Answer 1

To get the most computer for your buck, figure out what you want to do with the laptop (Internet, e-mail, gaming, video editing, etc.), define or select (at http://www.comprec.com) the specifications (processor, hard drive, memory, etc.) you need and compare prices at different manufacturers/sellers.

Answer 3

I would strongly suggest buying a laptop from Dell. You get the newest stuff at an affordable price. They have a bunch of quality laptops for under $1550.

Answer 4

Brand is important. Check out Dell. They have high quality stuff for reasonable prices, and they build to fit what you want.

Just a note - Never never never buy a Compaq! They break constantly, and the company is a nightmare to deal with when they do! I had one that broke after 2 weeks, I sent it to them for repairs through the company I bought it from, and they lost it. It was gone for 4 months in my first semester of grad school! After that it broke 3 more times. The last time my warantee was almost up, I sent it to them, and they didn't bother to fix it. They sent it back still broken, and refused to fix it after the warantee ran out (even though I sent it to them before it was up!). Awful!

Answer 6

Toshiba Satellite is great. I'm totally happy with it and once you start working on a widescreen you'll never want to go back to the regular width! Works great with music and movies. No problems with speed or anything.

Answer 7

I would get the newest Apple laptop. Apple computers are so much better than dell and gateway because they are so much more reliable. Even though they may be more expensive, in the long run you will be better off.

HP Pavilion dv5215us Notebook
