Best notebook in $1000-$1300 range?
Looking for the right notebook for business use. Mainly e-mail, spreadsheets, web browsing. Would like the flexibility of being able to use multimedia (dvd playback, listening to music).
Basically, not looking for anything too over the top, but enough speed so it doesn't go slow if I have mutiple apps running. I've been looking at Sager. So far they look pretty good. Can anyone recommend a good Sager model or another brand? Thanks |

Personally I like the Toshiba M45-S269 over the Dell Inspiron 6000; for the same ~1200 price it has a faster processor, TruBrite display; bigger HDD; DVD writer.

 Perhaps consider Staticas advice though, I only really know about Dells, Sagers and Compaqs (don't get a Comcrap) |

Just to also clarify my suggestion, the biggest pro for the Dell is the dedicated ATI card. The Toshiba uses shared video ram on an Intel chip. It's actually very capable for the apps you are seeking but is going to suffer if you do hardcore gaming. On the upside, the ATI is not going to be as efficient on battery life as the Intel.

I am looking through Dell 6000, Dell 9300, Acer TravelMate TM4402WLMi, and Sager 3880. Any recommendations or preference towards one of these notebooks.

I have the Inspiron 9300, and it's a very good gaming laptop, but overkill for what you intend I'd suggest... the 6000 looks like it'd fit the slot, the Sager 3880 is pretty good from what I've heard, and I'm not too sure about the Acer
