A Sea Of Red

anyone have one? i've pretty much narrowed my choices down to one of the studio 15s

I study laptops and I study good deals....word of advice, get a Dell Inspirion 15 from the Dellout.com...they sell refurbs but have the same warranty as the new ones (1 year everything). Not to mention you can find a 15% off coupon floating around. Best laptop she's ever had (kills her HP she had) and here were her specs:



-- Inspiron 1525 Laptop: Intel Pentium Dual Core T3200 w/ Webcam (2.0GHz/667Mhz FSB/1MB cache)

-- 6 Cell Primary Battery

-- Dell 1395 802.11G Wireless Mini Card

-- 8X DVD +/- RW w/dbl layer write capability

-- Sound Blaster Audigy ADVANCED HD Audio Software Edition

-- 120 GB SATA Hard Drive (5400 RPM)

-- 2 GB DDR2 SDRAM 800MHz (2 DIMMs)

All of that for $370 after coupon...it has been great...super fast, no problems whatsoever...I told her it was a refurb b/c you would never know looking at the computer or packaging...it's the only way I will buy Dells from now on...and you can get an educational discount too added to the 15%

everyone at the office got new laptops this fall and we all got to choose 15" or the 17" studio....i was the ONLY one to get the 15 inch and it works great.....i've not had 1 issue. we've returned ALMOST all the 17" ones and the ones we haven't still have issues here or there....

Not what I'm looking for. That's already what I have and its junk after 3 years. How do you get the educational discount, I didnt see that anywhere on the Dell website. I'm also looking for new, not refurbished, because I want to customize it to what I want and getting refurbished isn't an option because of that.

However, I didn't see the educational discount anywhere on their website, do you have to enter in a coupon code for that?

actually, i found dell university. i guess thats where you go to get an education discocunt. unfortunately, it doesnt offer the 64-bit windows on the studio 15, so that does not appear to be an option either.

I've got a Toshiba and it has been great.

Which kind do you have? The Satellite L350-ST2701 is the only one that I can customize with almost everything what I want while also competing with Dell on price (before instant savings), but it's an ugly machine and with a 17" screen it's pretty freaking big (not sure if I want one that big) and the specs aren't quite as good as dell's either.

I bought this one a few months ago: http://www.officedepot.com/a/products/8 ... #reviewTab and love it.

Im looking for a good laptop for personal use but also something I can use for DJing wedding receptions. Id guess Id need something with a decent hard drive (although I do have an external HD I could use as well) and good sound quality

My Toshiba's been great as well. It had some problems last year, but after some things were deleted, it started working just like new. I love it!

For the wedding receptions just get an iPod and a Lasonic i931.

That's a pretty good deal. The processor isn't as good as I want, and it is HP, but if push came to shove, I'd consider going with that.
