My question is conserning a student (myself) moving away from home (from West coast Canada to the East) for my student coop. I'm happy with my desktop computer and I enjoy being able to play games, write my papers and what not. My consern is since I won't be able to haul my desktop components with me when I move I should be looking for a laptop. This laptop is to be my main computer so I would like the ability to work with multimedia but only with in relitive value of the computer cost.
I first looked at the Dell 700m its a nice computer but its small and although battery life is important in laptops this is to be my main computer so thats a bit of a deturant, plus the gpu is some integrated crap.
So i started looking at the 600 serise and realised that the 100 dollar difference in GPU although more powerful would result in 2 dimms instead of a second, and a significantly smaller HD.
Right now the laptop that has my eye is the Toshiba M40: 1.6GHz/60GB, the GPU is a NVIDIA® GeForce FX Go 6600 with 128MB DDR. It has the same processor speed for only a hundred dollars more.
My questions are
1) Whats your opinion on the M40
2) In your opinion whats the best laptop for a sub $2000 price range (remember I live in Canada so add .145 cents to every American dollar).
3) Are there any places to get a good deal on a laptop in Canada that anyone knows of?
Any information of the sort would be very apreicated.
Thanks for reading
