Thinking about buying a laptop

So i've been thinking about buying a laptop. I want something under $700, ~15" screen, at least 100 gig HD, ~2 gig processor, and 2-3 gigs of ram. It will mostly be used for music, movies and the internet with a little bit of gaming.

A quick search of newegg brought me to this Newegg.com - HP Pavilion DV6911US NoteBook AMD Turion 64 X2 TL-60(2.00GHz) 15.4" Wide XGA 3GB Memory 200GB HDD 4200rpm DVD Super Multi NVIDIA GeForce 7150M - Laptops / Notebooks

I was wondering if anyone has seen/used this laptop and how they like it. OR does anyone have a good suggestion for a different laptop that meet my requirements?

my friend has one exactly like that one except with a camera and a mic. i think they are awsome

If you don't mind dell, they just had a whole bunch of 15 inchers for around 550 with 2gig mem, core2duo,160hdd I will look for the link if you want.

i've had some horror stories about dells. my friend needed to have his motherboard replaced multiple times

HP has always treated me well. Just keep them maintained, and have a good antivirus, they will run well for a long time.

there worth it,just like the one im typing on now

I love my HP laptop from work, when/if I ever need to buy one, I will look at the HPs.

sweet, i guess im getting it then

Looks like a good deal,Moon.

just dont buy a dell.....i have a dell and when ever something happens to it its such a pain in the ass to get anything for it because it all has to be ordered from dell....you ever try and order something off the internet when your computer is down.......not that friggin easy

I have had a IBM Thinkpad R40 and this Dell 1725 that I am on right now. I would never buy a lappy to replace a desktop though. I think that you should have both.

oh yeah I have a good desktop computer I built like a year and a half ago....AMD athlon 64 X2 5200+ 2.6 GHz, 2 gigs ram, ATI raedon 1950 pro, 19" widescreen LCD monitor, over 1.5 TB of HD space

I mainly just want the laptop for when I'm not at home

HP all the way

ibm/lenovo, for business and pleasure, T-series

never had a failure/problem/any sort of difficulty

i push the buttons, they work everytime.

macbook!
out of the price range, but maybe try and get a used one?

hahahahhahahhahah nicely said

ordered! can't wait to get it! should be here within the next week I even got the good 2 year warranty plan on it. its gonna end up being about 800 total after I send in the rebate, but at least i'll feel good knowing that after it ends up broken in some drunken college party, i'll be able to send it back and get it fixed

YEAH! Best drinking game ever...i call it "cum in her drive and watch her motherboard melt"



does you warranty cover that?...

my room mate freshman year puked on his laptop after a night of drinking. he had his face on it and was sleeping, and the next thing i heard was him ralphing on it.
it was a dell, so he sent it away and they fixed it. it was hilarious cause he unfolded a paper clip and tried chipping off dried puke the next day. priceless
