I am looking into buying a laptop and I need some suggestions on a good brand to buy and how to equip it. I mainly want to use the laptop for personal reasons such as: for music, live t.v./videos, school work, internet browsing and software usage for people going into Information Technology degree. (I guess you could say a laptop for a college student.) I would however though like the laptop to be very fast and responsive with good memory and storage. Can anyone help me out?

- do u use it for notes and stuff
- is it odd to do this?
- does anyone you know take their laptop to school?

i was thinking about buying a laptop to take notes on for high school, but i don’t want to be the only person to do it….idk just wondering thankss

I need a laptop for high school and I plan to use it until it breaks. It’s also my first time buying a laptop. I want it to be …
- light
- PC
- wireless internet
- can burn CDs
- a lot of memory
- large screen
- long battery life
- durable to bumps and scratches
- have programs (photoshop, editing video/sound, etc)
- guaranteed
- affordable

Please suggest and give reasons if possible. The laptop doesn’t have to have all of what I want, but I want most of it if possible. Thx

i am looking into buying a laptop from HP. I’m 16 years old and i use my laptop for school work and chatting with friends. I have an 80GB ipod classic and i have about 800 songs on it. if i want this many songs on my computer or more in the future, should i go with the 160GB hard drive or the 250GB?

Hello,
I have been accepted to USMA and enter in ‘08. I’m fairly certain they issue Dell laptops to each cadet, but I am thinking about buying a laptop for personal use before I go (I am not taking this one to USMA!) but if I get one now, I might as well buy one that I will have for the next few years.

Can anyone tell me the EXACT make and model of the laptops used by the cadets at West Point, and if they should be the same for the 2008/2009 school year.

Thank you very much!

I am ending my junior year in high school and have been thinking about buying a laptop for school and entertainment use for many months now, but I am not sure what would be best. I have tried looking through a lot of those computer rating websites but after looking I just want to give up. I’m not so worried about the price seeing as I will have this computer for quite a while, but I need these specifications at least:
—able to play DVD/CD (my current computer cannot anymore =[ )
---has a Web cam built in
---Can play somewhat graphics-demanding games (Especially Tomb Raider: Underworld and also the Sims 2, because my current computer cannot play this one due to its ghetto dvd/cd drive)
---and possibly a cool design on it? I love art and design and would love some on the computer.

As for screen size, price, and memory, I don't care all that much.
So If anyone has any idea on what could be a good matching computer, please let me know. Thank you so much! Hope you have a really awesome day! ^_^

(I have looked at MacBooks, which seem really cool except they are not gaming computers from what I have heard [lame!] and I also have looked into the HP Pavillion dv2800t Artist Edition, but again, I don’t know if that computer could play my games?!)

I’m going to art school (for college) this upcoming fall, and I will be buying a laptop for it. I will be using it for school work and digital painting with a Wacom tablet.

What’s the best brand + model I should look into? My budget is under 00, so no MacBooks. (And I want it new, not used.)

Thanks!

Hi. I’m going into my senior year in high school. I’m interested in buying a laptop for the rest of school and into college. I primarily want to use it for school work, watching movies and videos, surfing the internet,and storing music and pictures. My price range is 0 or less. I also want to be able to carry it around easily. Does anyone have any recommendations. Thanks

I am thinking about buying a laptop from my schools auction (site at bottom) but am concerned they maybe out of date. I won’t be doing any super heavy gaming but i do like to play some online games so it is important that it can handle this. What price should i bid and if there are any upgrades need how much would they cost.
