[nabs-l] Questions About Getting New Laptop

[Bernadetta Pracon]

Kerri,
First of all, it depends on what you need to use the laptop for.
What functions do you need it to perform? Sometimes, spending a ton of 
money on a high end laptop when you only need it for basic purposes as 
opposed to, say, audio or video production, etc. is not the wisest 
idea. The portability of a laptop is also key if you'll be traveling 
with it a lot. Some of the higher end laptops are bigger and bulkier, 
because it's technically impossible to fit all the overglamourousbells 
and wistles into a smaller unit. That being said, smaller units, 
(13-inch - 14-inch laptops) can be very fastand stable as well. I don't 
mean  this about netbooks, by the way. Those clearly have slower 
processors, as you probably know, and are more suitable as a backup computer.
Tosheba, I heard, is actually not a great brand; I've seen a fewpeople 
get hosed on their laptops, actually. Although I will agree with 
whoever said that Sony is overpriced.
On that note, are you looking to buy abrand new computer,or would you 
be interested in a refurbished one? Going the refurbished rout is 
usually much cheaper, but still almost just as safe because the 
refurbished units have been serviced by the manufacturer right before 
they're sold and are in like-new working order.
In fact, I actually happen to have a fully refurbished sixty-four byt 
compatible laptop that I'm not using at all because I have a few other 
computers on hand; I wouldn't mind selling it if you're interested. I 
am fully aware that this list isn't one for sales pitches,and I'm not 
trying to use it as such--Just something that popped into mind. If 
you're interested and want more info on it, feel free to write me 
off-list at bernadetta_pracon at samobile.net.

HTH
