| I'm shopping laptops for a class I am goint to be teaching. A lot of them come loaded with Windows XP Media Edition. Is there any reason I would want this ofer XP Professional? I will be running Powerpoint slide shows, but have no problem with that here at home on my XP Pro machine. |

i would get someting with xp pro. i would get something i could watch movies (DVDs) on (highly recommended). i tend to go for thicker as opposed to thiner (i mean ultra thin) laptops. i also am kinda turned off by the ultra wides. 15+inch width is enough. i currently have 3. all dell inspirons of various ages. although i don't care much for dell in general, i recommend their laptops. i build all my own desktops and would build my own laptops if i could get the innerds and cases that i want. for something a little different and ultra tough.. you might look at itronix gobooks. expensive but milspec, tough and have some interesting features. |
