I will be traveling to Atlanta in a couple weeks for business and I'm right in the middle of two websites. Not working on them, for the 4 days I will be there will severly hinder my productivity.

So I will be purchasing a laptop before I go. Any suggestions?

Some necessities:

• Intel Core Duo (or equivalent)
• 15.4" Widescreen
• Wireless + bluetooth
• 60GB 7200 RPM Hard drive
• CD/DVD+- RW
• 512MB of RAM (Would like a gig, but it's cheaper to buy it with 512 and add another 512)
• Video (don't really care...just going to use it for photoshop, PHP/HTML, Flash, watching movies, general internet usage, etc...)

Found a decent deal on a Dell 1505 for $699, as configured $783 (before tax).

Would like to keep cost down to a minimum.

Thanks :happysad:

 

I just got an Acer Aspire 3004 for $550 from www.tigerdirect.com

It's an AMD 3100+ cpu, more than enough and everything else except bluetooth. Which sucks anyway so who cares.

I'd recommend it.

 

I can give you an employee discount code from my company to use on the Dell site. it might save you some cash.
