For university, I've decided to buy a notebook PC. I have an HP desktop now so I'm staying with HP. I placed an order for the HP Pavilion dv5000z. Here're the specs:
OS: XP Home with SP2
Processor: AMD Turion 64 ML-37 (2.0GHz/1MB L2 Cache)
Display: 15.4" WXGA Widescreen (1280x800)
Graphics card: 128MB ATI Radeon Xpress 200M w/Hypermemory
Memory: 1GB DDR 400MHz
HD: 80GB 5400 RPM
Optical drive: DVD/CD-RW Combo Drive
Network card: 54g 802.11b/g WLAN w/"SpeedBooster"
Battery: 12 Cell Li-on
I also got a free HP All-in-One printer (after rebate).
Since it's usually cheaper to buy memory aftermarket, I did just that and saved abour $100. My grand total came to about $1100, which is right on my budget.
This is a budget notebook for general purpose and will be perfect for what I need it to do. This makes my current 1.2GHz 60GB 640MB RAM HP Pavilion look so ancient.
Now I just have to wait until mid-April for it to be delivered. :(
