Find me a laptop!!

[matthewd]

I have up to 1700.00 to spend and I was wondering if someone knew a place or company where I could find a notebook with the following specs in the above price range? Thanks

15inch screen or above
1.73 ghz centrino M processor and up or other processor with similar performance
1 gig memory
radeon 9800 256 mb or geForce 6800 graphics card
40 gig harddrive and up

u like this one?

ya that looks good but it might be a little over your budget

ok I have it configured around the 6800 graphics card. However I have to sacrifice either the cpu to 1.6 ghz with 1 gig ddr2 memory. or 1.73 ghz cpu with 512mb ddr2 memory.
Which would make the biggest performance difference, the cpu upgrade or the memory upgrade.

yeah the dell 9300 will be your best bet for that use coupon code NSHFXB?R6$BSD2 to get $750 off laptops over $1999 (the crossed off price) expires in 4 days but they come out with this just about every week so check rr when you are ready to buy

also i reccomend sticking with the basic 256 mem and upgrading yourself

yep, I agree, dell and most other OEMs rip people off with RAM and other components. RAM is really easy to isntall/upgrade, so you should always go lowest on RAM when buying a custom OEM PC.

they both put crappy graphics cards in them. You would need a customized PC if you want good graphics, because they put crappy graphics cards to lower the cost and make them more attractive.
