Trying to find a relatively cheap laptop.
Well I've finally saved enough up to get a replacement laptop.
Old one hasn't even had a functional battery for nearly 3 years now.
This will just be a portable computer for me, it won't need to game or anything. Price and reliability are more the point here. It will more than likely be expected to play a lot of hd video though. So must have HDMI (though most do these days)
For some idea what kind of stuff I'm looking at, here's what I just finished looking at before posting here.
Newegg.com - DELL Vostro 469-1144 Notebook Intel Core i3 370M(2.40GHz) 15.6" Wide XGA 3GB Memory DDR3 1333 250GB HDD 5400rpm DVD±R/RW Intel HD Graphics
Price is not fixed, I'd like to stay at 500 US or less though.
