    Laptop brands?

    I'm in the market for a cheap laptop.
    will be used for wordprocessing, getting email on the run,
    and some various number crunching activites.
    no games, no multimedia, just basic office duties.

    I'm trying to stay around $1000 maybe $1200.

    does anyone have any brand suggestions?
    Dells(of course) and it looks like toshibas are up there...

    I know how to spec out a desktop (I just read JB's (justin is it?) posts),
    but what should I look for, for a notebook?
    I've read compter shoppers suggestions, but I just don't trust
    those guys. hehe.

    P.s., has anyone ever seen/had a gateway laptop? just curious.
    Merry Christmas

    WinBook is cheap but their reliability is questionable...Comcrap is cheap for a reason.

    The gateway laptops are reasonably priced and
    seem much more configurable than other brands...

    we've got a Gateway country right down the road,
    I think I"ll check them out.

    Anyone got a gateway laptop?
    Merry Christmas

    DELL has laptops for about $1100... That's not bad(1GHz, 10GByte[I think])...

    My company has Dells, Winbooks, and Toshibas - and I've only seen problems with the Toshibas.

    I have books for sale: "MCSD in a Nutshell" and "VB Distributed Exam Cram" - PM me for details. Will also trade for a decent ATX Pentium 2 MB/CPU/RAM combo.
