After doing a lot of looking, I have narrowed it down to two models (hopefully
). What do you guys think of them? I know these two are a little over budget, but I can always downgrade to a celeron-m.
1. ACER Aspire 1681 (~$1200 cdn) - This one is around a 1000, and seems packed full of features. Does anyone know how fast the hardrive is? (4200, or 5400). Also, does anyone how the monitors are on these models, I'm quite clueless when it comes to laptop screens.
