Hi,
I'm choosing between these:
Gateway - NV5462H - $499.99 NEW
http://www.futureshop.ca/catalog/proddetail.asp?sku_id=0665000FS10137353&CMP=BAC-FS_hbad_t3_s1-EN
-Intel Pentium T4400
-4GB RAM
-250GB HDD
HP - G61-408CA) - $499.99 NEW
http://www.bestbuy.ca/catalog/prodd...id=0926INGFS10137972&CMP=ILC-BBY_hmpg1_slide2
-AMD Athlon II Dual Core M300
-3GB RAM DDR2
-320GB HDD
HP - G60-511CA - $519.99 Demo (no scratches, very good condition)

-Intel Pentium T4300
-4GB RAM DDR2
-250GB HDD
I'm not sure which to get. I don't really mind that the G60 is a demo since I saw the condition of the laptop myself. Price doesn't really matter that much since it's only $20 difference.
I don't game so I don't care about the video card or the sound card, as long as they have one, I'm good. All I really care about is the RAM and the processor.
The Gateway was kind of a no-brainer for me at first because of the specs but I hear from people that it has poor quality and I'm aiming for something that will last for at least 2-3 years. I also read that tech support is almost non-existent. I was also thinking of getting extended warranty for any laptop I buy since I will take them to school everyday. What I will mostly do is programming. Let me know if you guys need anything else.
Thank you.
