I would like to thank IBM for having such a crappy online ordering process that I have decided to buy from a different company. I would have purchased an IBM Thinkpad R, but whenever I would try to pick the parts I wanted, the price would always be “NA”. Maybe that means they are sold out of Thinkpad Rs, but they could have told me in a better fashion.
Because of this set back, I might just buy a laptop from Compaq. If someone had told me last week that I was going to get a Compaq, I would have laughed my ass off. Instead, I have fallen in love with the Compaq Presario 900. As of right now, it is looking like I will be getting these specs:
- Mobile Athlon XP 2000+
- 256 MB 266MHz DDR
- 30 gig hard drive
- 8x DVD drive
- Built-in 56k modem and 10/100 NIC
14.1″ XGA Display
The laptop is a bit beefier than my last one (1.5″ thick and 6.8 lbs), but it shouldn’t be a noticeable difference.
