Laptops (Part 2)

You never get tired talking about your new laptop? ;P - Anders Money talks, but all mine ever says is "Goodbye!"

What model did you get? I got a Evo N800c a couple of weeks ago, and I really loves it :) - Anders Money talks, but all mine ever says is "Goodbye!"
I've started the ordering process but Compaq Canada are having difficulties taking my money. You never know - I may yet go back to a Dell. The model I'm after is a Presario 2811. I was thinking about the Evo 800 but it's $800 more for essentially the same machine (thought it does have a splash proof keyboard - hmmm). 15", 512Mb, 1.7GHz, 30Gb. Canadians get lame equipment. In the US you can customise things totally, but in Canada you get what you're given and the specs are always a little substandard (same with Toshiba and IBM - Dell is the exception). I'm heading to Seattle on tuesday so I may just pick one up there instead. cheers, Chris Maunder

That is one cool thing about Dell- each one built to your personal specs. The idea of your own custom built machine rocks! :-D

Does life get any better than that? Apparently she isn't married to an accountant then... ;P

After putting a few weeks of searching into play, it finally comes down to a decision between a Fujitsu-Siemens and a Dell. Both are P4 2.4 GHz, 512 Ram, 40GB HDD, DVD/CDRW, LAN & Modem, 15.1" monitor, one weighs 3.6Kg, the other 3.67Kg. The difference? £9. So, two seemingly equal systems, one made by Dell (my personal fav, but only because I enjoy working on one - a desktop - at work) and Fujitsu-Siemens, which I have no experience of, but Siemens German engineering can only be good news. What do you guys think? :confused: Thanks for the help :)

I've only ever heard good things about Dell laptops. The only Siemens I used was a very very old one so unfortunatly there's probably no point in commenting on it. Regards, Brian Dela :-)
