Hi,

I need some suggestions and alternatives in buying laptops. Me and my Girlfriend are planning to buy laptops. Her budget is $600 and mine is $850. We both love apple products, because of it's elegant design and yet powerful. But we can't yet afford mac laptops.. so we are looking for alternatives. One we see is The Stylish Sony E-Series (white version) see it here.

To give you an Idea,

Software she frequently use are Photoshop, MS Office and firefox.

Mine is Adobe CS4, Cinema4d, MS Office and firefox.

We are looking for light, slick and clean interface of a laptop (very close to mac notebooks).

Thanks!

How to compare old laptop to new laptop?

I hope this question doesn't get closed at once :) I have an old laptop, a Compaq NC4200, which is going its final laps around the track these days. Battery is dead, and everything kinda runs slow. It also has only 1GB of memory, and even though I don't know if it can take more, I probably wouldn't… >>> More
