Laptop Choice -Under $500
I am considering getting a laptop to play poker, do some basic computing, watch movies on the road etc. Don't need a gaming system, just something that I can work on that isn't slow as dirt. Both Circuit City and Best Buy are offering Toshibas below $500, I need some advice on which one is best for the money. I am leaning toward the Circuit City deal because of the larger HD and RAM, but wanted some of you tech experts to help me.

[/ QUOTE ] That TV is crap. Have you ever seen a Westinghouse up next to really any other brand? Of course you said it's for your parents and not for you so you probably don't care all that much about quality. I, personally would either save my money or spring a little more for something other than Westinghouse. On the other hand though, for $500, it is kind of hard to beat. |

Re: Laptop Choice -Under $500
first, how can you say the tv is crap when it just was released? the 26" westinghouse lcd is a brand spanking new model and their are very few reviews on it yet. have you actually researched this model?
second, westinghouse makes good quality lcds and the reviews for most all models of theirs back this up. see for yourself. here here third, side-by-side comparisons at stores are not necessarily a good indication of the quaility of the tv. it could just be that someone was playing around with the settings on one tv. oh, and please read wyzguy's post in this thread. happy shopping [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] |
