Looking to buy a laptop that will be used primarily for:

1. School work

2. Photo and music uploads and downloads

3. Burning/Creating Music and Movies

I do play games on the computer but not a daily thing.

Looking for something that obviously has a lot of memory, clarity, efficient, light weight.

I have a Dell PC now (about 5-6 years old) that I want to keep and use in conjuction with the laptop. Would like a MAC but not sure about its compatibility with my PC

Looking for suggestions - I do not have thousands of dollars to spend - possibly looking into refurbished laptops? Thanks in advance

An IQ test presumably measures inherent intelligence, and the SAT was originally intended to do just that. An IQ test would eliminate unfair advantages gained from students who can afford expensive test prep. as well as those trained to do well on the test for years versus those who are too poor or too disadvantaged.

Opinions?
I am fromt he U.S. and my question was not on whether I should send my IQ test scores to my colleges as well but more an opinion on whether an IQ test should be given over an SAT test from college admission XD. Moreover, some IQ tests test spatial intelligence (your interpretation of shapes etc.) and artistic intelligence as well. Also, athletic minds are judged already in admission when couches of top universities (or scoutss) sit in on some games of high school athletes as well as judging their athletic records.
bah some grammer errors* mmmm.

The laptop I want is for home use, for games, school work and lots of videos.

I was going to buy a new computer but i don’t know what to buy Laptop or desktop. I use a computer for school, sometimes games, videos, browse the web, other things to. i want something that is fast, and doesn’t take a long time to load because i have high speed internet. But a laptop is small and dose not take up alot of room. But desktops screens r bigger and nicer. For laptops u have to buy a wireless router,and wireless printer. Not for desktop….i have previously owned a desktop and hav a printer ,So, what to buy???

I have an Acer Aspire 4730z and it won’t run games for anything. I use a website to test my specifications for certain games and EVERYTIME everything is GTG except for my video card. Very annoying… How can I get a new card for my system?

I wanted to buy a laptop to use for school and fun. My main concern is with SPEED. I don’t want to wait 3 hours for it to load while I’m using the internet. I’ll be using it to do home works on word, power point, surf the web, and hopefully being able to WRITE PROGRAMS using C++. Programming is my hobbie, so that’s why I said hopefully. Later (maybe in a year or so) depending on how long it lasts I may use it to analyze 3 dimensional structures of organic molecules (school related). So I hope now you all understand when I say I’m very concerned with speed.

My idea was to buy a laptop used for gaming since those are the fastest (from what i’ve heard), but I don’t know if those can be used for the things I intend to use it or not.

Any ideas, suggestions, are all welcome. One last detail: I prefer to stay within 00, but if you think is absolutely necessary I can go up to $ 2000 but no more.

Thanks all in advance!
I think there’s a little bit of a misunderstanding. I DON’T want to use my laptop to play games. Probably NEVER for that purpose. I was just thinking of buying one used for gaming since from what I hear they’re the fastest. And 1 more thing if you can please be specific telling me the name, and what you think I should buy not just refering me to a site telling me to look there. Ok thanks again, I hope I didn’t sound harsh.

I want to buy a laptop so that we can use it on the dining room table, or in our rooms. I keep looking and can’t find one that looks like it’s worth buying unless it’s over ,000. I guess I don’t know what I need, and what I don’t need. I want it to be fast enough to surf the web…and for the kids to do school work on, other than that, just what ever games they play online, and to print pictures. What would y’all suggest? I want to spend between 0 and 0 tops! OH- and we have a cable modem now, do we have to cancel that and go with a dsl? I’m confused.
Thanks!

I am a university econoimcs student and I am looking for a budget affordable laptop anywhere beteen 600-1500 dollars. I want a fast PC that I can use at home to listen to music, maybe play games, dvds, the basic stuff for a computer. I don’t want a piece of crap computer, I want a good computer, but not necessarily a desktop replacement, obviously for my price range. What are your opinions… is a macbook worth it @ 1500? with 2.4 ghz only 250 gb and 2gb of memory 128mb video card

or should i go with more of a dell or something with 2.0ghx, 4gb ram, 250 gb memory, 256 mb video card..

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?!)

If you have a Dish Sat reciever please look at channels 562 and above. Tell me if the only words you see are NBA League Pass or do you see some team names? The season starts tommow night and my guide does not show any games. Before you ask…yes…I have updated my guide. It shows everthing else for the next week….just no games.
I HAVE TO SEE MY TEAM PLAY!!!!!
Dish customer support has not a clue.

Thanks!

so im planning on buying my first laptop, but im having trouble on deciding which one to get.

Im gonna use the laptop for school use and for personal use such as photography-picture editing/internet/email..bla bla bla..no games though..
im thinking about gettin a macbook cause i heard its very useful for everything, but ive been a pc guy all my life, i know everything about xp and windows…so my question is

-is there a laptop in windows/vista that is almost similar to the macbooks??
-also are macbooks easy to get use to..or is it complicated?…

THANKS!!!

I am getting one of those notepad laptops for Christmas, and I was wondering if any one had any good ideas for which one to get. I would prefer a small laptop, not too fussed about if it can play games, but is able to get different software on such as adobe and word processor, things I can use for my school work. Internet access if also a must. Thankyou.

I am looking to buy a new laptop after my old one fried and i need to know what the best ones are for gaming first and foremost.

I’m looking to buy a new laptop. I have a laptop, but it is old and used and does not run well.

I’m planning on using this laptop for school writing assignments and taking notes in class, so I will need one that has a long battery life as well as one that is relatively light and portable.

I will also be using it for recreational purposes, such as e-mail, IM, games, etc. so I would need it to be able to handle downloads, photos, CDs, DVDs, and itunes easily.

Unfortunately I am also on a budget so I’m looking for the best possible price. I know absolutely nothing about computers/laptops/operating systems and everything like that.

And if it’s possible I’d like suggestions that will help me decide how to set it up once I buy the laptop.

I’d also prefer to buy a newer laptop, but I will deal with whatever suggestions are given because I trust my knowledge of computers, well, not at all.
