Probably HP or Dell, but too many variables like screen size and usage. Check my source link they review all the models and will give you free expert advice on their forum.

Any of the Tier 1 computer sellers such as Dell and HP will give you decent solutions for a good price. If you would like to try an alternative, check out ASUS. ASUS is an original design manufacturer, they probably make a large portion of the laptops you see coming from major brandnames. The machines are top notch and the support is the best in the industry.
For a mid-range laptop, I would recommend the F3T or the A8JS. Prices range from 1349-1649. Check out my site at

There are also sub-$1000 notebooks that may suit your purpose if all you plan to do is homework, email, and internet.
You can buy these at my eBay store at http://stores.ebay.com/northbridgemachines or through my website.

This is a tough question and it depends on what you want and what your needs are. Just going with a particular vendor isn't always enough. I have worked on laptops from hp, gateway, dell and toshiba and with every brand they have needed repairs. I will say that of them the dell business division is the best. Their home division is terrible with support. If you went with HP, I would advise going with a pavilion, not a compaq. If you decided to go with dell try to go through the business division and get an xps, otherwise the laptop will be heavy. I too am a student and decided on an hp pavilion dv6000. This particular laptop has been good to me for the past year and has a good not cheap feel to it. I got it decently loaded with an AMD Turion 64 processor, a gig of ram, and a good graphics card, xp pro, for under a grand.

Get a HP or gateway only Toshiba's make the parts for most all of them though. Gateway has the best support (lifetime) and Hp just makes good stuff.

I would highly recommend a Toshiba laptop, specifically a Toshiba Satellite M65-S9092.

Toshiba's are really good! But if you get something else Do not and I repeat do NOT get an HP or A Compact b/c I work on computers and they mess up and break alot! They're cheap but you get what you pay for.

I would go with an hp, Toshiba or a gateway, they are all great computers. I would however stay far away from the dell computers.
