I just bought a Sony laptop to I can give you some info. First of all, buying laptops in the US are a HELL of a lot cheaper. I bought a Sony Vaio FS840 which goes for around $ 1,100 in the US. The same thing costs about $ 1,600 in Pakistan and this is after hectic negotiations. The negative is that the process of purchasing and bringing the laptop over from the US can be a bit much. Secondly, the warranty issued by the US will not be covered in Pakistan. I think (definitely not sure about this) that if you discuss it with them, the warranty might be honored in Dubai. Final suggestion, if you can bring the laptop over from the US without hassle, that is the thing to do. For the money you save, even if something goes wrong, it will still be cheaper to get it fixed.

I would not buy an old used Laptop.   Your daughter needs it to last the whole year.   But on a budget, you might take a look at the Toshiba at WalMart.  It's around $700.\n\nLaptop safety is a concern.  Laptops are the NUMBER ONE stolen item in America.  You see, someone can steal a $700 laptop and sell it HOT for under $300.   Make sure that your daughter doesn't turn her back on the computer.    \n\nIt's a PC which means PERSONAL COMPUTER.  That means.... LOAN IT OUT TO NOBODY, it's PERSONAL.  \n\nWith a laptop, you need a good carry-case that is well padded and designed for notebook computers.  HEY, MAYBE you should get a LOCK.

Hello from APO, AE 09320.  As you may know, when downrange it's hard to get much of anything in a timely fashion, however, I can tell you that it depends largely on what you're shopping for. \n\nAmazon, if I may offer the insight, is where I spend most of my "online buck", however, unless you purchase brand new stuff from them, and you use the, "used" option.  (Great for books and CD's), you're still stuck paying a ton of shipping.\n\nFor electronics, hands down...J&R out of New York.  I spent a little over $3500 with them on a new laptop, external, and iPod, and it made it to Kabul in FOUR DAYS, for free.  Tiger Direct is also a popular electronics retailer that I know a lot of folks on this installation use.\n\nI hope that this is a help to you.  Check out www.epinions.com, to check out companies and products.  It's pretty cool when you can't go to a "brick and mortar" store to actually check things out for yourself.  I use that site a lot over here.\n\nC.

Sounds like you want a lot but don't want to pay for it. Kinda like where I work! Just kidding.\n\n1. Watch the advertisements and sales flyer's. Read all the information, I.e. Hard drive size, memory size, DVD and CD writer (Yes, should write DVD as well as CD), and\nscreen size, and the operating system.\n\nA decent laptop will have 1024MB Ram, 80GB Hard Drive or larger, A DVD +/- R/RW and CD-R/RW Drive. Most newer laptops will have a "Lightscribe and/or Dual Layer Drive. Windows XP Home has been replaced by the Windows Media operating system and dealers are now offering free or low cost upgrades to the new Vista OS. Battery life is very important if you travel. Look for three to four hours use on a single charge. \n\nNewer Laptops will have a "Media Card Reader" in place of the old 3.5" diskette drive and feature USB and Firewire Ports along with Wireless G or better Networking. You may also find the old standby of a Dialup Modem on some models and even a hardwired RJ-45 socket for a LAN connection. Last, there should be a VGA Monitor out port and Line-In, Line-Out, and Headphone jacks.\n\nCPU: These days everyone is talking the new Dual processor systems. Both Intel and AMD make these. The advantage of using an AMD is in price. You can trade off less Hard Drive and memory if you go with the Intel CPU since they cost more or go with the AMD Turion and put money in larger a hard drive and memory.

I have a Acer Aspire 5620. Comparing this to Compaq, HP and Toshiba laptops at the same price point, the Acer is far superior. \nIf you choose to buy an Acer, get it from shopacer.co.uk. Their prices are much more competitive.

I would not purchase a laptop from Walmart.  \n\nEasiest thing to do would be to buy one from CompUSA, Circuit City or BestBuy.  I do not recommend one of the other but they are all retailers that sell a large number of systems and many times have reasonably knowledgeable representatives.  I would stay away from any system with a anything lower than the following specs....\n\nRAM Storage 1 GB (1000MB)\nHard Drive 120 GB\nOS - XP Home or Pro\nDVD \nIntegrated Wireless Card\nI also AMD chips but you could make an argument that Intel Chips are just as good.\n\nRAM is Random Access Memory - basically it is work space.  When the machine is turned off anything in RAM is lost\n\nHard Drive is where your data is stored including your operating system, word processors and any papers you may be writing.\n\nProcessor - AMD/Intel is actually the brains of your machine.\n\nOperating system - Windows - this is your graphical interface you use to navigate the computer\n\nDVD - allows you to install from DVD and watch DVD's on your laptop.\n\nWireless - will allow you to easily connect at Wireless Hotspots (i.e. on campus, airports, hotels, etc.)\n\nHope this helps!

if you buy a dirt cheap laptop, you will get what you pay for, save a little money, you can find used and refurbs cheap, I sell them all the time in my shop that I take as trade ins and refurbish, starting at 200.00. You can get them and not be ripped off

does it matter the make, model, and year? i just purchased a laptop and have an old one a friend was thinking about buying. i would much rather give it to someone who could really use it and has a greater need for it.

I suggest you figure out what you are going to being using the laptop for and how much you have budgeted.  If it will only be used an hour or so every few days and you only plan on browsing web pages and doing e-mail an old refurbished laptop for $300 might work fine.  If at the other extreme you are a gamer and need a very fast CPU, lots and lots of RAM and a graphics chip then $3000 might be required.  If you travel all the time the battery life and size might be the most important consideration.

If you get junk mail from department stores, check those out. I saw a laptop in a BigW catalogue for $1500. Acer with 512mb ram, 60gb hd. nice.

The specs are great. Make sure you shop around for the best deal first try PC World and http://www.dabs.com but you can't get a laptop of much better quality than that.\n\nHope this Helps!

Hello,\nIt depends on ur needs that what do u want to do with laptop or computer. If u just want to do the typing or document making work then a Rs. 10,000 computer will work fine. If u want to play latest games then u need a powerful assembled or company's computer like having good graphics card, good ram, good processor, motherboard etc. etc. The starting range of good comp. will cost u almost Rs. 30,000. If u watch movies and songs and need good sound output then u have to buy a comp with good speakers and a big moniter. It depends on the price of speakers and moniter and other components. And if u travel place to place and want to do work during travel or want to save space then u have to buy a laptop with good battery power and other components. Starting range will cost around Rs. 35,000.\nAnd for RAM the latest is DDR2 RAM in India and u have to buy a good motherboard to use it.

Speed is overrated, as you can't type faster than a Pentium 90 MHz CPU, unless you want to play game.  Same thing about memory unless you games are important.  256MB is plenty for most typical needs.  Your connection speed is more important. Lots of people like the Macs, but the market is far larger for Windows based PCs.  All the new ones have wifi and most have DVD-CDRW.  IBM and Toshiba are the best PC based laptops.  Now size is major.  Laptops weight between 4 to 10 pounds.  All the major manufacturers have products in that price range.  I like the latest from IBM the model T60.  However, they are expensive.

Given the lack of detail in your question, i.e. your location in particular, your best bet would be to go to Google for your country, then choose the "Froogle" option, then enter your search criteria. It's a very powerful and flexible tool for product search, comparison and pricing.\n\nGood luck. And on a separate note I have had very good experience with the Acer Aspire line. I bought one for my wife, then my mother, then myself and found the value to be excellent (i.e. good features and performance for lowest price compared to others). The screens are great and so far all three laptops have been very reliable. I highly recommend it.
