Whats the best laptop for the money? (<$1600)
My sights are set on the Toshiba Satellite 3005-S307. CompUSA is selling it for the best price: $1499.
Dell.
You won't find a really good Dell for under $1600, especially considering shipping.
Sony VAIO Notebook with Mobile AMD Athlon™ 4 Processor 1.2GHz
Model: PCG-FXA48
$1499
is that a good machine?
Is the Athlon 4 as fast as a P4?
Yes, faster actually...1.2 will eat a 1.6 P4 for breakfastQuote:

Would have preferred Dell's on-site service, and had a technician come to my house 1 or 2 days later instead...
Thanks for the feedback.
Toshiba does look like the most economic.
