Re: Laptop for work / school
said by PeteC2  :With a top budget of around $1K, you are likely going to be relegated to something with Nvidia 8400M...maybe 8600M GS graphics at best. Not an ideal gaming platform, but will probably fit your needs. That's very useful, thank you! I don't really keep up with mobile graphics so you've given me a good place to start comparing. |

| I think that you will find competition pretty tight between Dell, HP/Compaq, Sony, with Acer and Gateway perhaps offering a little more for the dollar, and there is also Toshiba and ASUS in with that mix.
I have yet to see a notebook with the Nvidia 8800 at the $1K point, and there are still too many notebooks at $1K that don't even offer discrete graphics at all...but it is getting better! At least you can get a discrete graphics card at the $1K point now.
