Hello guys,

Planning to ask my frnd to get a good multimedia laptop from U.S..
Please suggest me some good models below 1000 USD.

some of my requirements are

1. Core 2 duo Processor, 250 Gb HDD, 2 GB Ram, 15.4 inches wide screen.
2. Preferablly with hdmi ports and a good graphics card.
3. and ofcourse should look cool :)

Keeping the above things in mind, I was leaning towards HP.
How are HP Laptops? Can anyone suggest some good models ?

Plz also feel free to suggest good models from other brands as well..

Thanks !

Go for Compaq or Acer models as they are better value for money. HP charges for its premium segment image. And Compaq is a lesser priced model chain from HP. And if looks are foremost for you and you can extend your budget for looks go for Sony.
