Screen Specifics
11) What screen resolution(s) would you prefer?
No idea on this one.
NOTES:
~ I need an HDMI port and a VGA port
~ A Chicklit keyboard would be nice
I would prefer it if it comes with a Windows disk, or if a disc can be requested.
If it does not, can I install Windows from a standard torrent DVD and use my license key? Would that be illegal? Because I absolutely hate the crap-ware new laptops come with.
I was looking at this HP model: 1313AX - *h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&docname=c03135742
PS: Since I dont need a really high end machine should I go cheap and get a 22-25k range one? Or should I be a little future proof with a better machine?
