Want to impress a guy? Cook him a good meal and talk with him about computers.

Good quality-good name
Reliable
At least xp home
wifi if possible (but willing to sacrifice it)
Pentium M
The usual stuff...I'm thinking about this one:
http://www-131.ibm.com/webapp/wcs/st...Number=1842QFU but its a little out of my price range.

I am an accounting and comp sci major (first year)-so this needs to last me all four years. I want the best my money can buy, but I want the price to be below $800. If you have any suggestions, that would be great!
Do you know if he knows a lot about notebooks? For instance, does he know notebooks by brand? What does he have?
comp sci is more about software than hardware (more electrical engineering).
And most compsci majors don't know much about desktop/notebooks.
Anyway, if you want to impress him, I say try not to impress him.
If you really want to impress him with a notebook (god that sound weird), and he indeed know much about notebooks, then I say the best way for you to impress him is to demonstrate your ability to choose a notebook that is most efficient for your needs. Dell, HP, Acer, Compaq, etc will not impress him if he is that tech savvy.

lol. I've been researching lappys for about two years now, I just couldn't decide on which one to buy. I knew that if I just said "help me!"; i probably wouldn't get much response. So I decided to spruce things up a bit. I bought my lappy for myself-not for him. I do like the guy though and he is a potential boyfriend. He's just kinda slow about asking me out...I'd say yes if he did.

Btw, my lappy is about three hours away from me sitting in Indianapolis. So excited!!!

How is your experience with NewEgg? Do you like it?

Newegg... a company of mixed feelings.

Good:
-prices
-credit card security measures
-customer service reps are nice and knowledgable

Bad:
-never open when you want to call them (why aren't they open on Saturdays or later than 5:30 PST?)
-They email you about problems with processing your order AFTER they close
-I called customer service three times with an average of 35 minutes on hold each time

*My experience with Newegg would have been better if I didn't have to go through the whole "shipping addy is different from billing addy" problem. You must make sure all of your addresses listed on your newegg order are also listed as alternative addresses at your credit card company. This is one reason why it is taking a week and three days to get my lappy instead of the projected 5 days.

Shipping from UPS (supposedly three days tops) has not worked out either. They shipped on 10/26 and it will arrive on 10/31.

I would probably order from them again (keep in mind, I have not seen the product yet) but only if you do not have a deadline to meet. Overall, I have a positive outlook on the whole experience so far. I am just not a patient person though-guess somebody upstairs is trying to teach me a lesson I don't want to learn!

It always amazes me how people wants to attract attention. Is that what makes the world turn or what?

I Got It! I Got It! I Got It!

Well, its finally here!! Today, I had to work (in the campus mailroom) and it totally killed me to be looking at my laptop package for two hours. But I've been messing around for about 4 and half hours now and I'm still not done configuring it. This weekend, my goal is to write a review. Thanks for all the help I received about which model was best for me. Got to go now and play around some more!

Very nice choice indianagurl. I can't wait to hear your thoughts on this notebook.

Good luck with the rest of your situation.

When you get enough time to put together a review, don't put it here, though. Make a new thread in the review section!

And put a link to it in your signature, so everyone can see where to find it.
