Get Alienware.....awesome machines....as long as you don't mind spending a little bit more for it. If money is an issue and you want something cheaper, I recommend a Dell. Don't go with Compaq or HP if you can avoid it, they are just proprietary, production machines.

First off, don't buy an ACER computer... Those are one of the lowest end models of computers. You can find a better one for around the same price.\n\nAs for the eBay part, wait to see if you get all your money back. It looks like you won't have a laptop by your birthday unless the money is wired back to you by that time. You'll just have to wait it out and see what is done over the next few days/weeks.\n\nOne more thing... Always make your purchases of something expensive, like the laptop, from a retail store. If you have problems with it within the return time-frame, you can always take it back and exchange it. Most people who sell products on eBay have an "as is warranty", meaning, if it is broken, you are S.o.L.\n\nGood luck and Happy Birthday...

the processor is REALLY slow, screen tiny, video card is junk, all you can do on it is go on the internet, music, but not at the same time....homework. the Ram is good, but i would just buy a desktop that's a lot better for a little more.\naround 600 bucks you can get a good one that can run music and the internet well, but games will be ok...

DELL & HP is always a good brand to select and make sure it has microsoft on it! If you need to have a look at some reviews on various laptops go to http://www.cnet.com/\n\nalthough, Lenovo 3000 N100 (Core Duo 2GHz, 512MB RAM, 100GB HDD) is a great laptop at a middle of the range price ($1364) and delivers excellent preformance! \n\nHowever if you are looking at a more cheaper laptop then the Lenovo 3000 N100 (Core Duo 1.66GHz, 512MB RAM, 80GB HDD, DVD Writer) is what you need at a cheap price of anywhere from $800 to $1000. This laptop may be cheap but its preformance still packs a puch and would be perfect for someone just starting University or a Small Business owner!\n\nGOODLUCK WITH UNIVERSITY AND BUYING A NEW LAPTOP, I HOPE THIS INFORMATION WAS USEFUL FOR YOU :):):) AGAIN GOODLUCK!

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!

Dell Inspiron or Toshiba lapotops are a good buy. But as someone rightly said; its a mix of your budget and computing needs.

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.

Honestly the only thing you can get for $600 from a brand name producer is a piece of crap laptop. You can custom build a decent laptop for $600 dollars but in the end it won't be worth it. You need more money. Start mooching.

If it exceeds your needs it is a waste of money.  But if you think your needs will change it is usually better to get everything at once.  Especially if we are talking about a laptop.  They are almost impossible to upgrade after the purchace.\n\nI've been buying low end machines for years now.  I can't play the newest games at full speed but the machines are so much cheaper that I can replace them more often and still be ahead of the game.  So many people following the marketers and feel they need the best at whatever cost.  If your needs are met by a slower machine they are much more cost effective.

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.
