[GLLUG] New notebook purchase advice requested

[Brian Hoort]

Friends,

My laptop broke.  :(  I'll have to buy a new one.  :)

I'm interested in their basic, least expensive, entry-level model.  Choices 
like Dell, Gateway, Toshiba, Sony are obvious.  I'll look into those 
myself.  However, I don't really need Windows, and I'm thinking I can save 
~$80 going with a manufacturer that will allow you to not purchase Windows. 
Any experience with other manufacturers?  Any advice

Thanks,


Brian Hoort
