Hey guys, the new school year is around the corner and I'm about to start advance programming courses at college and I'm looking forward on getting myself a notebook to do homework and projects. My question to any of you, what aspects should I take into consideration when buying a notebook? Also, if any of you know of any good sites where they concentrate on selling "decent moderate price" notebooks?
What I’m basically looking for is for a notebook that has an OS on windows vista and with a full keyboard, since the number key pad plays a major part on the coding part of my major. I know that Vista minimum requirements is set to 2GB of RAM, so another question that I ask is, what would be a moderate amount of GB of RAM to have on a notebook running with an OS on Vista?
I rather get answer from this community since I know most of you are and have been involved with computers for decades than getting told "advertising lies" by the sales associates in the stores. I don't want a year to pass by after I buy a notebook and ending up regretting it for it sucks and has poor performance, something I have seen with many of my friends. So all open ideas and recommendations are welcomed from any body out there. Thanks for the help.
