I have been looking around quite a lot of places. I have had my current laptop for 4 years and its time for a new one.
I am looking for something with these specifications:
Downgrade able to xp(drivers can be found for xp)
Atleast 2gb of ddr2 ram
A decent video card of atleast 128mb ram.
screen size between 13.3 inches and 15.4
built in wireless with (wap2 support optional)
Atleast 160gb hard drive
Atleast 4 usb ports
No webcam
HD RPM: 7200(not required)
Battery: 9cell(or whatever will last on a good war driving trip,etc)
Good processor
Some durability won't hurt
Affordable for a student
United States
This laptop won't be used for gaming or anything. Just for running things like 700mb for a VM, photoshop, firefox, firewall, wmp, and run smoothly.
I really don't know much about hardware so your help would be great. I am a student so I am trying to find something affordable.
