hello every one i am looking to by a new laptop. my T22 cannot cut it anymore. i want to keep it under 675 USD. any ideas??????? i am looking for something on the small side (under 15'' screen). I dont want too much from it only using it for torrents, skype, aim, surfin' the web and a little music (its on my network drive).
i also would be dual booting ubuntu 8.04 and win XP no vista. Also i web cam would be great but i dont want it to increase the price a ton. for specs i guess
-160 or 180 gig HDD
-1 or 2 gigs of ram
-wireless G or N
- CD/DVD burner
- for the processor i am not sure what i can get for the price if its dual core i will be happy i really dont care AMD or intel.
if you guys/gals know of any just write because my T22 is growing in age (about 9 almost 10 years old)
but my teacher has an acer and he says that the "Built-in touchpad pointing device with 4-way scroll key" is a pain in the ass.
i am going to see if my local computer store has it (they match online prices) and check to see if it all works with ubuntu
I'm up in middle-of-nowhere upstate (Utica/Rome area), there are just no good deals in person around here. I actually just ordered a laptop from Dell Business.
15.4" anti-glare display
AMD Athlon 64 X2 1.9Ghz
1GB DDR2 RAM
integrated ATi Express 1150 graphics
80GB HDD
WinXP Home
CD burner/DVD-ROM drive
integrated 802.11g
for ~$450. If interested at all, just look up the Dell Vostro series, they're all really customizable through the website.

That's part of the reason I ordered from Dell Business...Until the 20th, they're giving you the option to picking XP as the included OS, and it's probably a nice, clean, clutter-free installation because it's meant for Business use.
