Re: Choosing a new laptop

I can't seem to find a 15.4" laptop with anything better than a 8600M GT or a 570M (about the same thing). My old HP is still going but I do haul my laptop around a lot. Also the IBM does have a 160GB hard drive, it is a 7200 RPM model. The biggest 7200RPM drives I've seen are 200GB.

 just got a new HP with 2 x 120 GB 7200 RPM HDs. they had larger HDs, but this was the best at 7200 RPM. (i'd prefer speed over gigantic...my old laptop has 40GB, so 240GB is already big enough for me) also has NVIDIA 8600M GS ...pavilion model dv9700t

I hope that you enjoy it! That should be a pretty capable model...I would prefer the two fast 120 gb hard drives over one 4200rpm 240 gb drive...
