It has endured several falls as well as an angry friend who slammed the top down so hard he cracked the LCD display. Other than replacing the 15.4 inch display I've had no other hardware issues. http://www.cheaperlaptop.com/gateway-mx6433.html Wed, 28 Jul 2010 00:00:00 +0000 http://www.cheaperlaptop.com/hp-g71.html What is LightScribe! I hear you cry. Alas, it's not a light saber wielding Jedi Knight, it's an optical disc recording technology that uses specially coated recordable CDs and DVDs to produce laser-etched labels. With that in mind, it seems this HP G71 would be an ideal notebook for a cash strapped band or independent musician looking to burn demos to giveaway, or cds to sell at gigs. http://www.cheaperlaptop.com/hp-g71.html Mon, 26 Jul 2010 00:00:00 +0000 http://www.cheaperlaptop.com/vaio-e-series.html For the cash I spent, this is a fine notebook with all the latest hardware from an often overlooked brand. I only bought it recently so the long term verdict is still out, but if you're in the market for a new, middle of the pack laptop, this E-Series incarnation of the Sony Vaio is worth a look. http://www.cheaperlaptop.com/vaio-e-series.html Fri, 23 Jul 2010 00:00:00 +0000 http://www.cheaperlaptop.com/asus-1005ha.html The 6-cell battery on this 1005HA was the main reason Jacob purchased it, and it does not disappoint. He typically gets 10 hours of battery life between charges. http://www.cheaperlaptop.com/asus-1005ha.html Thu, 22 Jul 2010 00:00:00 +0000 http://www.cheaperlaptop.com/ We're here to guide you towards a few of the affordable laptops and netbooks currently on the market. http://www.cheaperlaptop.com/ Wed, 21 Jul 2010 00:00:00 +0000 http://www.cheaperlaptop.com/aspire-5515.html For the money, it was a great bargain. It had everything I needed and then some, but admittedly I'm a basic user. The price was perfect, and overall I've been pleased with the quality of Acer's product, but the battery failing was a big let down. http://www.cheaperlaptop.com/aspire-5515.html Tue, 20 Jul 2010 00:00:00 +0000 http://www.cheaperlaptop.com/dell-studio-15.html Classical guitarist Rob Reid needed a laptop that could handle all his audio demands, without his wallet hemorrhaging too many dollars. http://www.cheaperlaptop.com/dell-studio-15.html Wed, 14 Jul 2010 00:00:00 +0000 http://www.cheaperlaptop.com/satellite-l455.html I would definitely recommend the Toshiba L455 to my friends and family. Anybody who needs a new notebook should consider a Toshiba Satellite L455. It may not have the specs and features of the higher priced models. Case in point it has no built in webcam or microphone, but nitpicking aside, it certainly gets the job done for me. http://www.cheaperlaptop.com/satellite-l455.html Mon, 12 Jul 2010 00:00:00 +0000 http://www.cheaperlaptop.com/asus-ul20a-a1.html Tony has always been a desktop person, simply because he did not need the portability of a laptop and desktops provide a better dollar-to-performance ratio. But, when he spotted Newegg running a special on the Asus UL20A-A1 for $535 with free shipping, he jumped right in. http://www.cheaperlaptop.com/asus-ul20a-a1.html Thu, 08 Jul 2010 00:00:00 +0000 http://www.cheaperlaptop.com/gateway-mx6650.html Some will say this reviewer is a Gateway fanboy after reading his glowing appraisal of the ancient MX6650. However, he did only pay $99 for his 2nd hand machine. http://www.cheaperlaptop.com/gateway-mx6650.html Wed, 07 Jul 2010 00:00:00 +0000 http://www.cheaperlaptop.com/inspiron-17r.html I had Windows Vista on my previous laptop and couldn't stand it, so this time I chose to go with Windows 7 Home Premium. I was quite excited because the CD drive I chose was an 8X CD/DVD burner, and DVDs could be burnt with dual layers. http://www.cheaperlaptop.com/inspiron-17r.html Tue, 06 Jul 2010 00:00:00 +0000 http://www.cheaperlaptop.com/compaq-mini-110.html One aspect about the Mini 110 I'm unhappy with is getting used to the 10.1 inch screen. Granted I was aware of this before I made the purchase, but it can be a slight inconvenience to do most of your work using a small screen and not having the option to see a complete image or document. http://www.cheaperlaptop.com/compaq-mini-110.html Mon, 05 Jul 2010 00:00:00 +0000 http://www.cheaperlaptop.com/gateway-nv5469zu.html My Gateway NV5469Zu helps me to compose, submit, and correspond with brokers and clients simply and quickly. When, in a former job I was confronted with dreaded flowcharts, my Gateway laptop navigated them gracefully. http://www.cheaperlaptop.com/gateway-nv5469zu.html Sat, 03 Jul 2010 00:00:00 +0000
