I guess it has Windows XP installed. I only hate the graphic card, that is a sh¡t but I\'m using it as school-work only. What do you think?

I\'ve also bough a printer: HP Laserjet 1200, nice laser printer.

Both devices, laptop + printer has cost me 2200$
What do you think?

PD: Will I be able to install MS office 2000 in xp OS or I must buy office xp?

Post by: Seed_Of_Evil on October 11, 2002, 10:30:58 AM: heheh, thanx tyrant... I would wanted to buy a better one, but considering what will be the work of the laptop and my money, i think it\'s a good election.

Do you really think i will be able to use office 2000 in XP? It would be great.

Post by: Seed_Of_Evil on October 12, 2002, 09:25:11 AM: Kurt I liked more Toshiba 5100-201, which is a better laptop, but my money has a limit and I had to buy this one. Anyway, I\'ll play in my old one, with better graphic card. The printer, by the way, is amazing and the quality of the letters/graphics is awesome.

Title: What do you think of my new laptop?
Post by: jiggs on October 12, 2002, 02:08:47 PM: Have you tried any games on your laptop yet? If so how do they run and look? And I was saying that machine is far more powerfull than most desktops out there.

Sorry for my lack of clarity but that is one hell of a rig for a laptop. The ultimate.

Post by: Seed_Of_Evil on October 13, 2002, 03:49:48 AM: Yes Soul, it will be used for school-work mainly. Anyway, I think there won\'t be any problem gaming to chess game or puzzle ones, where 3D are not required.
