Look.  Forget CPU speed, RAM, all that crud.  Focus on the weight of the laptop and how comfortable it is to use.  Make sure the screen looks good and doesn't hurt your eyes. \n\nMake sure it has a good wireless card so you can connect to the internet from anywhere (there are tens of thousands of unsecured wireless networks out there).  Also it should have a decent battery life (more than 2 hours) so you don't have to plug it in all the time. \n\nThen figure out how much you want to spend and get the most expensive one you can afford with all the above features.  You'll be the happiest if you get a lightweight laptop that you enjoy using, moreso than if you get a heavy one that has a lot of RAM or whatever.  Seriously.  If you get so tired dragging the thing around you'll stop wanting to use it.\n\nMost of the time you'll never even notice if it slows down loading a program.  The only way you can check the relative performance of most current laptops is with a benchmarking program -- with normal usage they're all about equal (unless you're playing graphics-intensive games on them, in which case, you need a desktop not a laptop, silly).

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.

The best advice is to go to your local PC world or Curry's\nTell then axactly what you want and be guided by them.\nOr, buy a Which computer & laptop mag:

Buy the most that you can afford.  I would make sure that the computer has at least 512mb memory, 2ghz processor, 128mb video card and 160gb harddrive.

Honestly laptops have all come a long way so I'd find the best deal on price and worry about brand second, as long as it's a recognized name

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.

no best one. with laptops all depends on ur budget. first think what u need to do with it a long time. say 3-5 years, then ur budget. because with laptops it doesnt make sense to upgrade and they are all pretty much fixed with the hardware u buy in the beginning. so get whatever u need for the next 3-5 years in the laptop now. the newer processors are more energy efficient and fster so consider that. but doesnt have to be the latest depending on what tasks u need to perform.\nget wireless now also. it'll be worth it i think. graphics ard nowadays are much better and can cater for games too if u are inclined.\nrest are generally optional. dont worry too much about dvd/cd burners, as the solid state memories, like USB stick are large enough to stick a lot in and are more mobile, than heaving cd/dvds around...\ncheck for ventilation and the location of the HDD/batteries. they may be located where your hand rests while using the keyboard. this can get hot and uncomfortable for some...

Every answer above is what 90% of the population believes. Dell, HP...etc. I have done a lot of research into this subject. You need to know about OEM and ODM companies. A great place to get information on this and all notebook questions is at notebookforums.com\n\nPeople who are "in the know" buy notebooks from companies such as Sager, Prostar, Hypersonic, Alienware and my favorites are Falcon-NW (luxury) & ASUS. ASUS makes some of the best built most stylish laptops available. Do a Google search to find online resellers. Most of the ones I listed above are not to be found in a store but rather online.  If you must have follow the pack and get an average laptop from a local electronic store then I would suggest HP. Stay away from Emachines at all costs! As well as anything from Fry's...not good to deal with them. Good luck!

I would say do some research on your own. Each laptop is different  and you should get one that best for you. My friend and I did and we loved ours. He got a Acer and I got Gateway.

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:)
