Buying a computer, It needs to be a Laptop.

 

 

 

It needs to be under 1,000USD and be semi-efficient.

 

 

 

All I'll be doing on this is School/Work Stuff, and playing RuneScape, I might even do a little bit of iTunes.

 

 

 

What should I buy?

This is a nice laptop, especially if you throw in this memory so you will have 2 gig's for vista.

 

 

 

 

 

That will place you right around the ~1,000 mark.

Awesome laptop Nadril. It has an hd-dvd drive too. The only thing is if he wants to upgrade his memory most of the time laptops with 1GB is that it's 2x 512MB sticks so he will have to replace all of the memory.

Hah I'll be damned, it does have an HD DVD drive... awesome.

 

 

 

 

 

anyways if you need another cheap 2 gigs to replace this looks like a damn good deal. 30 bucks after rebate for 2 gigs!

Uh, yea I don't really like Vista. So, I might downgrade any preloaded operation system, if that is possible.

Why the dislike for Vista?

 

 

 

I mean you can downgrade if you want, doesn't really mater... but why does it?

That'd be an excellent choice for what the OP wants it for. It looks pretty nice for the money too! Couple it with that RAM and you're away, really.

 

 

 

I also agree with Nadril on the dislike for Vista - it's really not as bad as everyone says it is. A lot of it is purely rumours made up and spread around the internet. The only reason that I was forced to downgrade was driver trouble. Stay with Vista - you might like it.

Or he could just buy one 2GB stick and use it along with one of the 512MB stick that's already there.

Well, I previously had a Sony Vaio w/ Vista and it was really slow. Don't know whether if it was the Vaio or Vista =\

It was the vaio. Honestly if you don't have 2 gig's of ram with vista its going to be a bit iffy.
