[well I asked yesterday suggestion for MSDN subscription :-)))]
Ok, I want to buy a notebook for personal use. Here are my basic requirements: I would have IIS, SQL Server, .Net, MS Office among other utilities and software. I want to use this laptop for developing and learning. So I will be writing and testing programs. I would probably load beta versions of software too. I intend to use it at home, yet will likely carry it to work (will not necessarily hook to the enteriprise network).
I am looking at a DVD writer and some wireless networking too. I need DVD writer to burn the stuff I record from my camcorder. I do not intend to use this laptop as a multi-media device or watch movies.
What are your suggestions in terms of the configuration, based on my specifications? I was thinking of atleast 1giga memory with 80GB hard disk. I am confused between Intel Mobile (p4) and Intel Centrino. I don’t know which one I should go for.
Also what are your suggestions as far as branding? I heard “Made in Japan” Sonys are better than “Made in China” Sonys.
Thanks….
