Dell or PC World... if you do go to PC World, the advent ones are cheap and cheerful... don't let them talk you into buying anything else for it though (unless its a bag and you want one)!!

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 cheapest laptop is the one that has deal on it...\ncheck out fatwallet.com or dealsea.com\nfrom time to time, there are deals on laptop.\n\nDell has the most deal, and the quality is decent.\npersonally, I use IBM since it is more reliable.\nRecently, IBM has a lot of promotion too.\nThus you can have IBM for quite reasonable price.

I got a great deal on my newly purchased laptop from http://www.circuitcity.com -- they usually offer online rebates.  Also, check out www.cnet.com -- they will give you reviews on laptops - and also give you websites and pricing from each vendor.

laptop computers can be a rather tricky buy at times, I would suggest that you look out for the cheapest and yet latest desktop on the market, \n\nthe best way to do this is on what they call warehouse sale markets some of them are online.\n\nthese warehouse owners have a service where they sell laptop computers to normal customers like you and me, however with very reduced prices due to the fact that they do not have as much costs as normal shops do, such as rent and a employees etc. as you know most online shops have rather competitive prices sometimes cutting the laptop price to a half.\n\none such website for laptop computers is :\n\nhttp://umgarticles.atspace.com/laptop-computer.htm

Look on ebay. In most cases an older laptop with P4 (1.4 - 1.8 GHz), 512MB Ram, 30 - 40 GB HD, DVD/CD-RW will do it. You should get 'em for $600 - 700. Look for\nIBM Thinkpad\nSony Vaio\nHP Omnibook

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

You should first decide on your budget and your intended uses of the laptop. If you only have $500 to spend then you should seriously consider a refurbished laptop. A new one will cost $600 to $700 by the time it shows up at your door.\n\nDell spends the most on promoting their product and their direct sales model allows them higher margins. This allows them to compete with the other majors Lenovo (IBM), HP and Toshiba. Toshiba and IBM make the best laptops and since calling Dell can be a complete hassle should there be a problem I would consider Toshiba or IBM.\n\nRather than worrying about the manufacturer I would concentrate on what you intend on using the laptop for and the features that matter the most and of course your budget.\n\nOnce you have figured that out then look at what IBM and Toshiba offer and if you must compare it to a similar Dell.\n\nDell runs teasers all the time, but this means people spend more than they intend on spending. Since, you will keep the laptop 3-4 years buying the most appropriate laptop for you needs is the most cost effective strategy.\n\nSo, the long and short of it is type "used laptop" or "refurbished laptop" into google and see which site comes and check out the top 2-3. You might be surprised and find a decent refurbished laptops for an amazing $350.  If you want new and have figured out the features you need, if battery life is most important, if weight is most important then compare similar models from IBM and Toshiba and decide which one best meets your needs.

You don't need to spend much to browse the web and check e-mail.  A refurbished laptop for $300 or less will do the job.  Browsing the web only requires Win 98 and 64MB RAM, but I recommend at least 128MB RAM.  E-mail requires almost nothing in the way of computing power.  Type "used laptops" or "refurbished laptops" into Google and check out the top two or three companies that you find.
