Okay im getting a 400$ visa giftcard tomorrow and i have alittle extra cash as well..
i was looking at a few laptops that i found on craigslist that are brand new and all around 400-450$.. Only thing is i'm looking for some guidance on whats the best one..
HP dv4-1145go
HP dv2-1199
HP Compaq Presario CQ60-216DX CQ60

Can you post the specs of them ?

I don't think any of those would be in that budget.

See that way over.
is this forum dead or something?
i can get all of them brand new off crigslist between 4-500
the compaq is 400 and the other two are between 480 and 520ish
let me know guys.... im buying it tomorrow ;( ... i need some help
the differences im seeing is...
i dont know how good compaq's are..
the dv4-1145go has a faster processor than the dv2.. but the dv2 has a dedicated gfx card compared to a shared gfx card that runs off the ram on the dv4... is that a bad thing
a) If they are on craigslist I 1) doubt they are new and 2) if they are new, I suspect they aren't legit
b) Compaq is a sub division of HP. They are budget systems and are of lower quality. That's not to say that they can't be good systems, they are just cheaper.
c) The difference between CPU and graphics card will depend on what you intend to do with the laptop.

okay im pretty sure im going to get one of those two.. what one would you guys get personally?
^The one in the Cnet link. They are both similar systems, but the DV4 has a *slightly* better graphics card. They are both integrated cards, so neither will be all that good but the HD 4500 is better than the X3100.
