How do you do? I am new. I have been reading other posts and they're great. I am buying a laptop and trying to decide on a brand and whether it should be 15" or 17". The one thing I do know is that I want an Intel Centrino processor. So, hello, pleased to meet you.

Thank you! I am not a gamer, but when I work, I like to have 25 windows open. Watching movies will probably be at home. I guess it will be less mobile and weight will be a big issue if it's a 17" laptop.

Welcome to the forums.
Is there any reason you are so biased in the centrino processor? And do you want Centrino 2? or just Centrino.

Re: Centrino
I think it is because of the marketing that reaches me and the research I've done that I favour Intel Centrino. Intel Core2 Duo Processors are what I look for. Why?

I was just curious I understand why you'd go for the Core2duo. But centrino just means you are using an intel wireless card. No reason in particular I just didn't know if there was a bond, or if you actually did your home work. Welcome to the forums again and good luck. This time of year is perfect for finding laptops.

damn, that was quick. Well look at those specs and it was 750 shipped. It was a thing on passwird.com and usually stuff lasts for a day or so.

Wow! Thanks! It really helps me to read the specs and see what you consider to be a good computer. What was the price though?
