[Noisebridge-discuss] Searching for new laptop

[Mitch Altman]

My T400 laptop got stolen here in London a few days ago.   Good to know I can get a used one for fairly cheap on eBay (since my disk image backup is waiting for me when I get back home from my UK Workshop Tour in a couple of weeks. 

And thanks for the recommendation on the new laptop,  Lee.  I may get a new Think pad afterward. 

Mitch.

A high end Thinkpad T400 series laptop would have the high resolution, and RAM etc. and they pop up on eBay used now.. for under $500.

I'm very happy with the new laptop I got 2 months ago.http://www.lee.org/blog/2013/03/06/i-love-my-new-laptop/



I think a key part was paying a little extra for the screaming fast SSD drive. 
I got:4 gig = plentyi5 processor = plenty
1366 x 768 = I could have paid another $180 for the higher resolution and might have been happier... but I'm happy

Mine came to $880, new. I doubt you'll find anything like this used for what you want to pay (that wasn't stolen). This is fairly newish stuff. But hey, anything can happen.


Good luck

To noisebridge people of san francisco,


I have recently become the very proud owner of a very dead laptop. Seeing how my laptop was pretty much my life I am in the market for something to replace my glorified phone charger. This what I am currently looking for considering I do enjoy playing mmo's and the such.




OS: Windows 7 (prefably ultimate, but willing for any
 version)CPU: Intel core 2 duo 2.0 Ghz or better

Ram: 4gb +Video Card: Geforce 8800, Radeon HD 3850+, or Intel 4100 integrated graphics chip or better w/ 256mb or better vram

HDD: 320gb or more

DVD: 8x DVD or
 better (Preferably blu-ray)Network: 10/100/1000 Mbps

Wireless: 802.11 b/g/nScreen: 15.6" or larger

Resolution: 1080p or better (1920x1080)Connections: 3 usb 2.0 or more, and HDMI out.

Webcam: yes


The challenge I am seeing thus far is what I am trying to spend (500 or less). I am willing to go used but would need to test it out first to see if there were any problems. Please contact me if you have something like this and contact me via this email (ravynmb73 at yahoo.com). Thank you.




Melissa
