[nabs-l] Questions About Getting New Laptop

[Jorge Paez]

Maybe,
but I have had terrible experiences with Dell.
My last Dell gave me a blue screen of death after like 16 months, every time I logged into my account at random intervals with XP.

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.

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.
