I'm looking to get a laptop for my business. Of course, just about anything will do for what I run, word, a billing program, etc. However, I'd like something that will at least run CS:S, if only minimally. I'm also looking at portability, so something in the 14-15" screen range. Reliability is a must.
My budget atm is $1k and it must have 1GB of ram (likely means buying a separate chip with the computer). This could increase depending on business.
My problem when looking at these things is that it all seems foreign. Last I upgraded my desktop was nearly 2 years ago. Processor names and such have changed. Seeing "dual core" and not really knowing if that's better or not, as an example.
Anyway, some specific advice, or places where there's good info would be appreciated.
