• Looking for a good movie-watching/music-playing laptop
    5 replies, posted
Well my portable DVD player cannot get through a movie without losing its juice and my laptop's battery is so bad that it doesn't work unless it's plugged in. I think I might as well get a new laptop rather than a laptop and dvd player. These are the things I want in the new laptop: -Under or at 400 USD, preferably around $300 -Has optical drive (duh) -Long battery life -A decent amount of space (80GB or more is preferred) -Optional: Can run Minecraft, not everything to me but it would be nice -Try not to look on Newegg, as I have to pay taxes there.
If your laptop is still of decent specs you might just look into getting a new battery. Usually costs $50-$80.
Well it has only 1gb of ddr memory and a really slow pentium processor, plus the hard drive is only 40 gb.
Anyone? :C
The most you'll get for $400 is a netbook. Asus makes good products: [url]http://usa.asus.com/Eee/[/url] [editline]22nd May 2011[/editline] Additionally, there's very little chance of getting an optical drive in any $400 computer. You're probably going to have to give up on that hope.
Save up a little more money. [editline]23rd May 2011[/editline] $600 at least.
