I'm thinking that I might buy two laptops. I know ABSOLUTELY
nothing about them except what they look like and that they are
mobile and that you can buy a little case to carry them in. That
is it!
These are the two goals:
1. difficult child wants a laptop for schoolwork and for his own internet
use. I am eager for him to be OFF our computer.
2. husband wants a laptop to use for his community service work. He
is Chairman or President of two organizations and wants to do
grant research have his e-mail available wherever he goes AND he
wants to learn how to do powerpoint presentations.
difficult child is 17 (going on 12 or 22 depending on the day) and husband is 75
(acting 50 somedays and 90 on others).
I am looking at:
1. 1GB Presario Laptop, 1GB memory and 60GB hard drive, builtin wireless b/g, Windows vista, burns and plays DVDs&CDs on sale for
$299.
2. 1 Satellite Laptop with AMD Athlon 64x2 dual core processor,
1 GB RAM, 120 girlfriend hard drive, wireless, dvdrw. $ 399.
Does either one seem to be OK for my "men"?? I know that more
memory and hard drive space is better. I have no idea about the
rest of it. by the way, do these things come with a built-in mouse?
Do they attach to any printer, scanner machine or do they have to
be programed to work with a specific one? H e l p, please. DDD
