College time. My 4 year old desktop isn't entirely up to par. tl;dr people skip text wall.
I'm kinda between two different Dells right now. An Inspiron 1525 and one of their Studio ones. Yeah, I know. Dell. The guy at Best Buy laughed at me too. But hey, for <$1000 both have 4 gigs RAM and a 320 hard drive. I spent some time wandering the internet this morning, then tried to avoid the employees at Best Buy while I did some out-of-the-house comparisons. (Plus I had $45 in gift cards to spend) Ended up with a stoned WoW player trying to sell me on a Toshiba or an HP that were both identical to the Dells in terms of specs. I get home and have my sister and a nerd god friend of mine cursing HP laptops.
What kind of laptop do you have? Do you like it? Could I find it for under $1000 with 4 GB RAM? Any recommendations in terms of brand/model?
