Purchasing a laptop

[Network67]

I'm interested in buying a laptop for home use/multimedia. with a nice size glossy screen,wireles internet ect.... I've been going over different brand names and features, a bit confusing. I'm thinking HP, but what model ? I don't want to spend over $900 Cdn. Any suggestions?

Thsnks......

Suggestion, wait a week or two.

In 2 days Intel is releasing it's new mobile platform, Centrino 2. The new processors alone will be faster and use about 30% less power. It includes extras like Wireless N and WiMax.

Even if the new Centrino 2's are more than $900 CDN, everyone should be trying to dump their old Centrino 1 spec systems. So you might be able to get a really good deal on one. If you can, wait a month or so after the Centrino 2 systems come out.

my freind has this computer, i have the model before it, im VERY satisfied with it.

HP - Pavilion Laptop with AMD Turion™ X2 Dual-Core Mobile Processor TL-60 - dv9925nr

this is the link for the 900 dollar one, you can also get the same computer without the webcam and microphone and with less features for about 650$:
HP - Pavilion Laptop with AMD Turion™ 64 X2 Dual-Core Mobile Technology TL-60 - dv2807nr

i HIGHLY recommend it, but if you decide to get it, check out some other websites because i just gave those links so u could see the product features and the picture and the rating.

check out ConsumerReports.org - Find Product Reviews and Ratings from Consumer Reports as well, if you have a subscription

hope this helps you
