Asus has a better warranty then Acer, but Acer is generally cheaper. Still, I would go with Asus, reliability is a large factor in laptops as far as I'm concerned.

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.

That is what I am using right now.  I bought it about a month ago, maybe a little less.  So far I love it is very fast, the widescreen is wonderful and easy to read.  What are you going to be using it for.  If you want to use it for gaming, the video card isnt bad but it only has 64mb of shared memory so you may want to find something with a slightly better video card.  For everything else this computer is awsome.  I am very happy with it, the battery holds a charge for 4 hours and 30 minutes and I think it can actually last longer if I lower the brightness on the screen.  If you buy it from bestbuy or circuit city dont bother with the customization to your laptop they make it sound like it is essential to make your computer run well but it is a waste of money.  Also I would avoid their service plans they are also a ripoff, the manufacterer warrenty for one year is included and that should be sufficient, since the best buy service plan actually doesnt cover much of anything.  Anyways happy computer shopping

depends on your needs.  If you are looking for a light weight excellent battery life laptop I would go with the Intel® Pentium® M 780 2.26GHz 2MB L2 Cache 533MHz FSB .\n\nIf you are looking for a BIG HEAVY incredible performance rotten battery life laptop go with High GHz Pentium 4 HT processors or AMD® Athlon™ 64 with HyperTransport.

If your primary activity will be internet browsing you don't need to buy a $1300 laptop of any brand. I agree you only need to make sure it has good connectivity options. After that, just think about the size want and you'll be good to go. The best deals right now are in 14" and 15". I would recommend a sub-$1000 H-P/Compaq or Dell. Acer will work as well, although their service isn't as responsive as H-P and Dell.

looks ok it will rin great for a while but gateways have a tend of not lasting for a while, they tend to be good laptops and desktops for a bout a year or two maybe three, but after that they begin to freeze up easily and then there is no more hope for you. i suggest an hp the best dell next then mac and the acer and then toshiba. windows vista is the new version of windows coming out in the summer of 2007, it is going to be brand new but will require a lot of computer power to run it. windows vista capable means that when the new version of windows comes out you will be able to tun it on your computer, my suggestion: do not go with gateway yes they are affordable but do not last!!! hope i helped you.

I would not buy any Acer computer product!!  They have very bad reliability and service ratings.  Acers also use cheap parts and are built poorly. Even if you have to spend a few more bucks, check out lap tops from sager, dell, or other name brand manufacturers.  Dell also sells refurbished laptops at a discount and would be a much better choice than any Acer product.  You might also find a great deal on a used lap top by checking out EBay.  There are tons of them on there and some go for a very low price.  Just make sure you have a guarantee and you buy from a seller with a very good feedback rating!

Now days laptops are more or less then same. What seperates laptop makers are their warranties. You want a laptop that comes with the most warranty that you don't have to pay extra for. IBM, Dell, and Compaq/HP all have laptops that have 3 year warranties. Go with the most warranty and save yourself extra expense in the future.\n\n\nGarin Vartanian\nLaptopOutlet - Laptops for the Road Warrior on a Budget\n6925 Saint Estaban Street\nTujunga, CA  91042\n877-227-1196 Toll Free\n818-352-0342 International\n818.951.0267 FAX\nsales@laptopoutlet.com\nwww.LaptopOutlet.com

You should be able to get good deasl on pricegrabbger.com (It gets the best prices from all online stores). \n\nAnyways, I think more than deals, try looking for quality.  My personal experience says that Lenovo (IBM Thinkpads) last the longest and are the sturdiest.  They also come with a finger print secure login in most laptops.  It's worth spending an extra couple of hundred bucks -- Lasts at least 4-5 years. \n\nDell's are inferior quality, but cheap. \nToshiba's are a good compromise \nSony's suck. \nHP is getting better, but, doesn't compare with Thinkpads.

I have an Acer laptop, and i like it.... Intel or Amd are both good processors, I have an AMD,but I highly reccomend that you do NOT get a celeron processor, they work good for a couple months, then they are the slowest dang things.

Take a look at economic range of laptops from ACER, they are cheap and reliable

I use a Dell laptop for work. Overall it has been good and I like it, but I have already had the motherboard replaced and the keyboard after having it for 18 months. At time of purchase it was about $2,500+ in cost.\n\nI have had very good experience and found good value in the Acer Aspire laptop line. Acer is a Taiwanese company that has been in the computer business for many years.\n\nSee my previous post at http://answers.yahoo.com/question/;_ylt=AmvxOLm5dm2wazn3tkrM0ZgjzKIX?qid=1006041212179 for more details. That answer was rated as a best answer so I hope it is helpful to you too.\n\nGood luck!

The Toshiba Satellite is a very poor choice when considering the wide spectrum of choices avalible for budget laptops.\n\nThe battery life of the L25 is only 95 minutes, according to Cnet.com, which is a very small number in today's market.  Furthermore, the battery life won't last long enough to watch a dvd movie, which is a major factor to consider if you are going to dish out 700 for a laptop.\n\nIf you are looking for a bare minimum no frill laptop, I recommend Dell, where you can equipt a cheaper laptop which has more features, especially if you wait for a special deal.

I bought an Acer 5 months ago ,and the only problem I've had with it was that its program to connect to wireless Secure sites(ones that require a code) was very problematic.I simply disabled the acer program so that the microsoft program accesses the wireless internet routers (if you know the code).This works fine it is an excellent laptop so far ,also I bought the Acer because it was a lot cheaper with the same features as the others.

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.
