Laptop computers

I don't know much at all about computers. i want to get a computer for home use, but something that isn't going to be a "peice of furniture" I've been thinking about a laptop. The only thing I plan to do is surf the web with it.

Would a lap top work out for me?

Re: Laptop computers

all you want to do is surf the web?? the public library has computers that you can go and do that for free...you don't have to spend a nice chunk of change...unless you want to look at porn, which you probably do, jus playin.

Re: Laptop computers

Give a little more details. If you're only surfin' the web...at home...then get reg comp. They're cheaper.

Re: Laptop computers

If all you want to do is surf the web with a laptop, I highly recommend going for a unit that has top shelf engineering.

I personally would be looking at a Sony Vaio or a Fujutsi S Series that has a P3 processor, 20G HDD, 256mb RAM and would expect to pay roughly $400 AUD for a good one, or $250-300 USD.

I would run a stripped down version of Windows XP, with the firewall enabled, and a decent antivirus like NOD32.

Add a PCMCIA wireless card, and setup a home Wireless network for true surfing freedom.

Hope this helps, any other questions, fire away.
