Laptop suggestions

[Chuck-17]

Let me know what you girls think of your Dell. I'm in the market for a new laptop too and am deciding what I want to get. I really want a MacBook but they are expensive and I could get the same specs on a Dell for cheaper. I'll be doing that with school money too! :)

The main problem you might have is the software. It can be a very large pain to get the software you have already bought to work on the mac and it really depends on what you want to do. There is nothing wrong with a MacBook but it will require some getting used to and making some third party software work is a huge pain.

Yeah, I really don't have a lot of bought software I would need to move to the Mac. I've also been looking into a Sony Vaio as well with a TV tuner, HDMI out, and Blu-Ray player. That way I could use it to watch movies as well as use it as a DVR. But that is running up there in price...like $1000. Any ideas for me Chuck let me know! I don't want to steal the girls thread here, but I'd like to try something other than a Dell. (especially since they don't give you a backup CD)

I found a couple Dells I like. One is from Dell and the other from Best Buy.

The one from Best Buy will be about $100 more. But I think it's the better of the two.

Dell Inspiron with Intel Core 2 Duo Processor T5800 (in PINK)
Processor speed: 2.0 GHz
System Bus: 800 MHz
Cache Memory: 2MB on die level 2
RAM: 3GB
Type of RAM: DDR2
Hard Drive Type: Serial ATA (5400 RPM)
Size: 250GB

Dell Inspiron 1525
Intel Celeron 560
1MB cache/2.13GHz/533 MHz
2GB shared duo channel DDr2
120 GB SATA hard drive (5400 rpm)

What do you all think?
