comparing laptops: which would you buy?
So i use gotapex.com/deals.php all the time to find good deals and im in need of a laptop (nothing amazing, just good multitasking speeds, battery life, burner, internet, etc). For the deals section today (top of page) they have 3 laptops listed that look like a good deal. all under $700.
If you go to the website you can see the specs question...which one would you choose? How much should i expect (on avg) with a 9 cell battery? good battery life is ideal. Is spending $20 more on internal bluetooth worth it? Does my network card need to be more than 10/100? any suggestions greatly appreciated. Leaning towards the first laptop (the one with the $419 off). And of course if anyone has any other suggestions outside these notebooks, be much appreciated. THanks! |

Why? Because it's the only one with an INTEL processor. AMD's in laptops suck battery power.

I agree. Also, many of the other specs are better on the 1525.
