November 28, 200817 yr Suddenly I found out I have to buy a laptop this year, to get a quarter refund from the state. Because I was normally going to buy it roughly next summer, I need quick advice. The most important points are: 1. Longetivity 2. Performance (not gaming-oriented*) 3. WiFi with at least WPA1 support is a must 4. Bluetooth support would be an advantadge 5. No lame 1.3Mpix webcams (actually, I don't need one at all) 6. Precompiled laptops can be suggested 7. No netbooks *The graphics card should be oriented to longetivity only, as I'm not going to play the newest and coolest and blah blah games with crappy european OpenGL engines. Oh just don't remind me of Nival Interactive's DirectX engine [HoMM5 with all add-ons]. Let's just leave that an epic failure of all gaming history (compared to NCSoft's DirectX engine, huge difference in quality (a lot better) available on a gradually weaker computer). I would spend 1150 = 1450$. Thank you in advance. R.I.P. oO000oO0oO00, RS2 range pure transformed to a maxed PvM char in EoC, ten years of time completely wasted.Good to be gone :)
November 28, 200817 yr please do not suggest ones with Vista Why not? All computers come with vista new now. I'd suggest a Dell Inspiron. Within this category there are a few choices and customizations the rest is up to you. [iNSERT "I R EATIN TEH SHIX ATM" BILL COSBY SIGNATURE GIF HERE, LOL]
November 28, 200817 yr http://store.apple.com/us/browse/home/s ... co=MTE3MjA 1. Longetivity 4.5 hours of battery life on the integrated GPU 2. Performance (not gaming-oriented*) It does have a Nvidia GPU, and an Intel Core 2 Duo, with 2GB of RAM. 3. WiFi with at least WPA1 support is a must Built-in AirPort Extreme Wi-Fi wireless networking2 (based on IEEE 802.11n draft specification); IEEE 802.11a/b/g compatible 4. Bluetooth support would be an advantadge Built-in Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR (Enhanced Data Rate) 5. No lame 1.3Mpix webcams 2.0 built in webcam 6. If suggesting a precompiled (I don't know the exact word) laptop, please, please do not suggest ones with Vista Mac OSX 10.5 7. No netbooks Nope Not sure if you were looking at Macs, but they're sturdy and light (with the new way to create their laptops from a single block of aluminum). And if you don't like Vista, it's a perfect option.
November 28, 200817 yr please do not suggest ones with Vista Why not? All computers come with vista new now. I already know. Anyway, I would suggest Vista still, as from experience I can say Vista is faster and better than XP. I know I'm going to get flamed for this, but you Vista haters should try it before saying anything about it.
November 29, 200817 yr Perhaps this may be what you're looking for? The base model doesn't come with an OS. http://www.zepto.com/Shop/Notebook.aspx?notebookid=1075 "In the beginning, the universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move."
November 29, 200817 yr Author Perhaps it may be. I changed the requirements a little bit, now Vista is allowed; even I don't think I'm going to buy one with it, at least I can compare then.

November 29, 200817 yr Author Yes, I would prefer Windows. (I am also looking into LFS, but that's a different story) R.I.P. oO000oO0oO00, RS2 range pure transformed to a maxed PvM char in EoC, ten years of time completely wasted.Good to be gone :)
December 2, 200817 yr Author bump... Any suggestions? R.I.P. oO000oO0oO00, RS2 range pure transformed to a maxed PvM char in EoC, ten years of time completely wasted.Good to be gone :)
December 2, 200817 yr I would definitely look into getting a Dell. I'm honestly not sure where else ships to Lithuanian.
