I am looking for a new laptop, I have looked into Dell, as that is what I currently own, Apple Macbooks, and a few HPs. I have also heard of Sony Viaos and Lenovos but I do not know these brands well. Who in your opinion makes thebest laptops in terms of weight, memory, ram, features, I am a college student so of course affordability is a factor as well.

I have an old Gateway that I want to give to somebody, but it doesn't look like info is being sent to the monitor. Monitor works fine. Computer sounds and looks like it boots up okay, but no images are sent to monitor. I checked all connections and everything is okay, but it's like the monitor isn't hooked up. Any suggestions?
