Curb Zone - View Single Post - In the market for a new laptop

Giannis · 05-08-2007, 06:56 AM

Thanks guys for your feedback.

1) i want a 17' screen, because at work i have a Neovo 19' monitor which is very helpfull since i use mostly designing programs, but at home i have a 15' Sony screen, which is better than the Neovo, but hell small and it's getting on my nerves. So the laptop has to be bigger than 15' so 17 is my choise!

2) Biggest mobility is not my problem. I only want to be able to take the laptop with me at work every now and then, and take with me in bed or in living room

3) It has to be top-notch and top-quality since i have much high expectations from it and i want it to last for long enough. I have my current desktop computer since 2001 or 2002 and will keep it for at least two years more, and i am not planning to change the laptop soon enough.

4) I also play games, and have thousants of mp3 and movies so a huge HD is a must!

5) Gene: Santa Rosa Platform? I am not very deep into computers, so i don't understand much. I want/need the laptop in June, no matter if the new platform is availiable here!

6) NarutoRamen: It will cost me around 2.800eur and another 200eur for some small updates for my current desktop, such as a new HD, USB 2.0 ports and 2Mbps Wireless modem/ADSL

7) Luwalira: As said before, i will take it to work every now and then. So the weight is not my first criteria!

8) It's gonna be Sony. No question about it. I don't know why, but i am stuck with sony when it comes to laptops

------
Oh, and something else guys. I want to build a wireless network in the house. Which means i want to connect three computers (my desktop, my laptop, gf's laptop) via LAN, with a wireless modem/router/whatever is called. AND I want to connect the PC with the TV and stereo system. Is that possible? I think that i found something that makes it possible. Any suggestions?

PS: Do you have any specific Laptop model to offer, that is equilevant to the Vaio i'm thinking of?

Thanks again boys! I really appreciate this!
