Answer 2

I had the widescreen Hp Pavilion dv5157eu. 100 gig HDD, 1 gig memory, CD/DVD rewriter, 6 in 1 card reader - remote control for watching DVD and playing music. Wireless. AMD turion 64 mobile technology - cost around £700 at Comet. I had a DVB stick so I could watch TV in bed too. Bad news is Workd 8 is rubbish after using Office - but XP home wasn't as bad as I thought - usually I use XP professional. The XP and all software was pre-installed and the HDD partitioned for backup too. I don't like that. I backed up to DVD - so have two backups. But had to put some decent software on. I suppose if there is a disaster it won't be quite so bad - if I use that backup.

Answer 3

I brought an ASUS V6M.
ASUS make PC compnents and in an attempt to get into the Laptop market, they put this laptop together with all the top compenants and a great price.
I use the built in web cam to contact friends overseas, download music and movies and most other standard PC tasks and have had no issues at all.

Answer 4

Depends on your price point, I'd agree with going with a dell if you want one that will last 2 years and cheap. If you are getting one get one with a Merom process based on Intel's core duo 2 line.

These are 64bit dual core processors with a 4mb L2 cache which is 4x that of the AMD's line. Their front side bus is at 1.3ghz for the woodcrest. All in all, these processors are 25% to similarly clocked AMDs, and they are cheap. Buy a merom laptop.

Also try to get an integated video card if you care about gaming at all.

Answer 5

NOT A MAC!!!!

They look good but that's about it; buy a Dell or a Packard Bell they are brilliant at fixing themselves when they get completely f*****.

Oh and if its your first laptop; laptop battery life is really crappy.

The only battery life which is good is a Lithium-ion 9 cell battery which comes with IBM laptops

Answer 6

I personally think Sony make the better laptops (though they are a bit more expensive) But the battery life isn't that good. Currently using a very light weight Fujitsu Seimens - and its great - just check what software you get with it.

Answer 7

I would stray from the dell laptops as I feel they are not up to par with Toshiba. Toshiba I feel is the best, but you will get many different opinions.

Answer 8

i am unsure of the make but toysrus are selling a briliant one just now. it has a 15inch screen (fit a dongle for £25 and it turns into a TV), 2 1/2 hours battery life (great for watching dvd's) in car charger. all this and more for an astound £345. excellent. we are buying one for the kids christmas. we do loads of caravaning and it will be brilliant on weekends away. hope you find one thats exactly right for you.

Answer 9

Apple Powerbook

Answer 10

You are better off getting a desktop. Trust me son, I just got out of college, and my laptop was the worst investment I ever made. I dropped 2K on a programming monster, with the though of "hey! i can take this to class!". let me tell you, you won't take it to class. better off buying a desktop and getting more bang for your buck. I wish I would have. thats a nice laptop for the money though. Resolution is a bit low, but thats okay, the screen is small.

Answer 11

i just got a new dell after 2 toshibas and its in a different class .much cheaper much better
