I need a notebook, of the electronic persuasion.
One that covers what I usually do, along with the programs needed for a student (Word, Works, Powerpoint, etc). Along with the ability to do (nice) graphic-y stuff.
A. For one, I will continue to download stuff from the internet.
I will play games either from online, or a CD.
I will want to save lots of images on my notebook, along with a large portion of music.
B. Should I get a notebook with a dual core processor?
How many gigs can last me at least 3 years?
And what about an external harddrive?
C. Any suggestions?
I've been considering a Sony notebook for about 5 months, because for one, I won't buy an HP/Compaq notebook EVER AGAIN. Also, this notebook had 80 Gig. It's been 2 years, and the harddrive has been replaced twice, along with the CD-Rom drive, once. I think the harddrive needs replacing again.
Another thing, I don't want to go with Dell because communication is done through the phone, online, electronic transmission of some kind. I don't like that because then who can I yell at, face to face, if I have a problem? (lol - just so you know, I don't yell at customer service, I've worked in that department, so I try to be considerate).
Help!! Please?
EDIT: 11/14 - if anyone hasn't given me their address and you'd like a holiday card sent to you, go to this post.
