Which display should i choose to upgrade is it really worth 100 bucks for the best?
Should i upgrade the cpu to 2.2? or stay the same?
Should i downgrade my video card ?
What color should i get?
I rarely play games, but iduno something could happen in the future, i only use the laptop for chatting and internet browsing and media.
The current build is what i think is good but i not really good with pcs so if anyone could help me i would appreciate it. my subtotal budget is 1200
Sub Total $1,019.00

 

I say go with the best you can afford. You never know what you are going to get into, and it will be nice having the option to do whatever that is already on your computer. I went with the 2ghz processor because it offered the 4 mb cache over the 2mb (which would be the one lower than that).

Buying a laptop is fun...have a blast!

 

If you don't game, that card is overkill. If you're thinking about gaming a little bit, you'd probably be better off with the 8400 and saving $100.

I don't think the price jump for the T7500 is justified. The T7300 is what most people seem to be going with for future-proof systems.

The display is up to you, but things will start to get really small on a 1680x1050 screen. I'd go with what you have, myself.

Is that the price before or after the coupon? Because if you're not using it, you might as well add something. It ends up being free, basically.
