I broke the cd drive on my laptop and I want windows vista, the laptop company will not sale parts and I would have to ship it back to get it fixed, due to all the vista and repair cost, I need a new laptop, what should I get? I want at least 512mb and dvd,cd drive with vista. What should I get with a low price?

 

What are you calling low price.....

If price alone is the only factor then just walk into walmart, best buy, oer circuit sity and grab the cheapest one they have. I got my wifes with all of those requirements for $500 at circuit city last fall. But it is cheap, in 2 or 3 years it will be out of date and I wont beale to do anything for it. There are no expansion slots, and very minimal percible or HID connections. it is what it is and thats how it will have to stay. When it cant browse teh internet anymore becasue it's out of date, then she'll have to buy a new one.

 

Try a mac book it can run Windosws Vista nad when you are tired of thye problems spected, you can booth on Tiger and enjoy the vista features as i did since 1 year ago.

 

You should look into the Compaq Presario V6000 series. Beautiful laptops, beautiful bright and clear screens, at least 512mb ram, turion 64 x2 dual core processors and plenty of storage. All for about 700.

I'm running one right now and its fantastic.

 

Whatever you choose just make sure you get lots of ram if you're going to run Vista. 1gb at the very least, 2gb would be better. 512 is the minimum spec for Vista Home Basic and 1gb is the minimum spec for the other versions. I would get double the minimum of whichever version you choose. It's usually much cheaper to add more when you buy it than to add it later. Especially if you get to spec it opposed to just grabbing one off the shelf.
