Buying a new laptop

Also remember if you have 2500 cash then you do have some bargaining power and it is not unrealistic to walk out with something that started off selling for $3000 :)

Very good point that I forgot to mention. Harvey Norman likes when people pay in full and will give you a further discount. The guy I talked to at the time said he could do another 8% discount off sticker price.

Because 4GB ram will be outdated in about 2 years and I want my laptop lasting longer than that without any noticeable speed decrease. Websites and programs are consistently being upgraded and becoming more resource heavy. 2GB was amazing years ago... why not anymore?

What do you need more for? :o

I also can't reccomend Toshiba enough.I have just bought(about a month ago)the Satellite A660-14c.I'm not much clued up when it comes to pc's,but the basic specs are as follows,

RAM 4GB

Processor: Intel Core i3

500GB HDD

Blu-Ray RE-WRITER

16" widescreen

Windows 7 Hone Premium.

Cant remember graphics,as I dont play games,but think its about 512mb,and is more than good enough for playing discs and videos,etc.

I paid €899 here in Dublin,so it should come in under $2k.

It really is the doggies doo-dackies.
