dell makes good, stable computers for their prices.  especially if your only using it for music/typing papers you dont need a huge amount of processing power.  i would go with a dell..theyre a good computer for a low budget

You don't need to spend much to browse the web and check e-mail.  A refurbished laptop for $300 or less will do the job.  Browsing the web only requires Win 98 and 64MB RAM, but I recommend at least 128MB RAM.  E-mail requires almost nothing in the way of computing power.  Type "used laptops" or "refurbished laptops" into Google and check out the top two or three companies that you find.

best bet at a price of under £650 is the Dell Inspiron 6400\nhttp://www1.euro.dell.com/content/products/features.aspx/inspn_6400?c=uk&cs=ukdhs1&l=en&s=dhs

actually if you want to save money you WONT go cheap, bc the cheaper you buy the more problems youll have and repair costs in the future. So go for a medium priced laptop with a good protection plan.

The Apple MacBook could be the laptop your'e looking for. It may seem more expensive at first but it will last far longer for you as well as the lack of viruses, spyware, adware, trojans, etc. It also comes with a lot more applications and software than most windows-run laptops. I believe they're going to incorporate bootcamp soon so if you visit an apple store or something they can help you out with that as well. You can also get a 100 dollar student discount on the laptop through apple. The website below has all the specifications. any questions feel free to email me. I use both often and have a much easier time with the Macs as far as not having to do any maitenance for it.\n\nOh and it also comes with an application called Dashboard that Windows lacks. It's a program that has widgets and just a ton of  awesome stuff in general.

Get either an HP, Toshiba, Sony, Apple, or  Dell Computer. All other brands are useless.\n\nHere's  5 computers from those brands that you should look at:\n\nDell XPS M1710 if you need a multimedia computer, $3459.00 only. \n\nToshiba Sattelite A110 if you need a cheap computer, $549.00 only. (I think)\n\nHP Pavillion dv9000t series for gaming, $899.99 only.\n\nApple Macbok pro if you need lots of memory, $2,499 only.\n\nSony Vaio VGN-TX670P if you need an ultraportable laptop, $1,600 only.

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.

Depends on what you call economical!!!\nyou can try the HP nx 6325, this notebook is a wonderful piece!! and it has a DVCD+/- RW Writer and a dual core processor!! ie the blazing fast AMD Turion 64 X2, and 512 MB of DDR2 533 MHz RAM which you can ( or possibly SHOULD) upgrade to 1 GB of DDR2 800 MHz RAM!!

the HP Pavilion dv6000t is a pretty good laptop and starts at $580. you can customize it yourself with a few free upgrades atm.\nhttp://www.shopping.hp.com/webapp/shopping/computer_can_series.do?storeName=computer_store&category=notebooks&a1=Usage&v1=Entertainment+Notebooks&series_name=dv6000t_series

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 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.
