laptop for law school

[dgatl]

i know that everyone is about to have huge bills, but I wanted to pass along a link for anyone in the market for a new laptop in law school.  i just got mine for a really good price and its wireless ready and everything you will need in law school (except you might need to get an external floppy if your school requires it).

that deal is beat. id rather go with an avaratec w/ better specs for $500 cheaper

[rainmkr07]

"that deal is beat"  wtf is that

and "avaratec" vs. IBM ?  Man, I like to save the $ too, but that is a horrible comparison. 

Shame on you Ginatio!

it's slang, stating that the ibm offer is not a good deal.

you can get better than that at that price.

and if you fit the original poster's intended audience of someone who is "about to have huge bills" and just needs the laptop to be "wireless ready and everything you will need in law school", then a cheap avaratec is the way to go.

dude is that OJ?

now that picture, being on these law school forums, sure does make a statement doesn't it?

Here's one a C cheaper, with slightly better specs without the IBM name.

It's what I got, and it's great so far.

I don't know where you people are shopping, but the prices in CA are way cheaper for the same products out here.  Either you are horrible shoppers, or can't find www.outpost.com

You can get a brand new laptop with most of the fancy gadgets and never pay over a grand for it.  We don't sell IBM's out here though, and why would you place so much money on a name whose parts came from overseas?

Yes, I was joking, you can buy an IBM in CA, just doesn't happen often.
