lol..I would too. Unfortunately that is a little out of my price range. Rhoni can you afford 500?
If so there are always deals. I have seen LTs at Walmart for a regular non sale price of 400 or so

Re: New Laptop
Sounds like a good deal! My dear husband got me a new laptop... Dell Inspiron E1705... wowowo, it has been an adjustment. The keyboard and no mouse takes some practice.
My dh helped a nephew start a computer biz in 97. We are blessed with computers for life. Patting dh on back and thanking the Lord!
Actually, it is for my online business. This time when I visit my Mother in Louisiana who lives north of New Orleans. I may hafta go outside to use it.

Re: New Laptop
We need to buy a good laptop for our oldest son to take to college with him in August. I'd like to spend as little as possible for it. But since he's going to majoring in Computer Science with a specialty in Computer Animation and Video Game Design I suppose I need to know more about what he'll need for that. Any suggestions, anyone?
btw, congrats, Prax!!

Once you go "Mac" you never go back!!!!
Seriously, Macs are great machines for the things you mentioned above and also cinematography as well. They have student discounts, which I took advantage of when I bought mine.

You are going to need to spend more money for a laptop that can handle graphic intensive software like Adobe etc etc....my little laptop would not be the ideal for that. I can probably install my dreamweaver and fireworks and paintshop pro, but if I wanted to work with huge images with many layers it would bog down. Same with video editing. I can edit clips and stuff but get a huge video file and add multiple effects and I will have problems

LOL Good idea. But......... do they offer the program he is interested in (Computer Science degree specializing in video animation and game design)?
And can we afford it?
Oh wait! I forgot. He's already signed up and set to go to Shawnee State University in Portmouth, Ohio. Rats! Wish we woulda known about this huge incentive a few months ago. 
Now, I say all that a little tongue in cheek. But now you've peaked my interest and I'm going to go and do a google search for that school.
