im finally getting a laptop. i havnt had one since sixth grade, and i've been very mobile lately and that will only get worse as time goes on since i have no school.



i have done lots of searching, i have narrowed it down to two models.


i dont need a ultra1337superfastmegapwnage system, i need something relatively small yet capable of holding music, getting on the net, cam/voice chat, instant messaging, etc. no gaming, no video editing, maybe the occasional pic edit or music conversion to syn up an ipod/zune but other than that, just basic stuff.




naturally, my needs would suggest a netbook/eee pc. oh, my budget is ~300$. here's what i got:

whatcha guys think?

[heleos]

MSI Wind's are really nice. I can't vouch for the other

[`[G]enesis]

yeah, as far as reviews go.. that is what the general consensus seems to be.


i am strongly leaning towards the wind, since the retail is more [the actual price is lower], it seems to be a better quality machine.


plus the reviews are all 5/5 lol

[heleos]

PLUS it runs linux flawlessly

[NotAHax]

I'd go with the MSI.

The specs are almost all the same but the MSI looks much more sleeker, other one looks too big.
Plus it weighs less which I think is worth it if your going for a 10inch screen.

$10 more for a better laptop imo.

[kao]

@ MSI , i have my pc MSI , its good.

[`[G]enesis]

@ notahax, the reviews are also OUTSTANDING for the msi, there isnt a single review for the other book... thats a major factor imo.


@ kao, your the second person to tell me that

[Peter^_^]

MSI go go go!

[`[G]enesis]

my dad might lend me the money to buy it :O


but i'll be working with him so he'll just get it back after every job hahaha

[Peter^_^]

Tell me how it plays 1.6 and I may consider getting it for me.

[`[G]enesis]

yo check it, i found this one...

Processor: Intel Pentium Dual-Core T2410 2.0GHz
RAM: 2GB RAM
HDD: 160GB HDD
Optical: DVDRW
Screen: 14" WXGA

Dimensions: 13x9

shits bomb, 400$

[Peter^_^]

Looks sick , but the

   

Intel Graphics Media Accelerator X3100

is the only thing from keeping me from buying it right damn now ! lol.

[`[G]enesis]

it will play cs


ill show you when i get it hahah.


the 2gb and dual core processor will make up what it lacks in gpu

[Peter^_^]

400 dollars eh?

I'll look into it ;]


edit: btw , that's a sexxy looking laptop

[`[G]enesis]

well, i have been gaming on it for a couple days.. i love it.


worth every penny... the webcam is awesome high quality, the battery is great, its small, doesnt heat up too much, very fast [once i got rid of vista]


so far i have run c&c ra2/yuri's revenge, gta sa/vice city, all hl1 mods including cs1.6 (30-60 fps very stable except when there are nades flying all over)



for anyone who is looking for a good laptop capable of gaming, i recommend this. i love mine :]
