New laptop
After only a year my second laptop gave way.. I opened the case and the case around the monitor snapped in half.. can't get warrenty to fix it and no one around here has the spare parts.. so I got a new one. I think it was time for an upgrade anyways.
I went a completly different route this time, I went with an Intel Core 2 Duo T7500 and nVidia GeForce 8600M GS. AMD does not have a mobile cpu to compete with the core 2 and there is a lack of 15.4" laptops with a decent ATi chipset.. . I don't like Dell, Compaq, HP or Gateway.. So my options were very limited.. I'm to picky. I found the PERFECT laptop for my needs, an Asus F3SV-B1 from GenTec: http://1toppc.com/Merchant2/merchant...t_Code=F3SV-B1 Specs: 15.4" WSXGA+ 1680X1050 Color Shine (Wish they had the matte screen!!) Intel Core 2 Duo T7500 2.2 GHz 4MB 800 FSB (Santa Rosa) GeForce G8600M GS 256MB up to 1G/DX10 4GB DDRII 667 Kingston Ram (2x 2GB) Seagate Momentus 7200.2 160GB 7200rpm SATAII 1GB Intel Turbo Memory Card 1.3MP Webcam 8 x DVD-RW Dual Layer Super Multi DVD/Burner Intel® PRO/Wireless 4965 802.11 a/b/g/n Air Plane/Car Adapter 7 in 1 Card Reader Bluetooth Fingerprint Reader Finally a keyboard that has the large left shift key and the CTRL key on the far bottom left! I cannot believe how much thoes annoyed me on my other laptop. It was impossible to program with.
