[clug] Can anyone suggest some place/shop to buy a laptop?

[shih bai]

Hi all,

Sorry if this is far away from the topic of this list. My old laptop was
broken
due to the heavy rain last Sat (heaps of water came in). I am planning to
buy
a new one in Canberra. But I don't know which shop is good (etc. price,
choices).

I ran Gentoo on my old laptop and hope that the new one is compatible as
well.
The price range I can afford is up to 1600, but no more than that. Can some
one
give me some suggestions on the shops, as well as the laptop itself? I list
some
of my expectations for the new one.

*CPU: sometimes I use it to do some computational stuff, so better if the
cache is larger.

*Memory: Doesn't matter now. It's expensive in Aus. I can update it when
I come
 back to my home country.

*Monitor: I prefer as least 15.4 as i am nearsighted.

*Graphic Card: Doesn't matter.

*Harddrive: >120G is ok for me.

*Warantty: 1 or 2 year is OK and better to have a service outlet
in Canberra.

Thanks!
