Which laptop should i buy?
594175
All laptops are verysimilar in price/ spec.  Your biggest concern is how long can I use it.  An extended warranty with accidental breakage if your biggest expense in the laptop purchase (usually $300) You'll be thankful you bought it, a broken screen is $700 to repair, a bad laptop is upwards of $300.  One failure of the hard drive paid for the warranty.  Bcuz laptops are subject to more abuse they have the tendancy to break more.  The dog/cat/friend will trip on the power cord and break the charging pin on the motherboard.  Motherboard replacement is usually around $400.  Don't worry so much about the brand as you should about the ability to get it fixed when needed.  gateway has always done me justice when my laptop failed.

maybe you should buy the first one. the size of your hard drive is important is you're the type that keeps a lot of movies, pictures, music in your pc. a webcam and mic you can always buy an external one. which may be better than the internal one in the laptop.  the higher the capacity of the ram, the faster you pc goes. so i think both are important. if u want a fast pc..

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...

Personally I recommend Toshiba laptops. They have multiple makes (Satellite and Qosimo among others) and variations of each to fit your budget. [See the link below]\n\nSome extra information: on any laptop, what to watch out for is if the AC power port is on the rear of the laptop, be careful not to tilt the base backwards when opening the screen. This can bend the cord and result in the the port becoming detached internally. That's why no matter what laptop you decide to purchase, I highly recommend spending the extra on a good extended warranty.

I myself would recommend the Asus one. BUT can't you assembly computer from parts ? It will be cheaper than ready-to-go comp for sure. Yeah but if you're buying now then take the Asus.\nHP is for printers.

I would suggest you read product reviews and buying guide from below URL to determine what fit to your require spec:\n\nhttp://reviews.cnet.com/4520-7602_7-1016082-1.html?tag=dir\n\nPersonally, the Sony VAIO VGN-FJ170/B is a good choice for me based on your specification. Good luck.

Dell outlet is fine (http://outlet.dell.com) - I purchased my current laptop through their outlet and am very happy with it.  \n\nI would suggest a Dell Dimension with a decent video card and amount of ram.  For vid pretty much anything Nvidia should be good and try to get at least 1 gigabye of ram. Gaming takes quite a bit more horsepower than web browsing and messaging.

I have 3 laptops, a Toshiba, an HP, and a Dell.  I have to say the Toshiba is by far my favourite.  Dell has the most options, but their prices aren't the best, and their laptops are consistently heavier and run hotter.  The hp's are OK, although their battery life tends to be weak.  My Toshiba is just an awesome little machine - great screen, good battery life, good performance, low price.\n\nI'd suggest looking for one of the new Sattilite models with the Intel core duo processors.

Laptop or Desktop, it solely depends on your choice. Laptops have great flaunt value and mobility, whereas Desktops do not need to depend on batteries. I will give you the list of the components you should be getting and their prices.

Stay away from Laptops. \n\nIf you are serious about gamming Laptops are not the way to go.\nThey produce way to much heat and are hard to upgrade. For around $600 You can get a pre built system with a 200 GB Hard Drive. 1 gig of Ram A DVD/CD Burner An AMD 3500+ processor.\n\nBut whatch out for the ATI or Intergrated Graphics. YOu can get a nice video card for arouns $150 more if you buy one with Intergrated Graphics in it.\n\nCheck out www.newegg.com if you want to build your own or looking for a video card.

Your question is very common, and this is what I have been telling all my friends when they want to buy a laptop:\n\n1. What are you gonna do with it? Typing papers, playing video games, editing audio/video, email, browsing internet?\n\n2. Based on your answer above, you can start looking what kind of laptop that suit best for your need\n\n3. When looking, make sure you consider the following:\n\n- Quality and support are number 1. I assume you are gonna use it for awhile. So you need "a tool" you can count on to get your job done anytime, anywhere\n\n- minimum hardware specs:\n\na. While some offer Celeron processor for budget oriented people, I recommend you at least get Pentium 4 or Pentium Centrino (if you need internet wireless capability)\n\nb. RAM at minimum of 512 MB\nc. Hard disk at min of 40 GB\nd. Windows XP\ne. Microsoft Office for student edition (if you are)\nf. Ethernet adapter (which is usually already built in)\n\nThe rest of configuration is up to you and...your budget :D\n\nHope it helps...

There is not a single person that can choose you your laptop unless you specify what do you use the laptop for, and what is your budget.\n\nFor a laptop that is to be used with a CAD software or image editing software, you definitely need one with a good graphic card. if you need it for a relatively heavy computing task, you need a good CPU. If you use only for basic need, such as using Word, etc you won't need to get a high end computer and can cut the price there.\n\nIf you have excess fund, you can get it all.

Dell is pretty good overall, but not the best.  For general use, you can pick Dell, HP, Toshiba, Acer ... etc.  Recently, I bought a Acer 8200 for school and for general programming stuff, and a Sony SZ-120 for business and they're both are very good computers.  As to the 6400, the 6000 has received great reviews, and 6400 is so new that not too many reviews are out yet, so why don't you wait a bit longer.  What is your major?  Most laptops last about 2 to 3 years, and a bit less on the battery.  Good luck!

I think you consider all aspects of purchasing a particular laptop. Whether or not the specifications are good or bad will be determined by what you'll be doing with it. If you're just going to be watching a couple movies and doing word processing and checking email and answering questions on Yahoo! Answers, almost any laptop will do.\n\nIf that's the case, you should consider other aspects like customer support and maintenance if you are unfamiliar with these issues. Fujitsu is a well-known reliable brand, but I'm unfamiliar with the kind of technical support that they offer. IBM's are rugged and will last you a "lifetime" so if you're one of those that individuals that doesn't take care of your possessions very careful, it might be the better choice.
