If i want to buy laptop now, can you tell me 5 best laptop from spec and price and why?

Answer 1

Some of the best students notebooks are:


IBM ThinkPad X40
(click for details)

Great student notebook with superior keyboard, sleek style and IBM quality,
light and ultra-portable. At 3.2 pounds and very professional this IBM
notebook should be on every student's list.


Panasonic ToughBook Y2
(click for details)

May be on the expensive size for some students, but the Panasonic
ToughBook Y2 is a fully packed notebook with solid performance and great
battery life at 5 hours and is really light at 3.3 pounds. Should be considered.


Toshiba - Portégé M200
(click for details)

Those students looking for a Tablet PC for convenient Note Taking should
look at the Toshiba Portégé M200. It runs quiet and cool, and is a
versatile tablet/laptop combination with an excellent keyboard design.


IBM ThinkPad T42
(click for details)

Great 'thin and light' notebook, again with the IBM quality that also
makes it a perfect choice for the busy college student. Lightweight and
portable, in a 5 pound package.

Dell Inspiron 700m
(click for details)

Dell may be the best choice for a student looking for a relatively
cheap notebook computer or laptop. Good performance at a reasonable
price. Weight at 4.2 pounds.


Refurbished or Used Laptop or Notebook Computer

Students (and parents) should not rule out a used or refurbished
laptop or notebook computer. Some great deals can be found, check
around computer shops in your area or check online places like
Amazon.com which sell relatively cheap refurbished notebooks.
refurbished laptops

There are laptops which I would say steer away from.
What I would not recommend:
- Gateway (the cow thing is not so cute anymore, design is bad, clunky laptops).
- Compaq (I don't know why, HP laptops are just better designed, even though they are the same company now)
- Averatec (they just aren't putting out the latest technology)
- Toshiba (I know they have potential to put out good stuff, they aren't, they're flooding the market with cheap crap)

For the mainstream college student or just student:

I would recommend, in order of best:

1. Apple
2. Dell
3. HP
4. Fujitsu
5. Lenovo (IBM)
6. Sony
7. Acer

Try to look for a laptop with Core Duo (Centrino Duo, Dual Core, it's all the same) technology, but don't squander money on the highest clock speed (2 Ghz performs about the same as 2.16 Ghz), no need to spend the extra $200-400.

For the graduate/professional student:

1. Apple
2. Lenovo (IBM)
3. Fujitsu
4. HP

For the business professional:

1. HP
2. Lenovo (IBM)
3. Apple
4. Fujitsu

For the IT professional:

(you can probably pick out your own laptop, but here is my list anyway)

1. Lenovo (IBM)
2. Apple
3. Fujitsu
4. HP
5. ASUS
6. Custom-made

For the designer/geek/power hungry gamer:

1. Alienware (or other boutique computer makers: Voodoo PC, Falcon NW, Overdrive)
2. Apple
3. ASUS
4. Dell XPS

For those who want an all purpose, cooking, cleaning, and just about do anything laptop:

1. Apple
2. Dell
3. HP
4. Sony
5. Fujitsu

For those who wants to wow the world with their laptop's visual style:

1. Apple
2. Sony
3. Lenovo (IBM) - chic for business at least
4. Voodoo PC
5. Acer Ferrari

For small business, people who need a running laptop desperately, and those who are on a budget:

1. Ealier or used models of IBM, Fujitsu, HP Compaq, and Dell - these last a while, you probably will get a good used one.
2. Dell.

*A note, I recommend Apple's current line of laptops, not the earlier types such as the iBooks or Powerbook. I recommend the MacBook and MacBook Pro as they are able to run both Windows and Mac OS and they are just well designed and built on solid Intel platforms.

I will not be recommending processor speeds to start because these change all the time and you'll need to determine what you're going to be doing on the machine.
Look for Core Duo, Pentium M, AMD Turion 64 X2.

Don't try to best your buddies by buying the fastest chip, it'll cost you a fortune to do so. the next fastest is usually a lot cheaper and performs just as well.

Don't settle for anything less than 512 MB of RAM. In fact, with the onset of 2007, I would say do not settle for anything less than 1GB of RAM. But 512 MB should be the bare minimum.

In addition to RAM amount, look at its speeds. (400 Mhz, 533 Mhz, 667 Mhz, etc) I dont' recommend Dell alot of times because they skimp out on RAM speeds to lower costs.

Don't settle for less than 60 GB. It is the minimum nowadays, even if you don't need all that space.

Don't worry about insane independent graphics if you are a mainstream user, you can play games on the Intel Graphics 950 with 128 MB shared. But if you have the money, don't wimp out on graphics cards either.

Look for Wireless A/B/G, but B/G should suffice as well.

Try to find a laptop with a DVD burner, sometimes referred to as a DVDRW, that is not the same as a DVD/CDRW combo, so be careful.

THE DISPLAY, ah the display:

How big the display depends on what you will use the laptop for. I, personally, find no use in a 17 in laptop, but you might.

A good display proportion for a all purpose laptop is 14.1" SXGA. If not, other good proportions are 15.4", 13.3". It's just good viewing sense.

Glossy or matte depends on your taste, glossy give more contrast, matte gives beter lighting and lower glare.

It's that simple really, just rely on the brands I have selected for 2006 and you'll be set.

Here are my choices for service, and this depends on a lot of things, for one, the person who answers your call can be an **** or an angel, it all depends, I polled my IT buddies and here's their ratings:

1. Fujitsu
2. IBM
3. Applecare
4. Alienware
5. Dell

Remember, any computer is as fast or as good as its worst components. Try to get a laptop builder that minds the little things, to make sure quality components go into your investment.

Answer 2

Look in computer shopper magazine are even look at Clevo website. I have a three year old Clevo;D27ES which is good and I know they have newer models and Will updated to the newer one when I can afford the price. You can also look at information on a consumer website for other products and compare prices and specs as well.

Answer 3

We got ours through a money to lend on payment with guarentee, DELL Windows XP, so far good several months but first service sucked, Sprint, then got ATT. Comp did cost about 900 , ATT is $ 9.95 month, but we had get dial up due to our service area. If I were you I would find someone that can help you shop around, salemen use lot tricky words.
