I want to buy myself a laptop because I don’t like having my computer in my room and I want to be able to move around as I use it a lot.
Anyway, I plan on using this to check my email, facebook and instant message. I will also probably use it to type documents and listen to music. I would like something that has a CD disk drive and I want to be able to have enough memory to install programs that I may need.
I want it to be easily compatible with the internet, and would prefer that has Windows Vista.
I also want it to be thin, but have a large screen (what size is considered large, medium or small?), I want it to be very easy to carry around.
I want to spend no more than 700 or 800 dollars.
What is a good brand? How much memory should it have? What are some questions I should be asking myself before I buy and do you suggest any laptops?

what is a good laptop that is good quality?
-Not too expensive
- has to come in shiny white
- thin
-light weight.
the most important thing it has to have is that it functions well and is WHITE…
if it has a webcam built in that would be GREAT!
just for an everyday at home use…

Is a notebook with AMD Athlon Neo X2 L335 good for programming?
I need an ultra-lightweight notebook the weighs less than 1.5 kg (around 3.3 lbs). I will use it for running software for programming, such as Visual Studio, SQL Server, Oracle, etc. What I have in mind is MSI Wind U230 with AMD Athlon Neo X2 L335 (1.6 GHz, 512 MB cache, 2 cores). I know this processor is not a performer, but for my need, is buying a notebook with this processor a big mistake?

I am looking for a laptop mostly used for school and email, editing pictures and I also will be downloading music on it (which i know puts me at risk for some viruses). So I’d buy the norton anti-virus for the next years(is this sufficient enough for my protection). I plan on having it for 4-5 years at least!, I plan on getting the best buy Black-tie warranty for another $180. It is on sale for $399 at best buy. Please tell me any suggestions or pointers you have! or other reccomendations. I’ve never thought as gateway as being a good brand, so i am really unsure, but i also don’t know a whole lot about computers. Is the 4gb of ram worth the extra money? or is 3gb plenty of room for me, and my computer still not be slow?
Thank you =]
Are Acer laptops any good?
Don’t bother recommending me any other brands.
Specifically I am speaking of this one… http://www.officemax.com/catalog/sku.jsp?productId=prod2850395
It has pretty decent specs for that price. Only thing is I don’t really know much about the reliability of Acers. I’ve looked at it in person for a bit and the only complaint I had was that they keys were the thin, plastic kind.
Any good light laptops out there?
I am looking for a laptop that is less than 5 pound. It could
be 11″ or so or could be much smaller like one of
the sony model. I also need it to have a slot for the new
smaller express air card from Version. Is there anything
good out there now or coming out?
Are these specs good for a netbook if i want to play facebook games on it?

Are the Intel ULV processors any good?
I’m looking for a $500 to $600 laptop now and it’s been suggested to me that I get one with a Core i3 processor, one of the newest releases from Intel. I guess getting the latest is always the smart buy when it comes to gadgets, but I’ve also been seeing a lot of new laptops with these Intel Ultra Low Voltage processors. They promise looong battery life, which I don’t think I need anyway, but these are the processors on all the slim, ultralight laptops, a feature that all my traveling calls for.
So my question is, are these Intel ULV processors any good? I don’t know if I should be concerned about the 1.3 GHz speed, considering that the latest laptops now are 2 GHz or higher. Also, the same amount of money can buy me a laptop with an Intel Core i3 processor OR an ultralight laptop with the Intel 1.3 GHz Ultra Low Voltage processor.
Basically, I don’t know if it’s worth sacrificing the processor for portability and vice versa. I use a laptop for web surfing, word processing, watching movies, listening to music, some photoshop work, and some video editing.
Are there any good laptop under $500.00?
I need something with more then 2 gigs of ram, is lightweight, and has 12 – 14″ screen that is wide screen format and high resolution. 6lbs or under is what I am looking at. Not really looking at getting a netbook or a thin and light though .. just a regular laptop for school use. I do btw, need something with a very lightweight power supply, that is extremely important!!
