Alright guys here's the story.
I want to spend around $800 on a laptop that will be used mainly for coding, but I want the thing to last too. I am willing to splurge a little on price if I find something really really appealing that's a little higher.
I want atleast a 17" screen.
I will not own a Dell.
That's my only two big requirements.
The minimum processor I will go with would be an upper end C2D. I'm really after atleast an I5 ( or I7 if a nice deal pops up.)
RAM atleast 4 gigs, and HD I would prefer a 7200RPM but I can swap that out so I'm not too worried about it.
Here is the unit I have been looking at http://cgi.ebay.com/HP-DV7T-SE-I5-2...ptops_Nov05&hash=item53e55c564d#ht_3369wt_905
however, it is a refurb. Does anyone have any experience with HP refurbs? Or better yet have a laptop with these specs that they would like to sell me?
