Can I get some opinions on this one. www.acompinc.com/pmoreinfo.asp?iid=204282 |
I only use my laptop for business. If you are planning on running Norton 2004 you will regret not having a minimum of 2Ghz. The program is processor and memory hog. All the newer business suite products are internet friendly and eat up processor speed. 1 Ghz is four year old technology. Not even to mention the computer doesn't even come with an operating system. A Dell will cost you about the same dollars. Tj |

WTF is that generic ass processor? never heard of it get the entry level dell, I think it's an inspiron 1000, maybe latitude 1000 a touch more expensive but it comes with XP with SP1 and a bunch of other programs in cluding an office suite (I think corel's) plus it has a faster processor that isn't some generic no name |

I am knowledgeable on this matter. I do not recommend it. You are leaving yourself zero room for growth. Laptop processors cannot be upgraded and you will be starting out way behind the curve. There is/will be software you may need for your business that may not run on this laptop. I agree with the recommendations on an entry level(or even refurbished) name brand laptop. Dell's are good, IBM's are good to. Hope this helps. ByteTheBullet (-: |

Ok, you can add cheaper RAM later and you can upgrade the hard drive later also. Did you want to get AOL? Just wondering. Looks really good, provided you get the CD burner. The only exception is if you are on a network. Oh, Windows XP comes with usable built-in CD burning software. ByteTheBullet (-: |
