Laptops???

[STRONGBADF1]

I have a $300 "gift card" to the HP online store (I received it for signing up with Fios).

So what kind of laptop would a Audioholic need (want) to satisfy any needs that might crop up. I now this is vague but I have $300 I have to use before November something or other...

I'm thinking of trying REW and maybe using it as a music server.

The funny thing is that Fios media manager will do most of what I would want but...I still have this $300 that I will lose if I don't spend it.


Ideas??? (I would probably add up to $300 to get something usable.)

In all seriousness, with the included RAM upgrade This should work just fine and be fairly future proof.

They're kinda cool, playing with one at best buy, but it just seemed so dang small..

Do you already have a laptop?

My wife has one that I could use but she uses it for her online college classes to complete her degree. I'd rather leave that one for her uses.

Since you don't already have a laptop, I'd get one instead of a netbook. Its so small for daily computing. Managing a music library would be quite tedious on it. You'll also like the storage of a larger notebook...

Doug, are you set on a laptop? The HP store sells a number of other things.

Also, they have some fairly high dollar coupons (like, $400 off) fairly often, so I'd suggest keeping your eyes open for those. Dealnews.com (and dealcoupon.com) is one place to see those - but there are other places.

I don't really see any thing else I'd want...

That proves troublesome for some folks, myself not excluded.

If you are looking for a media server then why not get a media server?

These are headless and quite capable.
