ok i know there are a lot of these questions going around but i know nothing about laptops. Here's the deal, i plan on buying a laptop after christmas some time mainly for when i go to uni next sept/oct. i will also be taking rig2 (in sig) to uni, now i don't think i'll buy this laptop with gaming in mind, i'll just use my 'rig 2' so grap[hics card isn't important. Now what i want is a laptop that looks nice and is slim with a low weight but as larger screen as i can afford, maybe one of those widescreen ones, is it possible to get a 16" widescreen for laptop without being rediculously expensive? i would like a DVD-rom driver that doubles as a cdrw drive. also a centrino cpu, not sure how high a speed i need really and i guess 512mb of ram. oh also some sort of 10/100 lan or something. now when it comes to my budget i don't really know, i mean the cheaper the better if anyone could give some suggestions and what the price is i'll go from there! Also im in the UK so best if their UK sites etc. Thanks a lot, Nick. _________________ Rig 1: amd2500+, thermalright SLK-947 w/ tt s/f cool mod, abit nf-sv2.0, Kingston HyperX dual channel PC3500 (512x2), Powercoler 9800pro, ttV2000A case, tt 480 pp psu, WD 80GB 7200rpm 8mb, LG 52x CDROM, Samsung CDRW 40/12/40, NIC, cable modem, videologic ZXR 5.1 speakers.
