I've a budget of $2,000.
Currently in mind is Acer Travelmate 4200. Looking for Acer only as other's cannot really fit my budget. Here's the laptop's spec.
Processor and Core Logic Intel® Core™ Duo Processor T2300 (1.66GHz,
667MHz FSB, 2MB L2 cache)
System Memory 1GB DDR II RAM (After free upgrade)
Display/Graphics 15.4" WXGA colour TFT LCD, 1280 x 800
Storage Subsystem 80GB HDD
DVD-Super Multi Double-Layer drive (DVD+/-RW)
Dimensions & Weight 358 (W) x 269 (D) x 29.8/33.8 (H) mm ,2.98kg
I/O Interface
# 4 x USB 2.0 ports
# 1 x PC Card slot (one Type II)
# 1 x External display (VGA) port
# 1 x Headphones/speaker/line-out jack with S/PDIF support
# 1 x Microphone/line-in jack
# 1 x Ethernet (RJ-45) port
# 1 x Modem (RJ-11) port
# 1 x DC-in jack for AC adapter
OS Preload
# Genuine Microsoft® Windows® XP Home
I basically play online games, do casual video editing, photo-shop and MS Office. I want a laptop over my desktop replacement so that I can bring along should I really decide to partner with my friend to do personalised printing and thus able to meet customer and design on the go. -
