Looking for a laptop...
I'm wanting to buy a cheap laptop for wireless connection around the house and to use when I'm staying in a hotel. So the primary use will be for IE and AIM. Nothing else is really needed. I would LOVE to have it by Saturday before I leave for Cali. Any suggestions??

You might want to try ebay Michelle - for what you're looking for, I'd bet you could find something quite decent for under $500... GL!

Try www.tigerdirect.com they have an inexpensive unit on their front page. I have dealt with them in the past for parts and supplies for my home-built desktop and had no problems.

Plus it will always work and you get a bunch of cool apps to use: iPhoto, iMovie, iDVD (aswell as iTunes). Finally, although you can use AIM on a mac, Apple's own version called iChat is way cool ! You have to go to an apple store and play around with them... Anywho, good luck searching..!

Have you thought about the new handheld things they have coming out these days? I don't know how reliable the connection would be though... Good luck with your laptop search, and as Jay said, I would check eBay.

I have narrowed it down to 2:
Dell http://www1.us.dell.com/content/prod...=19&l=en&s=dhs Gateway http://www.gateway.com/products/GCon...=nx200s&seg=hm Let me know your thoughts...

Looking at the 2 links, I would go with the Dell. But that's only because I've heard about problems with Gateway. I've never had any of them myself, but I almost bought a Dell one time if that counts. But I don't think you can go wrong with any decision if you get the repair/maintenance plan. Good luck with your decision.

I would go with the Dell from those two. I have had both Dell and Gateway for work machines, Dell seemed to have better warranty service
