Best thing to do is ask yourself what you intend to use your computer for?\n\nTheres a few things where you will need extra computing power, Games, Video Editing and number crunching\n\nNow if youre one of those people that love the finer things than go for that duo core with all the trimmings.  Or beteryet get yourself an alienware which would alow you to do pretty much anything out there.\n\nI you dont plan on playing gmaes now, but might, then get one with a decent video chipset.\nWith upgrade-ability on RAM and unlimitied on external memory, the budget minded buyer could in fact get away with something like a 700 investment from any of the big computer companies - Dell, HP, etc.\n\nIf you need that DVD-RW and that huge screen, well those extras will cost you.\nIf you need something to do work, homework on, access internet, watch movies and what not...than it all comes down to what type of shopper you are.  \nBut to cover just the basics -- minimal investment required

Well for gaming, the Inspiron will be bad, and the other one will be horrible, hence I guess the Dell would be the Best Buy.  If you are planning on doing gaming, you really should stick to desktops, or be prepared to invest a good amount of money into a laptop.

Go to a reputable computer store and ask to speak to someone who is knowledgable on laptops.\nTell them what you need the laptop to do and how much you have to spend. They will show you alternatives. Do that in 3 or 4 stores, then go on the Internet and save yourself up to 10%.\nIn other words, get the best that you can afford. All manufacturers have good and bad models. A shop assistant who deals with them everyday will know the best (and worst)

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 suggest you to go for HP...simply they are the best in Laptops for the past 10+ years....their support through out lifetime is another asset...they are technically advanced hence rated best.....if you are looking for cheaper one....then Dell could be your option.\n\nGood luck.\n:)

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!

Getting the best laptop in the market is one thing, outperforming a powerful desktop completely another. Here's the best available around $1500\nIntel Core Duo T2500 2.0 Ghz\n1GB DDR2 67 Mhz RAM\n80 GB UATA Hard Disk\n256 MB ATI Mobility Radeon X1400\nLaptops usually come with 4 or 5 USB 2.0 ports and many 18-in-1 memory card readers are available today.

laptop computers can be a rather tricky buy at times, I would suggest that you look out for the cheapest and yet latest laptop or notebook computers on the market, the best way to do this is on what they call warehouse sale markets some of them are also online.\n\nthese warehouse owners have a service where they sell desktop 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.\n\none such website is :\n\nhttp://ultimatemg.atspace.com/laptop.htm\n\n\nalternatively I also suggest that you look into the desktop computer market at the moment you can find warehouse sale desktops at a very cheap price at this site too:\n\nhttp://ultimatemg.atspace.com/computer.htm\n\n\nI hope I have been of help in answering your question.

The computer with latest available features are the best computer to buy. Because since interms technologies outdating very often, to maintain the value of your investment atleast for some length of your future go for a computer with latest processors with required availble features.

The Acer 3692 sounds like the better buy.\n395 is a great price for a laptop.\nSame spec in a Toshiba cost me 1099 euro.

Get something reliable.  Check out CNET for reviews by editors and customers.  Toshiba and Fujitsu have great reliability.  The Lenovo Thinkpad (formerly IBM Thinkpad) is nice.  Get internal wireless, big RAM size, and a decent size HDD.  Don't get a Compaq, Dell, or HP.  Also, if you are considering a Mac, look at what software you will need and if it is available for Mac.  Then look at what it will cost to fix your Mac.  Is is worth it?  Probably not, but they are nice, just not compatible with everything.  Good luck.

Mine is a Gateway laptop and it runs beautifully, 24 hours a day (extra cooling added).

Apple, Lenovo, or HP.  \n\nAlso consider Toshiba, Dell, Acer, and Gateway.  Oh yeah look at the Vaio's too!  Every brand I've mentioned so far has at least one dope model.  And just because someone has had a bad experience with a brand doesn't mean you'll have the same experience.  Keep all your options open.\n\nYou have to do some research and figure out what you're going to need in terms of size and power (and other things that I'm forgetting at the moment).  Then look at the notebooks from the brands I've mentioned, find the models that suit your needs, and compare those models until you discover which one is perfect for you.\n\nBTW I have a Fujitsu P7120D and I'm in love with it.

Well, you might get good deals on Dell.  But I wouldn't recommend a Dell to you.  All my roomies have been having problems with their Dell laptops (maybe the Made in China stuff infuses cheap electronics and bad quality).  If you want a cheap system, go for a Dell, but their quality isn't up to mark.  Secondly, they have been having hardware problems lately, especially with laptop batteries.  There was a huge notebook recall.\n\nI would recommend HP (and Compaq) or Toshiba for good performance and decent prices.  Apple is awesome for looks and build quality and battery life.  But you won't find a lot of Windows application on the Mac OS.  You can get good reviews on CNETReviews or Notebook Review (if you want to buy a laptop).

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.
