That's what I could find on it. |
One place to like to save a little $ is the hard drive. With external hard drives so cheap (just saw a 500GB for $119) I try to keep the hard drive a little lower. Also makes transferring files between computers when you get a new one easier.
I like that you have the AMD Athlon. My last computer had the Athlon, and my current laptop also has the Athlon 64. I've always read good things concerning the Athlon vs. the Pentium.
My problem is I can't find a laptop with a 17" or larger monitor with the Athlon anymore. HP (my preferred brand for my next laptop) doesn't have it anyway. From a little digging it seems the AMD Turion is equal to the Athlon, only designed for laptops. Anyone else know if that's true? When I purchased my current laptop 2+ years ago there was no Turion, only the Athlon and Sempron.
I built a laptop on HP's website to my specifications (same as I did with my current one when I bought it) and it came to just over $1500 for everything I'd want. Not too bad really considering my current laptop was just over $1200 when I got it. $300 more for an even better laptop is understandable.
But I'm hoping not to have to get another laptop for at least another year or so. This one is still working fine for now.
