deploy?laptop?Advice?!!!!!!!!!!!
 

Well I am going to be going on alot of trips starting here in early november, first is san diego for a big military excercise. Then after that il have alot to other places then eventually the middle east deployment.
I don't have a laptop and after the last few trips, it would really be nice to get one. So if any of you use laptops, or know where to get good deals on laptops let me know and say the pro's and con's of yours.
Compared to desktop's laptops are so damn expensive that i want to make sure i make the rite choice the first time.

thanks

I have an old Dell inspiron 2650, I got a good deal on it locally. Does everything that I have wanted it to so far.

Just get something that can browse the internet. The only laptop I have been happy playing games on is my brothers Alienware.

I hate to say it man but... I saw a few decent laptops at walmart 2.5 gig decent ram and I think like a smallish 60g harddrive for like 549 or something. thats not to bad..and laptops are over priced.

Hey Jason, is yours the 17" widescreen? Whats it got for ram? cpu?dvd burner? any other stuff?
I think i kind of want to go with toshiba or dell. I really like those xps's but they are so god damn expensive.
I am used to desktops where i can build one myself for cheap as hell.

There are a lot of basic laptops that sell for sub $600 now. Look at something like that and then just upgrade the memory and call it a day.

The max i want to spend is around 1500? any recommendations for that price?

Hp laptops are sweet. The newer Gateway stuff isn't too bad. My work issue is a gateway but my friend's is an HP widescreen. :6

Holy christ. There are a lot of options for $1500. That can get you a pretty decent laptop. I personally would go with something like a thinkpad or dell that has a lot of second-hand parts so you can upgrade cheaply.
