Hey I'm woundering what your opinions are on etheir of these... here are the specs on each.



Inspiron 2200-

Intel?Celeron?M Processor 370 (1.50 GHz/1MB Cache/400MHz FSB)

256 ram

14.1in XGA Display

40GB Ultra ATA Hard Drive

24X CD Burner/DVD Combo Drive

Dell 1370 Internal Wireless (802.11b/g, 54Mbps)

=$628



Acer-

15.0" XGA

256MB ram

40gb hard drive

4200rpm DVD/CD-RW Combo SiS Mirage 2

graphics card Shared 128MB

DVD/CD-RW Combo

4-cell lithium ion

i would definately go with the sempron. its a way better value processor compared to the celeron. however the top computer is going to get a longer battery life due to the larger capacity battery. how much are these two computers?

I just updated my post.

I'd like to know what the 2200 graphics card shared memory is also.

shared memory means a certain area which the motherboard has designated for processing images on your screen uses memory from your ram to do the task. for email and websurfing or watching a movie would be sufficient. no games should be played on it.



boots didnt you order a laptop already?

so watching movies on what laptop would be fine? Also do u think i could play condition zero not on the internet?

i thought you ordered the 6000 from dell. hm..what is your budget like?

a couple of friends of mine are looking laptops but are on low budgets. There budgets are around $600.

the budget can only go so low if they want a gaming laptop.

Yeah there not looking into a gaming laptop. One to surf the web (wirelessly), aim, music downloads, microsoft word. I was woundering if it would handle it or not. Thanks.
