3 notebooks on order dv2000t, dv5000t, nc8430

post #1 of 11

Well I finally have lost my mind It started with ordering a dv2000t then 2 days later I orderd the dv5000t and now I just ordered the nc8430. I'm going to refuse shipment on the first two.

I never knew buying a laptop would be this difficult, but thanks for everyone's input.

Please... you no come in my store anymore... Please no buy from me.. me don't need no customer like you, I lose money everytime we do business... (That's a joke.... it's sort of like seeing guys that weigh 340lbs with a couple of their buddies about the same size going into a all you can eat buffet.... owner maybe wanting to say something like the above.)

If you can afford an nc8430, it looks like a good one. I think the only negative is it didn't have an ExpressCard slot the last time I looked at it and you're stuck w/ Windows even if you use Linux...

LOL I know am a pain in the ***.

But I think I finally made the right decision with spending the extra dough and getting a laptop of quality. The 3 year warranty is a nice piece of mind also.

I must of spent over 24 hrs reading these forums in the last three days. The only advice I can offer is if your going to spend a $1000 or so for a notebook you might as well just spend the extra and get a good QUALITY one. Thanks again.

Yes, VikingJunior is getting "dual boot"... first he boots one machine back, then the second. Then he keeps the superior model!
