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.

This depends on what you plan on doing with the computer, and what your budget is.\n\nMacBooks are great- they are powerful, have a solid OS, and are stylish.  However, they are also pricey and Macs have a reputation for not being the best gaming computers.\n\nThere are too many Windows laptops manufacturers to detail- since most people use their laptops for the same general purposes (internet, gaming, home office, school) it really depends upon your preference for a particular brand and if you have any specialized needs.

The laptop you're looking for would be extremely basic and wouldn't require much horsepower at all. \nProbably specs like the following:\n\nCPU: Pentium 4 (Celeron)(M) 2.4 Ghz/ AMD Athlon (Sempron)(Turion) 2.4 Ghz\n\nMemory: 512 Mb- 1 Gigabyte\n\nHardrive: 40 Gigs - 60 Gigs Max\n\nMost likely a wireless network card\n\nCheck out www.dell.com for some pretty good deals for what you're looking for.\nEmail me for a more detailed response.

neither - you should buy a dell!  i had an HP laptop and then bought a dell to replace it - its just better bang for your money!\n\nspecifically you should get an inspiron 6000\n\nEDIT::\n\ni just configured an inspiron 6000 with a 100gb hard disk and a DVD-RW/DL burner for $714.00 before tax and shipping (free for a little while)  Also this system has a dedicated graphics card unlike the 2 systems you are looking at

Here, this is probably what you are looking for. Try the B120 or B130, they are your best bet, very basic laptops.

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)!!

buy any hp dual processor laptop you can get good one for 1000 dollars. i would recommend buying it from circuit city/compusa. they will have good sale on thanksgiving. hp laptops have this cool feature called quick play, you can watch movies, enjoy music on your laptop without loading windows and they have a remote control so they are just like DVD players

i would say it depends simply on your budget. i would suggest to look at the following notebooks (order is from cheapest to most expensive)\n- Dell Inspiron B130\n- Apple MacBook\n- Dell Inspiron E1505 (with the graphics card ATI X1400 it's also possible to play games)\n- Apple MacBook Pro

First of all, you need to to know what are the functions you want in a laptop. In other words, you must know what will you be doing with your laptop. \n\nOf course, if your budget is not a major problem I'm sure the salesperson can help you in choosing the right one for your needs. The first laptop I bought doesn't have the function to burn music into the disc so I have to buy an external CD burner. \n\nSo, you should shop around, read about different kinds of laptop and its functions or ask for opinion from friends who are well-versed in computer.

It depends on what you are looking for but I would get one with at least 512MB of memory.  In that category there is the Acer Aspire with an AMD Sempron 3000+ processor, 512MB of memory, 60GB hard drive, a 15.4" WXGA display (1280 x 800 resolution), a CD-RW/DVD-Rom drive, you aren't going to find a DVD burner in this price range and of course, 802.11b/g wireless for $700 (after a $100 rebate).\n\nThat would be my pick but if you think you can get by with 256MB of memory then you can go as cheap as $549 but I don't like that laptop because it has a 15.0" display.  The next one up has a 15.4" display but still only has 256MB of memory.  The first link will take you to the Acer and the second one will take you to the whole list.  My preference is the Acer but that's just me.\n\nI wouldn't buy a laptop from Dell, I'm not very fond of them.  I like Acer, HP and Toshiba.

choose any modern laptop with a good amount of RAM, I suggest no less than 1GB.

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!

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

The path is as follow:\nhttp://exactchoice.cnet.com/Type.aspx\nFor quick reference, 512MB RAM, 60GB HDD and Windows XP SP2 should be fine for Home use.  Can buy any Acer, Dell, HP laptop.  They will be cheap and durable.
