Here's a quick review of my most recent laptop purchase.
About 2 months ago I purchased a Dell Inspiron 6400 with 1GB RAM, 1.83 GHz
processor, dual core, and 256MB ATI graphics card for just under $1800AUD
(you can do the conversion, but basically this is cheap around here for
those specs).
I run my laptop pretty hard outside of work (graphics-related hobby wherein
laptops have been known to melt) and so far (touch wood!), it's been
fantastic, couldn't be happier. I'd recommend considering a Dell.
Although admittedly the Toshiba Qosmio was way sexier, would have gotten
that if I could have afforded it, but I don't know how it would have
performed.
Cheers,
Trish :)
