Value Notebooks?

[kris]

I need to purchase a notebook computer within the next 1-2 days. I am willing to spend upwards of $1,000 depending on the qualities of the notebook. I have found a $849 one on US.Dell.com that has over 2 GHZ and some other nice amenities, but I wanted to see if anyone else knew of a better place to check them out.

If you're going Wintel, get a Centrino chipset. Longer battery charge. There is a little sticker on the area below the keys to indicate if the notebook is Centrino or not.

Dell 9300 is hot right now but might be more than your looking 4.

If you want to play games get a 9300 with a Nvidia 6800 256 GO PCI-E chipset.

If it's just for windows and typing.. watching pr0n or dvd's then you can get the one with X300 64meg

I like Thinkpads, check ebay for the T series.

I wouldn't really call a 1K dollar notebook a value notebook, the four to five hundred dollar notebooks are the value line.
