    notebook reviews

    Hey all, I'm currently purchasing a notebook for a client who travels alot and is a writer. I'm trying to find a good review place.

    She's got about a $2100 dollar budget, likes Dells, and needs it to be light.

    Any suggestions or locations of good unbiased reviews?

    I would suggest a Dell 600m for the following reasons:
    -Dell support is pretty good
    -You can put 2 batteries in it so you can have a LOT of battery time and truly be mobile(you have to take the optical drive out to do this)
    -It is pretty light, around 5lbs.
    -It comes with plenty of power and a decent video card
    -Pentium-M processors ROCK!!!
    -Widescreen laptops are overrated
    -It has 2 very good screen options, XGA and SXGA.
    -You won't need to spend $2100 on one to get a decent one, I paid $1350 shipped for mine over a year ago and it still keeps up. You can take the money you saved and buy something else.

    MacBook Pro 13-inch, 2.3Ghz i5, 8GB RAM, 640GB HD
    Desktop: i5 2500K (w/ CM Hyper 212 Plus) , 16GB DDR3, 2x240GB OCZ Agility SSD, 2x1TB in RAID0, 2xeVGA GeForce GTX 570, Corsair TX750M PSU, ASUS Sabertooth P67, Dell 2209WA eIPS LCD
    Home Server: Intel Pentium G630, ASRock H61M/U3S3, 4GB RAM, 80GB + 2TB HD
