Hey guys, I'm currently a 16 year old High School Jr. and I need a laptop for all this hectic work the teachers are throwing at me. I work at Pac-Sun so I have some form of money coming in to pay for a good amount of my stuff. Anyways, yeah, which one should I get and how do they stack up ? I'm willing to spend a good $700 maybe a little more if necessary.
My basic functions are basically gonna be Music (itunes), Movies, Adobe Photoshop CS2, Microsoft Word, and internet browsing.
The things I'm looking for are Wireless Internet and and SD Card Reader. And if not standard nowadays, a DVD drive.
I always see this AMD Turion 64, Intel Celeron M, Core 2 Duo and I have no clue what the hell they mean. Which is best ?
How much RAM would I need? Would 512 be OK? Should I go for the 1Gb?
You don't have to recommend me a specific laptop but if you did, that would be nice. I just need these questions answered.
And whats your opinion on Dells ? THANX
No retarded answers plz

Hi, I will list some specifications that can fit your needs, you don't have to pay much for that:
Centrion
CPU: Intel Mobile 1.7GHz or greater (1.7 is quite enough)
RAM: 512MB/667MHz
Hard Disk: 80GB/7200RPM
LAN
WAN a/b/g
Card Reader
if you are a game player, then take care for the VGA memory. 256MB ATI is quite good, if you don't play games this will not be important (Built in VGA is good for that)
I recommend DVD RW .. but you should check what the DVD type
I don't think you need bluetooth, it adds much to price, and you can buy a USB module that works the same thing.
I hope you will find this information useful.

We have 3 dells in our family, 2 laptops and 1 PC. They have always worked well for us.

DELL, the Service and Support completes the package and they are worth it!
The true cost of ownership is: Acquisition or Purchase Price + Maintenance.

Dozens of my customers have Dell. They keep me in work. I own a computer repair service. I wouldn't have a Dell under any condition.
Consider HP, Toshiba or Sony, they are all better computers than Dell.
