Hi, everyone. I am planning to purchase new laptop in the next few days or so and I thought it would be wise to hear from experts on which laptop to buy.
It will be my first laptop I will purchase as I have used desktop all my life. The laptop will be used for primarily writing reports/papers, researching/surfing online, chatting, listening to music, and watching movies. It will NOT be used for playing games.
So far after discussion with people I know, I am leaning toward Dell laptop. It is the most recognized laptop brand and a lot of people use it including my family. Someone suggested IBM laptop but I don’t know much about that one.
I know the final decision is up to me but I would appreciate any insights before I make the hefty investment. Could you recommend any good laptops that would be suitable for person like me?
Thanks in advance for any insights.

For sometime now I have been thinking of purchasing an Apple laptop. However I’m not really sure what features to look for. I saw these two laptops:

and

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=9107432&type=product&id=1218024600202

I’d like to know what the main difference between the two is, which would I get ”more bang for my buck”? And would it be better to buy this laptop from Best Buy or apple.com, or Circuit City since there going out of business and would mark things down real cheap?

If I end up purchasing it from Best Buy, I’d use my 0 Best Buy card, and pay the rest either on the credit card or my debit card.

I was searching everywhere online for a company other than apple store itself that sells used mac’s. Well I found a supposedly reputable company online that is experts at fixing laptops especially macs. They also sell them too. So after much research I decided to buy one from them for 9. I got it in September because they were running a good deal on this one and I wanted to buy it asap. I bought it for my boyfriends birthday which is in November. I turned it on when I got it..it worked fine.. I shut it down and never turned it on again. Come November…my boyfriend gets it hes so happy etc etc..now 1 week later it doesn’t work..it boots up and doesn’t even go to any screens or anything…my boyfriend didn’t do anything to it..and this company’s policy is only a 30 day return…i purchased it through Paypal and they only have a 30 day dispute period and my bank said its too late for them to do anything. The laptop has a 6 month warranty but I just want my money back. Any advice any1?

I am struggling with the purchase of a new laptop. I am inclined to buy a Mac for greater security, ease of use, customer service, etc. but I can get so much more (RAM, hard drive, features, etc.)in a PC such as Dell, Toshiba, Sony, HP, etc. If there are any MAC lovers out there, please give me more reasons to buy one of the new laptops that just came out. Thanks!!!
I guess what I am really looking for is justification for spending twice as much on a Mac as I can for a PC.

I’m looking for a used laptop because I would think used ones would sell for much less than new ones. I’ve found a few at different stores for around 0. It would be nice to find a used one though, to save some money, but I searched another site (I can’t remember its name) and their refurbished laptops were very expensive for some reason.
If anyone knows of any good sites, or evenany good deals on new laptops, I would appreciate if you let me know. I’m hoping to find something more powerful than 1.6GHz, and 50-80Gig of hardrive space.
Thanks very much

hey guys, I’m just about to buy a laptop (United States), I checked newegg.com and all laptops they sell come with Windows Vista preinstalled, do you guys know where I can buy laptops with no Windows something installed? (I want to buy cheap laptop(s)). I like websites where you can shop online like tigerdirect.com or newegg.com. Other option would be a store in San Francisco or Los Angeles.

We have a desktop with a DSL hook-up in our family room in the basement. My college student children want to be able to access the web on their laptops while in their rooms. What do I need to buy? Their laptops have wireless capabilites.

Well I’ve had a look around and these laptops seems to be very strong and they have good benchmarks, yet I don’t know if I should buy one or not becuz I’ve have some question about it and until they’re cleared, I think I wouldn’t be getting one.

1. I’m currently living in Kuwait, and becuz Dell don’t offer them here, a friend of mine will buy it for me from the US, and I’m afraid that cuz of voltage difference from place to place, it might ruin the motherboard or the power supply of the laptop

2. Is there anyway to change the power adapter to suit the power sockets here ? (the power sockets are like the ones in UK, 3 way and big and bulky)

3. I’ve heard that after two years or such with using a dell laptop, you get an error saying "AC adapter couldn’t be determined" or something similar, and the battery won’t charge anymore, and in the end your motherboard will be fried, has anyone got this problem before ?

4. Will the warranty work here ? (like if something happens to my laptop, can I go to the dell workshop here and repair it for free ?)

I came across this website selling used laptops. Please check out this link usanotebook.com Let me know your opinion, would you yourself consider buying one? If so, what is the best brand out there when even considering a used one. Or would it be a bad investment and taking a risk? I’d really appreciate a pro’s opinion.

Have a great day everyone.

I’m buying a laptop now. I’m not sure if i should go with a Mac or a standard notebooks. I like the Mac video editing features and the photobooth stuff and how it is not as prone to viruses as other laptops. I need one with a lot of memory, the standard applications like a writing application etc., and something that I can download applications easily on. But are Macs really hard to use? Are applications more geared towards PCs than Macs?
thanks in advance.

Does the store rent a center take used laptops for cash, like a trade in, otherwise how do they get their laptops?
