i need a new laptop?!?!?! SUGGESTIONS FOR BUYING??? (prefferrably hp)

Author Riddles    Category Photoshop CS3     Tags , , , ,

laptop is going to be mostly used for school purposes (im in 10th grade) but also for photshopping images with CS3, watching movies, listening to music, possibly playing some high graphics games (call of duty 4 etc.),

i need a laptop with similar specs:
-DVD±RW/CD-RW
-built in wireless LAN 802.11 g (N if possible)
-quick write speeds to harddrive
-graphics card besides intel (such as nvida or ATI)
-RAM 4gb ( )
-around 4 usb ports
-PCMCIA slot
-middle of line speakers (maybe altec- lansing (i dont know))
-digital media card reader (SD slot)
-fairly large harddrive around 250 gb or less (i have an external 160gb already)
-good processor speed (2.0 ghz)
-cache memory (dont have that good of an idea of what this is)–> i guess pretty good
-prefferably also a high definition display with about a 15″ screen size (diagonal)

I am mainly looking for a pretty fast laptop for around $1,000 or less that i can easily multitask and be able to enjoy photoshopping or playing call of duty 4 without having problems graphics skipping, brushes in PS are fast enough, etc.
i am not sure about the type of processor but something that is relatively new and pretty fast (intel or AMD i suppose)
thank you for the offer but NO MACS
some of these specs can be downgraded if need be in order to equip me with the proper laptop. please if you can provide me with the laptop series number etc.

    Well, i bought a Toshiba about a year ago. i use it for all the same things you do but a little more on the extreme side. You can find some pretty sweet deals.

    I would obviously recomend a Toshiba over an HP.

    Pretty hard to find a good laptop at that price that can do all that. However since you are a student, I’d recommend an Apple MacBook. The basic model is $1099. Minus the $100 student discount bring the price to $999. Best deal though is that Apple will throw in a free iPod touch (a $300 value, plus a free $100 printer. Here is the details.

    If you don’t need the iPod and the printer, you could resell those for $200 or $300. That would give you enough extra money to buy a USB hub and some good speakers. Plus upgrade to four gigs of RAM, and get a larger faster 7200rpm hard drive. You can find those upgrades on this page.

    So that should be in your price range, and give you most of what you’re looking for.
