Laptop for dvd movies
I want to purchase a cheap laptop for mainly playing dvd movies in the car
on trips, plus we can use it for other things if needed as well. Nothing spectacular, because I will use my home sustem for most things. Portable dvd players are outrageously priced with too small a viewing screen for my liking. What is the minimum specs that I need to be looking for to basically play a dvd movie? Thanks for your help. Pam Signa -- Stress is when you wake up screaming and realize you haven't fallen asleep yet. "Last night fear knocked on my door, faith answered and no one was there" |

Any current laptop that comes with a DVD drive in it will be fine.

I would avoid anything with an Intel integrated ("Extreme Graphics")
chipset - the performance will be poor. Look for a lower-end P4 or Athlon mobile system. With a notebook, repairs being expensive, also get at least a 3-year warranty.
