laptop help

[method77]

I'm about to buy yet another laptop. I found a good HP and I don't know what processor to get. I've heard that the Intel M series is better that P4 for a laptop. Anybody have any good advise?

I'd prefer a an apple but it's too expensive

This is what I'm getting. I will add some ram myself

I definitely cannot read all of that.

My friend has an HP laptop, and I have one at home. Both of them required new motherboards at some point.

[method77]

do you have a P4 or CentrinoM or what? Do you have battery problems?

This is it in english:

HP Pavilion zv5365EA Intel Pentium 4 3.0GHz Hyperthreading 800MHz ,

15,4'' TFT / XGA ( 1024x768 ) ,

nice...my other half has got a compaq presario........ 980mhz amd cpu and 256MB ram..very fast..quite surprising actually...i still don`t reckon the 256mb is enough ram to run xp properly......xp NEEDS 512 at least...

[method77]

that's why I will add 256 more as I said above. I bought memory a while ago and never used it. Now is the time

if anyone's reading this who's looking for another laptop, DO NOT BUY A SONY VAIO. PM me for reasons why cause i would be typing all day on this topic listing reasons which begin at 'absolutely no helpful tech 'help' WHEN (not if) something goes wrong.'

I just got my laptop

IBM ThinkPad G41 - Mobile Pentium 4 532 3.06 GHz - 15" TFT - 512 RAM - 40Gb - 128Mb graphic card - dvd recorder

all for 900 euros :bigsmile:

That's a bit cheap isn't it?

I didn't pin greece as a cheap country of computer equipment.

nice !!! now all you need is broadband :D

I've checked prices online from many EU countries and saw that they are mostly the same. You can always find bargains in shops too and this was one.

September and January is the best time to shop a PC cause school starts and prices are lower so students can buy. The rest of us get them for pleasure lol
