I need to purchase an entry level laptop for work. Thing is, I'd prefer one with Vista OS. Any one can recommend an online store >?

What do people think of LG notebooks? What is the quality like.
Give me a price range and PM me your e-mail address ... and I will send you a quote. I have access to almost every single laptop out there ...
Also, the prices on my website can be used as a guideline, but I will do better prices for you.
Regards

Why the hell would you actually WANT Vista? It is the spawn of Satan. I'm aware of people trying to find laptops that DON'T have Vista pre-installed, but chances are high if you actually want that beast you could pretty much buy any laptop and it will have it

Looks like a very good notebook for what you are looking for. I like the fact that it at least has pcmcia slots for some expansion.

No but I am having difficulty convincing my wife to abandon the dark side and need to get her a new laptop as her Acer is about to implode.
[ot]Ya, I'm just working on the complete overhaul of my site with the developers ... I'm hoping it will be ready in about 3 or so weeks.
Thank you for the input though.[/ot]
With Vista???
I'm looking for a entry level laptop as well but without Vista, I don't care that it's new, I want XP. Between 5K and 7K. Just for programming and the net, long battery life, decent display, dont need a huge hard drive but would prefer going big on the RAM maybe a gig of 2.Asus X50R-AP170P - Windows XP Pro - R5900
Gigabyte N521U-165 - Windows XP Pro - R5900
Gigabyte N521U-205 - Windows XP Pro - R7100
LG K2-2279AB - Windows XP Pro - R7100 (most expensive feature wise)
Only problem with these is they are only 512mb ... and the first two and the LG are both Celeron.
You would have to pay another R470 for an extra 512mb DDR2 533.
Also ... the battery life on these is the standard 3 - 4.5 hours
