Laptop suggestions
burnished_dragon:
Okay I am looking at getting a laptop what should I be looking for?
I was looking a Dell (ducks) but other than the very nice colours I don't think it will work - Vista and NVIDIA (that is all Dell Canada offers) So I guess I need some ideas to take to Future Shop with me so the salesman does try to pull a number on me. Also I don't want to spend a bundle trying to keep it under 1,500CND as need to get hubby one as well (he is heading up north) Thanks

Well considering that post is 2006 and know there are newer posts and quick glance was desktop not laptop - I already had a good desktop for my sims - used that post when buying it, But the notebook laptop are new to me and I didn't even know about double checking on battery cooling ( know have to have descent for desktop)

hard not to get vista, unless I can find somewhere with older (last models before) laptops. I have asked a number of places vista is the only thing that seems to be available I can try a couple of smaller shops that do their own installation but ....
Could I use my XP for my desktop and reformat the drive?
