I agree.  I like good, solid, beefed-up laptops that are really fast and really portable.  Ai...what I would do to have one...

First of all, you need to to know what are the functions you want in a laptop. In other words, you must know what will you be doing with your laptop. \n\nOf course, if your budget is not a major problem I'm sure the salesperson can help you in choosing the right one for your needs. The first laptop I bought doesn't have the function to burn music into the disc so I have to buy an external CD burner. \n\nSo, you should shop around, read about different kinds of laptop and its functions or ask for opinion from friends who are well-versed in computer.

Go with the laptop.  It has just as much power as a desktop and is easier to maintain.  The mobility of a laptop is another plus.  You can use it as a CD and DVD player where ever you are.  They are easy to network and most colleges are wifi equipped so they can be used anywhere.  I have two laptops and a desktop and rarely use the desktop.

neither!\nyou hardly need 2GB RAM in a notebook, and secondly a 7200RPM disk is not that faster as a 5400RPM and btw you lose 20GB.

Pros: It has Intel Core Duo Processors. Its the best solution for your entertainment needs. The graphics is AWESOME and the quality of sound and picture is amazing.\n\nCons: Its for entertainment value. Its heavy than most laptops and they have superfluous software in the computer that even 1 GIG of RAM cant handle. You can expect it to slow down as you add more programs into it.\n\nI agree with you on the security. I think it will offer less security with all the addons and programs that will get built into it.

There's no reason a laptop shouldn't be as reliable as a desk top if you take reasonable care of it.   But for the same power (memory, processor speed, disk size and speed), it will certainly be more expensive.\n\nYou can have internet everywhere there is WiFi available, and for extra money, you can get a wireless modem that connects to one of the cell phone data services.\n\nIf portability isn't important to you, you're probably better off getting a desktop machine.  You should be able to use your current display with it and avoid having to buy a new one, assuming you're happy with it.\n\nYou can buy used laptops, if you decide to go that way, on eBay, assuming you trust that sort of thing.

Messing with latops is best left to a computer shop. I rip apart and put together desktops all day but would probably not do much at all with a laptop.

The MacbookPro is definately worth the money.  The "overheating" that is spoken of is due to it working so dang fast (in not so technical terms).  People that complain of it are most often using this portable computer as a laptop... don't put it on your lap... the bottome does get very warm.\n\nThe new 17 inch has some more amazing features, such as better stereo speakers, remote,  and amazingly large lcd screen.  It comes with Tiger OS and ilife '06 bundled in.  \n\nI agree the Macbook is a large investment (get the applecare protection plan on it), but you may get a lower price if you have anything to do with a local school or university (attend, teach, alumni).  Their student pricing is extremely reasonable.

I use a laptop and seldom switch it off.Usually like for and hour or two in a week..But it runs perfect and is not slow at all..I live in canada and tend to keep my window open ..Now it is winter and I havent switched off my notebook for 1 week..The room temperature has been varying between -2 to +2 degree C..depending on the time of the day..

First, talk to your college.  \n\nBut laptops cost more, break easily, cost more to expand and fix and get stolen.   If you can, get a desktop.  Use a laptop only if you MUST.  \n\nFor a desktop, consider a Dell.   For a laptop, look at a Toshiba.\n\nGood luck and Happy computing.

laptops are cheaper outside India, believe me... But when you are asking someone to get one for you, make sure he removes the box and everything so that when questioned, he can answer that it is his own laptop and is taking along with him as he has some work with it... by doing it this way, the laptop reaches you without any duty on it...

i'd take the former of the two options. i pretty much already do that while still living in a big city. life is very lonesome for me, but it beats the hell out of having to talk to a bunch of idiots everyday. all i need is my skateboard, a few notebooks, and my guitar

The Apple MacBook could be the laptop your'e looking for. It may seem more expensive at first but it will last far longer for you as well as the lack of viruses, spyware, adware, trojans, etc. It also comes with a lot more applications and software than most windows-run laptops. I believe they're going to incorporate bootcamp soon so if you visit an apple store or something they can help you out with that as well. You can also get a 100 dollar student discount on the laptop through apple. The website below has all the specifications. any questions feel free to email me. I use both often and have a much easier time with the Macs as far as not having to do any maitenance for it.\n\nOh and it also comes with an application called Dashboard that Windows lacks. It's a program that has widgets and just a ton of  awesome stuff in general.
