New Laptop!!!!


Ok i got a new laptop it was a clearance special at Staples for $700!!!!

So far i have no complaints against this computer and dont think i will! I know the "Tech" rep at staples was trying to tell me that this was a crap laptop and blah blah blah! He was trying to sell me a HP/Compaq that was about $400 more is what it really was.

That is the one i got.

That will work just fine for school Tim. Hopefully you already have a copy of Microsoft office, otherwise that will cost you more money.

Open Office is turning into a very nice piece of software. Congrats on the laptop.

Thanks everyone i still have no complaints against it!!!! I really and starting to like this 15.4" widescreen!!! Great sound quality well great for a laptop!

Yeah i like the openoffice software it is free and works well, so if i have problems with my MS office copy i will just get the open office.

The only thing about this laptop that i dont like so far but i can deal with it is the ctrl button. It only has on and it is to the left of the space bar my old laptop had two of them. One on the right and one of the left. The reason i like the one on the right is when you type in a web address like www.thereeftank.com instead of typing in www. thereeftank . com i would just type in thereeftank then with my right hand hold down the ctrl button then just hit enter key and it would add the http://www. .com part around thereeftank for me. But like i said i can get used to that.

Congrats, Tim! I know you've been looking for a laptop. Good that you got the one you wanted, not the one the guy wanted to see you.
