My desktop shit itself and I need a graphics card for under 75$ (I just got a new 4k Alienware, so I dont want to spend any real money on my crap desktop). The only requirement is that it have two ports since I like to run two monitors. Here is what I am thinking for the Graphics Card Newegg.com - EVGA 01G-P3-N959-TR GeForce 9500 GT 1GB 128-bit DDR2 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ALSO, and more importanly I am looking for a netbook. Like I said I just got a new Alienware, so I am literally looking for the cheapest piece of shit netbook I can get. The only thing this netbook needs to be able to do is run the Microsoft Office Suite, and be able to browse the web for my needs in my classes (I am not bringing my 14 pound, 18.4 inch laptop to class every day). The two requirements here are that it must be under $250 (The cheaper the better) and I value long battery life here. I would also like it if it is available to buy from a brick and mortar store like Best Buy so I can go check it out before I buy it, but this is not that important. Here is what I am thinking Toshiba - Mini Netbook / Intel® Atom™ Processor / 10.1" Display / 1GB Memory / 250GB Hard Drive - Blue - NB505-N500BL PLEASE HELP ME! Link to comment

As for the Netbook yours seems to be the best unless you want to go with a dual core(1.66ghz) and up to 10 hours of battery life apparently. Newegg.com - Open Box: ASUS Eee PC 1015PX-MU17-WT White Intel Atom N570(1.66GHz) Dual Core 10.1" WSVGA 1GB Memory 250GB HDD Netbook Link to comment

The original warranty is still good. So all the stuff; battery, adapter, manual, other stuff, should be in the box as well? Because on the Newegg website it makes it sound like some of that stuff may not be there... Link to comment

If this worries you just go with the Toshiba you first posted since it is still a good netbook for that price. Link to comment

I dont care about any accessories really, I just want to make sure the laptop comes with a battery and an adapter. Link to comment
*Queen VenomousFate* Posted July 31, 2011 Content Count: 2306 Joined: 02/28/08 Status: Offline Share Posted July 31, 2011 That laptop is sold out anyways. How about this one here? Its dual core with 13 hour battery. Its a little over the price I wanted to pay, But would it be worth it to buy this over the $229 Toshiba above?
