<p>I'm mostly gonna use this for writing/journalism/web browsing, but i need one with a pretty good speed, light, good/decent memory.</p>
<p>Does this kind of laptop even exist?
I want the faster speed,plus the lightweight and long battery, but all the laptops i've seen that have those features also have bunch of gaming/DVD/music burning/graphics features that i'll NEVER, EVER, use, and plusthe raise the price ofthe laptop to over1,500! Does this kind of laptop exist or am i dreaming?</p>
<p>i posted this also in anotherthread, but i figured parents would have more info</p>
<p>Through <a href="http://www.refurbdepot.com%5B/url%5D">www.refurbdepot.com</a> , I got a Compaq Presario XL 1130, with 80 meg drive, 3 USB ports (I actually use them), CD/DVD play, CD write, 1 meg memory, 4.5 hour batter, 15.4" screen, wireless Internet, for $1,000. Weighs in at 6.5 lbs though. My uses are the same as yours - I'm a writer. Mine was to replace the desktop, and I wanted the larger screen even if it is a bit heavier. GREAT keyboard.</p>
<p>You can get Averetecs with weights in the four-bound range, and various screeen sizes, and meeting all your needs, from them at prices in the $750-$900 range.</p>
<p>check out the advertisements in today's newspapers. Here in SoCal, several places have early bird specials at 6:00 am tomorrow. For example, one local retailer has a Toshiba 330, Celeron M processor, 1.4GHz speed, 256 DDR SDRAM, 15" screen, 40GB hardisk, DVD/CD-RW, all for $499 after intstant rebate! Don't know about battery life, but at that price you could buy a second batt and still be under your price point.</p>
<p>Went through this earlier this year. At lower price points Toshibas get the nod for most reliable, with Compaq and HP scoring for features/speed per dollar.</p>
<p>Toshiba's make very very very nice laptops.. that 500 dollar laptop will behave better than a 1000 dollar dell laptop.. Toshiba's work very well, and around this time of year they are very affordable. I got mine at this time last year for like 600 dollars off regular price. I'd reccomend them to anybody.</p>
