you are leaning towards Toshiba then go for TECRA. Had a worse experience with HP/Compaq not buying their notebooks anymore, hence, not recommended either.
Re: laptops
yeah chorni I agree with CB on this one, which is very rare… now CB also tell her which shelf she should look into and what make you find the best??
Re: laptops
Here u go: Dell 700m (Computers, Monitors & Technology Solutions | Dell USA)
Re: laptops
yea Cb how thoughtful, im sure you speak from experience anyways. if it can suit you then who am i to question it 
IMHO? 
for toshiba, someone recommended Toshiba Satellite

lol 
yea actually someone recommended dell700m and/or 600m
but 700m is smaller yea?
Re: laptops
Toshiba is very good.
I would prefer to get it from a store than from Dell, only because if it breaks down, you'd have to ship it and it'll take time before you could actually get it back.
Whatever, you go for, please get extended full-coverage warranty. It'll come handy.
