-I paid $750
-4 GB's of RAM
-Intel Core 2 Duo(2.0 GHz)
-16" LED displaying 1366x768
-ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4500 series(512 MB's of dedicated video ram)
-Back-lit keyboard with a full number pad.
-Built-in harmon/kardon speakers.
Thats pretty much all of the major things. Its been a great laptop so far, and it should be even better with the free upgrade to Windows 7. I even got Batman: Arkum Asylum to play on Max settings quite smoothly.
Sorry, but a few more things...

I own a Dell xps M140 which cost $1375 16 months ago; just bought my daughter a Dell XPS M1210 which was $1425...I am thrilled with both of them and will only step away from Dell if I decide to go the big bucks with Apple...

Our school paid $1000 and I paid the other $1000 for a Dell Latitude D800 2 years ago.
It was a deal for teachers. We converted all our classrooms to "smart" classrooms w/projectors and big screens. If a teacher wants to use a laptop, it makes powerpoint, etc. much easier.

I don't own no stinkin' laptop. Why? Because my desktop is where I compute, and when I travel I only carry a 5 iron.

I bought a Toshiba Sattelite back in 1998 and it cost me about $1799, but I won't complain because it just died (the hard drive) in 2007...so after 9 years of constant and heavy usage it served me well. Just wish I had more warning to know the hard drive was going to die out....could have saved my photos and other items on an external or discs. Oh well! Nothing I couldn't recoup though. I wish I could find another one that was still going. Those laptops even survived drops to concrete floors with nothing more than a scuff or two to the case. Although it did weight quite a bit compared to today's laptops.
$800 for a new HP dv2120us w/2gb memory & 120gb hd.

This is a widescreen, dual-core 2gHz with 1 gB memory and 160 GB storage, Nvidia gForce 7600. With a Wacom Intuos3 graphics tablet, a fine portable computer graphics machine.
Downside is weight - over 7 lbs, and about 10 with tablet and case.

Dual core AMD, 15 inch screen. Has XP but I got free Vista to install. Haven't done that yet. I love this laptop. Bought it in December. No negatives to report.

At Best Buy, I bought this laptop for my college bound son. After adding another 1G memory, it is very fast with excellent graphics. Good enough to run WarCraft with no lag.
$2600

I paid $814 for my Dell last summer. That included a Microsoft Office package purchased from a seperate vendor. I've had no problems with my unit.
Dell Inspiron 1720
by debpoye - 8/2/07 5:35 AM In reply to: How much did you pay for your latest laptop? by Lee Koo (ADMIN)
I just ordered it and I am really excited about its arrival. I bought it through aafes.com for $1555.00. It would have cost close to $1900.00 thru the Dell site so I really saved some money and didnt have to pay sales tax! I had a hard time making a decision between the 1520 and the 1720 but eventually went with the 1720 because it is a desktop replacement and although I will move it around but not as much as some may carry their laptop.
Dell Big Bucks

Dell Inspiron 1420 w/Blu-Ray capability, Mcrosoft Vista and Office 2007. Most of the cost was service related that one doesn't have much choic but to accept or not get the item. Over $3.000 with S&H and services. Just got it yesterday and will plug it in today.
Am working on getting a desktop Blu-Ray capable. Am right at the PSU limit for the ATI Radeon HD2900XT. Am trying to decide if obtaining a greater wattage PSU is worth the effort.

I got my laptop as a referb from HP 4 years ago I paid around 600$ for it. It's served me well but it's time for replacement and is slower than January mud!
