Laptops & Notebooks - January 2007

I am a college student who needs to buy a laptop. Needless to say, an impoverished student like me needs an inexpensive one! Probably under $500. I mainly just need to write papers and play some music on it. I have no idea how to go about picking a good one though, as I know nothing about memory and ram and hard drives...please help me!

I keep getting a blue screen telling me I have a system malfunction and I need to check some type of hardware... I'm not a computer wiz or anything so I have no idea what I should do. It happens every so often... maybe once a week. During no specific task either. Any suggestions?

By the way, I have a Dell Inspiron E1505 laptop.

I own a IIBM laptop, iseries type 2611 410. Comes with a 4gb drive and operating on win98. If I purchase a 30gb drive, are there any hardware issues when installing Windows XP with this laptop.

Without XP I am finding it difficult to find a wireless network card that works, not to mention finding it diffult to operate on 4GB. .

I'm not a gamer, I'm just in the market of a new laptop. I use if for work and play - Work = Designing stuff for print and keeping my website up and running, and Play = Web Surfing. Do I need to worry about a high end video card? It seems like I don't and that might make the price of a good laptop a little less. Thanks in advance.

the dell xps M1710 laptop. I thought all dell was cheap i guess i was wrong I could buy an E1705 with the same specs for $500 less and if you want a better graphics card add way more to the already excessive $2299

My name is William Leight and i need a desktop computer for home so i can do my research at home whenever i want rather than having to come downtown to the library. i also need the harddrive and printer to print out schoolwork. Does anyone know of such an organization. Even a laptop would be sufficient.

I am planning on getting a laptop. I have no clue what kind, however I know that I do not want an Apple. Anyways...I am planning to have the basics on it, internet, microsoft word, and powerpoint. I was also planning on downloading the Sims2, so that takes up a lot of memory and stuff. So I was wondering what would be the best laptop for me, that wouldn't be slow, because I can't stand slow computers. But also the laptop would be no more than 1,300 dollars. Please help! Thank you!
