Buying a Laptop

JJMitchell:
Probably would depend on what version of Vista it has.
There are only like 9 or 10.

Check it

mberan, I looked at your thread, but the issue is that your budget is a fair bit over mine, and as such, not all the suggestions are really applicable.

Anyhow, I'm looking for something with a fairly good battery life, enough that I'd be able to use it in class when need be and not have to worry about it dying on me in the middle of note taking.  A larger screen is nice, but hardly a neccesity, I am more worried about something that will run reliably and well.  Hard drive space is not a big need, as I'll be investing in an external hard drive as well, more than likely.  As far as running programs on it, the main uses will be surfing the internet, word processing, and music.  I don't plan on using it much for gaming, and if I did it would be for older games, not just released new ones.

Cool.

From what people've told me on two forums, HP make a quality product. Sony is extremely overpriced. Gateway is decent, but not great. Toshiba is excellent, but not very customizable (from what I've seen).

Just go to all the websites and punch in what you want. That helped me out the most.

My university uses HP, but I owned a Dell before, which was pretty fab (for a first computer that all I did was surf the web, and use for writing --oh, and play music). Most websites have a sort of 'build your own' option where you pick a base model and build up from there. --Also, I would suggest going to Best Buy or somewhere like that. They know what they're talking about, ususally.
