Need help choosing a laptop
 

for school, occasional gaming, and for my mom to use when her work sends her out of state.

I had one but I returned it after like the first week. now its time that i need one anyways...

i do not lack computer knowledge, but personal advice and comments are accepted.

macbook or macbook pro and install windows on it.. best of both worlds

mac is pretty expensive. just go for a dell

X2 on mac...jus got a late 2008 macbook pro and that **** is niice..dont think ill go back to PC ever.... if ur on a budget, pick up one of the refurbs from the apple store. from what i hear, they make um so that theyre practically new... up to you though, dell and lenovo is really decent too

I just went through the whole notebook search. I initially bought a lenovo... supposed to be like an IBM... whatever, the thing was a peice of junk. Definetly dont buy a Lenovo. I recieved my first one, and it stopped working completely within a week. I asked for a refund then, but they denied it and replaced the computer (with a completely different model, didnt tell me that, it just showed up). The replacement (a Y510) worked a bit longer, but froze often and was all around slow. My mom and I had to get pretty demanding for them to finally issue us a refund. I would not recommend lenovo under any circumstances. I looked into Dell's, Acers, Toshiba, and HP. I settled on the HP nc6400 and I like it a lot. If not this, I would have gone for a Toshiba satellite.

My first choice was a mac, but my budget was a strict $800 max.

besides the tacky gold color, this is a steal 4 gb memory, 250 gb hard drive, core 2 duo processor, Ge force 9300 graphics card with a lot of dedicated memory, not to mention a hdmi and e-sata connections

i think this is a amazing deal for an asus

I just got this one when it was on sale for 899 http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage....=1218012194815

BluRay, 4GB ram, 512MB graphics card and HDMI to throw it on a HD TV. I've had it for a few weeks now and I love it.

and its on sale
