If you can, hold out just a bit longer. Around college and high graduation time, there are a lot of sales and also close to Father's  Day.  So if you can wait until the end of May, you will find great prices.  \nThe other great time is August when there are great back to school sales.\nPs I love my Dell! Make that Dells!

for the best value/performance ratio, i suggest you try checking out aldi or lidl... i know it sounds crazy, but they actually use good quality components from well-known manufacturers such as pioneer and samsung... you don't end up spending money on a brand name.\n\ni got my laptop from lidl about 18 months ago and it was as good a spec as anything out there - and it's still up there, no problems whatsoever.\n\nit also has a three year guarantee, which dell will charge several hundred quid for...\n\notherwise,  toshiba machines are generally regarded as being very reliable. \n\nof course, if you're not doing a lot of gaming, pretty much any laptop will do the trick nowadays. i would advise against a laptop with shared graphics memory however...\n\ntry and get one that has its own dedicated graphics card and video memory...

The best quality laptop for the money is the Dell, Inspiron serious. You can get an excellent, fast laptop, with plenty of memory, for around 500 dollars. I have a Dell, and I think it is excellent. I have tried many of the top brands, and nothing else even comes close to Dell.

I buy a new one every two to three years and spend between $800 to $1000.\n\nYou're never too old for a computer, although I think some adults are still too young for one ;-)\n\nEdited to add: \nI've been using computers since 1989 (DOS). My husband and I were regular visitors to a computer expo where you could have a computer built directly to your specs and for a long time we saved a lot of money this way and ALWAYS had the most up-to-date equipment, biggest hard drives, most RAM, etc.\n\nHowever things change and this is no longer true. Dell, Gateway, HP and others now sell computers with decent specs and at comparable prices to what you could do getting it built to your specs, or building it yourself.\n\nThe only time I would recommend doing a lengthy course of education to build computers is if;\n   ( 1 ) you want to do it as a business or you want to repair them as a business, \n   ( 2 ) you are an extreme gamer and want to push the equipment as far as you can.\n\nIn both of those instances you absolutely need to know what you're doing. Otherwise it's not necessary.

Dell has one going for right now.  You can get a desktop for $350.00 (which is very good for a brand new one, especially a Dell).

HP by a long shot.  Dell has had some very serious problems with their customer (dis)service recently.\n\nWhen you are ready to buy a new system, go to www.stupidcheapcomputers.net.  I buy all of my stuff from them, and everything is Vista ready.\n\nMicrosoft is about to release its latest operating system, Vista, in January.  It’s going to make all of these “bargain” computers nothing but JUNK as soon as it’s released.  The reason that you are seeing so many cheap systems on the market right now is because a lot of them CAN’T RUN Vista and the merchants are trying to dump them as hard and fast as they can before Vista shows up and everyone learns what a piece of crap they were sold for $500 (or whatever).\n\nAnyway, I bought a complete, new system from stupidcheapcomputers.net with a warranty for LESS than it would cost me to build it myself or order a custom one from the manufacturer.  You can use my frequent buyer code: ATX926.  That will get an additional 10% discount at checkout.\n\nI have NEVER had any problems with anything that they have sold me and their customer service is outstanding.  Those guys blow my mind.\n\nGood luck!

go to DELL.com, they have great prices on desk tops and laptops.  Not worth buying one second hand.

Dell laptops are affordable.  You can also search for refurbished laptops which is way lot more cheaper.  The only problem of refurbish is that there might be some defetcs on the product like a small red dot on the LCD screen. Sometimes a damaged hardware, but a refurbished product is returned to the company for repair, after that it will be good as brand new but the price will be cheaper.\n\nI suggest you buy the specs you needed for your work since cheaper latops may sometimes never satisfy your needs. That way you might end up buying another, which will cost you twice as much. So, buy a much hi-tech laptop and take GOOD CARE of it!

Well, on my Eisley answer, you are welcome. I think it would good to buy a dell. They are cheapish and work well. You may want an apple though. I use an apple all the time. They work the best.

If you buy directly from Dell, you can get some really good deals.  They are awesome computers too.

Dell's are a great value, they are rather pricier than the competition. HP is a good performer, it is quite solid, the lid hinge is a prblem because after 20 rotations, the screen becomes all wobbly. E machines, are complete bargain notebooks, the new N10 bundle avalible at Wal-Mart is a solid performer. It is a quite basic notebook, but i have one and it runs well, although the proprietary sempron processor is kind of lousy, i would replace it with a Core Xeon which is Intel. Emachines didn't really do well prior to the n10 especially the M2105 which my brother has, the battery runs down and wears out quickly, hinge is too. wobbly. You are better of with a Dell if you have enough money, they start at around $543, the toshibas start at $739 and the e machines n10 is the only E machines notebook available and it is a great value, consisting of LoJack Laptop Trace, a flash drive, a Targus notebook backpack for only $548.95 at Wal-Mart. It is nice

Unlikely, just sell the Dell, there are plenty of people who will buy it. Then look for good deal on the Mac. Be prepared for the sticker shock initially when purchasing and especially when wanting to upgrade hardware or software. Also get used to having no real choices in these matters.

Hundreds of people buy refurbished laptops every week.  I can't tell whether you made a wise purchase without knowing what u bought and for how much, and what it included.  However, it is safe to say that if you dealt with a reputable company, such as one of the mainstream manufacturers or one of the major refurb sellers, you are probably all right.  I bought one direct from Dell by auction about a year and a half ago, and I was pleased with the deal I got.  My only gripe is that the battery needed replacing after about 9 mos.  \nThe most important thing is to understand what you are getting and what you are not getting.  Read all the info available, and plan on buying software to load if necessary, etc.

Dell.com without a doubt. I've heard experts from Geek Squad say this every time they do an interview on the radio, plus I have one myself, and many of my friends do too. If you call you can specify what you need and don't need so you don't pay for anything you already have, such as a good mouse or keyboard, or even monitor if you have a new one. A lot of times they run free shipping which will save you  almost $100. I would check the website daily for a week or so to get an idea what a good price is as they change often, but with research you can get a great computer at a great price.

the quality of dell computers has really fallen in the last couple of years.  they have started using cheaper processors and microchips.  you can buy one computer from compaq and the same exact computer from dell and dell will charge you so much more.  this is a shame because dell really did have great customer service.

Go to their website, http://www.dell.com, and\nlook under laptops.  They have their entry\nlevel laptop for $449.  \n\nIf you wait for a special (ie. just before school\ngraduation time or Christmas), you could quite\npossibly get a nicer one for the same price.
