New Laptop or Netbook

Im looking for a new one. Any suggestions? Preferably from Dell.

PREFERABLY from dell?!!? I'm sorry, I will not help you commit suicide.

Try Lenovo. I got one from my Father, which he got as a free gift for buying a new set of computers for his company. And its a net book, yet you can install CS4, but requires an external hard disk or a thumb drive to carry the exe files for executing the desired program. Or buy an external CD drive. pretty small and handy too!

I will not buy an external cd/dvd drive. DW other than sell what do you suggest (in the fairly low price range)(and dont think i would buy it and then leave it the way it is. I will be installing Ubuntu and that solves most problems.)

Acer are good for value and reliable.

Im not sure if they do or not, but if they do make them, try Hewlett-Packard. They're pretty good.

Yes, HP has my stamp of approval. And Ta'u, even if you install Ubuntu, that doesn't prevent the hardware failures that Dell are notorious for

HP is not the cheapest option, however.

I have some suggestions, just how much are you willing to pay. (DW, you just called leach Ta'u, missing the Starwars RPG are we?)

Go with HP... if any

yes DW i do understand that ubuntu will not fix hardware issues. ill look at some Acer's and HP's. Also DW could you change my name on the earth link forum to Leach54

Bad news is i have to wait until Christmas. Good news is. I found the one i want from hp.

Good luck! You knowe how any present receiving days will come out.

Child: Can I have the 1500 dollars laptop for christmas?
Mother: Yes
***CHRISTMAS***
Mother: I'm not wasting 1500 dollars.

its not that bad and their only paying for probably $280. Which means i need some money.

Major update, so i can get some screaming deals with dell now so i'm looking at getting this.

with a few updates on ram, processor, HDD, and operating system.

$2432?? How is that even possible??

actually after i customize it to $3000 i can get a deal thats around $550.

Oh, phew. But I'm still not sure whether you could get it cheaper somewhere else.

How about this even? it's cheaper because it has no OS, but you use linux anyway.

Yup, and in these days, nothing is worth anything without "multi touch screen tablet capabilities", eh?

*swears at Steve Jobs*

laptops can be very exspensive my sisters was like $1,500

actually, he wasn't the first one to do it (i think). And yes, nothing is good enough. And yes, i dislike Steve jobs.

Why would you want to touch the screen? It's a laptop, not a phone.

Exactly. You will just get alot of fingerprints on the screen.

And NEVER USE INTEL CELERON.

Btw I'm secretly looking for one too.

if i get into graphic arts, touch screen is nice. My friend just bought one of these and its so crazy awesome. and i can clean the screen off.

Use a drawing Tablet like me.

But there is not Edit undo in a drawing tablet

Yes, there is. ctrl+z

you could try http://configure.us.dell.com/dellstore/config.aspx?c=us&cs=19&l=en&oc=dkcwqt1&s=dhs if you can afford it... If you're ability to turn a $3,000 dollar computer into a $550 dollar sale can be extended to it then I would HIGHLY recommend it.

You cant get good deals on those. But why would you want to. 2 reasons Way Overpriced for a machine with those specs, and two, all you are paying for is the paint. + I am not a gamer and don't need a gaming machine.

Oh, and next time. Dont necro a topic
