do not just judge by the looks. first of all if ur looking cheap its:dell. if it can a bit more "complex" it should be toshiba. The Toshiba is one of the leading companies in selling laptops and my self am using a Toshiba satellite P35-S605. it gives me power (3.46Ghz) with pentium 4 processor. If ur looking for quality:Toshiba. If your looking for cheap:dell.

Not sure about cheapest ( for the most part with regards to computers ) you get what you pay for kind of deal but as for good make in terms of external I would say Lacie ( I have a maxtor and it hasnt failed me yet , I dont want to speak to soon though !!! )\n\nAs for price www.newegg.com and www.tigerdirect.com are 2 ones that I see mentioned a lot. As for the rest I would recomend checking out reviews, etc and the rest is between you and god lol

I see you have a lot of opinions out here.  I recommend that you do look at the Notebookreview.com website that another user recommended but also check out www.notebookforums.com where people discuss real issues and how to fix problems versus marketing hype.\n\nThe short of it all is All laptops are pretty much the same.  They get the job done.  My only recommendations is \n\nDO NOT BUY a CONSUMER machine.\n\nYou will notice that most of the major manufacturers have a Corporate version and a Consumer version.  The Corporate version tends to be more rugged.  I have a lot to laptops.  Although I have Macs and PCs I do not have a MAC laptop.\n\nI would stay away from the Sony because Sony is more trendy than sturdy.  The best (most solid work horse) are my Think Pads.  I don't know about Lenovo's version but they are probably pretty good. My Dells, are good but they are Corporate, not consumer, and my Gateways are excellent performers.  Toshiba used to be good but you could not give me one today.\n\nNow, HP.....Well, HP did not make good laptops until they bought Compaq and even then the Presarios were crap but the Armada were dang good. \n\nWhichever one you decide on, Go into a local store - CompUSA, MicroCenter, Costco, Sams, Best Buy, Wal-Mart and touch and feel all of the machines that your are considering.  Look for good solid construction and a good screen.   Then write down your choices.  Check Notebookforums for real problems, and then look for discounts!!!!\n\nMC.

In my experience, we go to bestbuy every week until a sale and rebate apply to a good laptop simultaneously.  That way you get a new, fully warrantied pc for a "better" price.  I've only ever paid slightly (5-7 percent) more than the average ebay price, but save a lot of hassle.

If you're looking for a nonworking one for parts, or just for a used one, you can try eBay - they currently have 500+ auctions that are selling whole laptops and various parts (front bezels, batteries, HD caddies, etc.).

I just bought a laptop from http://www.ebay.com, but the only problem there is, you never know exactly what you are getting. If you use EBay and trust me and know what you are doing then that is a great place to go. \n\nhttp://www.dell.com\nhttp://www.hewlettpackard.com\nhttp://www.gateway.com

Check out Dell... You can get discount coupons at deals2buy.com. You can have really good configuration for $1,000 to $1,300 + Tax if applicable.\nIf you dont have budget constraints then go for Apple's MacBook Pro. At $2,499 you can get a 2.16 GHz, 1 GB RAM and 100 GB Hard Drive beauty.

Notebook for as low as $500 won't get you a new computer.  I find it impossible to find it, but you can still find notebook, refurbished or used in that price.  It depends where you bought the refurbished notebook as different stores has their own policy - some would even carry the same warranty as a new one.\n\nIf you're looking for used, try www.Craigslist.org\n\nIf money is no object, electronic stores or Dell for instance has great price usually around this time (graduation gift) or near school starts.

wht brand laptops do they sell?

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...

I have had good luck with Dell laptops, and they have easy payment plans and good pricing but I can suggest a couple of other links too for looking at laptops.

If you want good value for money, don't buy the brand name crap. Go to Centralfield (in Sham Shui Po) and take a look at their offer. Or check their website: http://www.centralfield.com/2004/Bto_nb/BTO_index1.html (but there's not much English there).\n\nI bought this Centrino laptop last year - Pentium M 1.6, 512MB RAM (upgradeable to 1GB), 60GB HDD, 15" 1400*1050 LCD, DVD+CDRW and ATI Mobility Radeon 9700, for HK$8750 (about US$1125), and I'm really happy with it. Anything comparable made by big brands was over HK$12000.\nAnyway, prices have dropped quite a bit since last year.\n\nOf course, you can also find some cheap crap like slow Celerons with 256MB RAM for HK$5000 or so.
