What is the best notebook for browsing Getbig?

[body88]

What are some solid to good notebooks on the market?  I need something to supplement my laptop and my desktop when I am traveling.  Something small, but powerful.  I'll spend coin, but I would prefer something thats a little more economical because I'm only going to be using this thing to browse the web and to stay connected.  However, I know that you get what you pay for so I am open to anything. This is bodybuilding related because I will be browsing Getbig constantly.

What about the Dell mini 10 @ $500.00?

This is a rather impressive Vintage Notebook.  Well worth the money if you can find it.

If you don`t want to break the bank, you could always just go with a multi-colored college ruled Notebook.  Might I suggest pink or polk-a-dots for a a tailored fit to your personality Body88.

What a scholar!  For such a smart guy you'd think you would have caught that mistake.

Spirax also makes a great product with Heavy Grade Paper and its spiral.  The lines are printed with a bright Indigo and Purple Orchid and there is also a custom line on the inside cover where you can put your name.  Really good buy.

You need some new material.  This is boring and lacks creativity.  I mean seriously.

I currently use an HP DV7t its 17.3 inches widescreen and freaking heavy (but I'm a bodybuilder so I should be ok with that lol), picture is AMAZING (excellent for watching HD youtube videos and porn) and I'm running Windows 7 and 4GB ram with a Core 2 Duo proccessor (I wanna upgrade to 8 GB because I do a lot of heavy work on Autocad for my work).

"I told Microsoft I need Getbig.com to load faster.   I'm a PC and Windows 7 was my idea"



Shamefully I will also say that a few years back I had a thinkpad touchscreen tablet, and that was excellent because I used to lay it flat on the treadmill stand and browse getbig as I did my morning cardio!

You need a new notebook to doodle in so you can show family services where exactly Uncle Roger touched you last Christmas Eve.

LMAO...TA issuing another owning...classic.

An owning?  Ha-ha, another newbie wasting Getbig's bandwidth.  Nothing that TA says is funny or creative.  It's material thats been used 100 times by posters much more funny than him.

You think this is clever?  Terrible    Honestly, you're not funny at all.

[body88]

did he hurt your feelings?

No.  TA's come and go all the time.  A dime a dozen.  He lacks creativity and humor.  I've seen better "owning" by Vince G.

Seems like all netbooks I've seen are limited to 1GB of ram.

I was just checking out the HP mini and it's available with more ram then 1GB.  Do I need more for browsing and email?

I had a MSI wind 1o inch with 2 gigs of ram, and it would handle overclocks of 25% with ease...I modified it myself...

Those first MSI winds can be found for 250 online now

You guys are aware that the Dell mini and the HP mini are not really notebooks, but more so "netbooks"

And an Intel Atom Processor is SLOOOOOOOW, regardless of what you are doing I would never recommend that!



For 500 dollars you can get some laptops that are far more superior than what you posted!

I did not.  I know shit about laptops and the like.  What would you recommend?  I want something small because I will be traveling with it, a lot.  Keep in mind that I will be using this thing to surf the web, check out youtube and send email.

This is a better option closer to your price range:

Thanks.  Anything a bit cheaper.  Is this "small"?

That laptop is 13 inches, so I its on the smaller size - but its not tiny.

Note though that it doesn't have a cd drive (most super small laptops don't) so I dunno if this is important to you or not, if it is you may need to go bigger.  

There is definitely cheaper, let me take a look around.

Another decent option:  http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Toshiba+-+Satellite+Laptop+with+Intel%26%23174%3B+Pentium%26%23174%3B+Processor+-+Nova+Black/9549081.p?id=1218122294916&skuId=9549081

I saw some under 500 ones let me check real quick!

Oh and P.S.  my parents have gone through like 3 HP minis they were terrible, and my mother in law has a Dell mini and she hates it because they are super slow!

Well I ordered and paid for a Lenovo W700DS.  It is the most awesome laptop out there.  Was supposed to be shipped on Dec. 10 then it went to Dec 18 and then Dec 24 and then Dec 28. and finally Jan. 6  All during this time I tried to talk to someone and no answer only a recording to leave a message.  Not once did I get  a call back.  I emailed them and it took 10 days to respond.  I finally talked to some fucking guy from India that I couldn't understand and all he did was read from some script.  In short they have the worst customer service of any company I have dealt with.  I cancelled my order and went to Fry's and bought an Acer 8940 with an 18" screen.  It was a letdown not getting the Lenovo but I could imagine how shitty it would be to deal with them if something ever went wrong.

This dell is actually really good for its size and price (11 inches so its small, and runs a pentium processor and 4 GB of ram so it will handle well):

Again no cd drive and its 520 so I dunno if thats past your budget!
