Here we go again - Looking for Laptop Advice
OK folks, I really like my Toshiba Satellite with one (maybe two) exceptions. It's a little larger than I would like (7 lbs) and no integrated wireless (G-card).
I've spent considerable time over the past 3 days researching what to buy (I have actually set up CNET reviews as a web page favorite). Here is what I want and I'm looking for suggestions from the gallery.
- Internal Wireless G (no cards or B)
Lightweight (prefer around 3 lbs or less) though willing to go as high as 4 lbs for the right machine
Would really prefer integrated SD drive and absolutely do NOT want integrated floppy.
CD-RW/DVD optical drive. Don't feel strongly either way about internal vs external
Hard drive size not that important, though I don't want to go less than 30GB
Centrino Mobile (I guess, don't really understand the significance of this)
Battery life not that important. If I can get 2 hours on the right machine, I'll take it.
It looks like it's going to be the Dell 300M though I really like the Toshiba Portege R100. Problem with the Toshiba is that it is wireless B. I also like the Gateway 200X but at 4.4 lbs, it's a little heavier than I'm looking for.
Lastly, I would like to be around $1,500 though I'm willing to go a little higher.
Any help/advice is appreciated.
