Here's a question for the experts. I realize that laptops (yes, laptops, not netbooks) are relatively pricey, and that it's usually not worth the prices at all [ie: Dell's Alienware]. You can customize the hardware from their site, but it's not worth it. I've never really opened up a laptop (due to no experience), but I've often opened up PCs to clean out the fans, etc. So I know my way around a PC rather well. I know with my current laptop, I have mostly integrated stuff, so I can't change out most of the stuff I'd like to change out.
I am looking for a decent laptop that can handle business applications. Not so much as for gaming, because I don't really use my laptop(s) to play videogames anyways. Any specific brand, memory size, or etc that you guys would highly recommend? I just need something that can handle running Visual Basic, etc. Just a decent computer that can handle multiple tasks. Specifics would be nice, because I honestly don't know how much RAM I want. I was thinking about 4GB, because that's always the standard these days with the newer laptops. My current one only has 2GB. As for HDD, that doesn't really matter because I plan on using an external HDD.
