Laptop Suggestions - Help Me Spend My $600 From Uncle Sam!
Posted: Tue Feb 12, 2008 10:14 pm
I'm looking to buy a new laptop. Here's what I'll do with it:
-Some programming (C, C++, MATLAB)
-Tons of music - I have a huge collection and a modest home studio set-up
-A sweet optical drive would be nice (DVD-R/RW, Blu-Ray?)
-I will do no gaming at all on this laptop so as long as the video card can keep up with the optical drive and MATLAB I don't care much about it
-A nice wireless card is absolutely crucial
-Durability, I drag my laptops around with me everywhere
-Price < or = $1250
So what do you all use/recommend?
