I just got an Apple iBook, 12-inch screen --- very light, very powerful, all for less than $1,000.

You should be able to get good deasl on pricegrabbger.com (It gets the best prices from all online stores). \n\nAnyways, I think more than deals, try looking for quality.  My personal experience says that Lenovo (IBM Thinkpads) last the longest and are the sturdiest.  They also come with a finger print secure login in most laptops.  It's worth spending an extra couple of hundred bucks -- Lasts at least 4-5 years. \n\nDell's are inferior quality, but cheap. \nToshiba's are a good compromise \nSony's suck. \nHP is getting better, but, doesn't compare with Thinkpads.

I think low-cost lappies are great.  And anyone could buy one.  The price range varies completely.  If you'd like to buy one, I highly recommend checking out this computer-tech website(s):   1. http://www.kcss.biz/  or http://www.newegg.com/

The Toshiba Satellite is a very poor choice when considering the wide spectrum of choices avalible for budget laptops.\n\nThe battery life of the L25 is only 95 minutes, according to Cnet.com, which is a very small number in today's market.  Furthermore, the battery life won't last long enough to watch a dvd movie, which is a major factor to consider if you are going to dish out 700 for a laptop.\n\nIf you are looking for a bare minimum no frill laptop, I recommend Dell, where you can equipt a cheaper laptop which has more features, especially if you wait for a special deal.

I suggest you to go for HP...simply they are the best in Laptops for the past 10+ years....their support through out lifetime is another asset...they are technically advanced hence rated best.....if you are looking for cheaper one....then Dell could be your option.\n\nGood luck.\n:)

The best quality laptop for the money is the Dell, Inspiron serious. You can get an excellent, fast laptop, with plenty of memory, for around 500 dollars. I have a Dell, and I think it is excellent. I have tried many of the top brands, and nothing else even comes close to Dell.

This is a very subjective question and I believe it directly depends on what you value in a midrange laptop.  The best and cheapest midrange laptop for you depends on if you want to play games or just use basic  email/internet/office programs.\n\nIf you want to play games, then look for a laptop that comes with an ATI 9700 mobility video card or 9800 video card.  Also get at least 512MB of RAM memory if you can.\n\nYou can look through different laptops that are available at http://www.pricewatch.com They search through lots of different companies.

wat do you mean cheap...you need to ask yourself what you will be using the lap top for and then decide if cheap is what you want!!!

The cheapest laptop is the one that has deal on it...\ncheck out fatwallet.com or dealsea.com\nfrom time to time, there are deals on laptop.\n\nDell has the most deal, and the quality is decent.\npersonally, I use IBM since it is more reliable.\nRecently, IBM has a lot of promotion too.\nThus you can have IBM for quite reasonable price.

Dell or PC World... if you do go to PC World, the advent ones are cheap and cheerful... don't let them talk you into buying anything else for it though (unless its a bag and you want one)!!

I would look into getting a part time job say at a small restaurant waiting tables or something and buying an inexpensive brand new laptop like an Acer Aspire (mine cost $750, minus a $200 mail in rebate equals $550) \n\nIf you don't mind bidding and waiting and buying used, you can look around on eBay for some older models.

For that price, you can't get the greatest laptop, but you can get a mid-range core duo from Acer -- it's nice for all purposes. for battery life, go for a tablet PC -- for a mac, go for a decked out iBook (They'll release new ones soon.)

I think Dell is the best.  Good service, good prices and top quality laptops.

DELL & HP is always a good brand to select and make sure it has microsoft on it! If you need to have a look at some reviews on various laptops go to http://www.cnet.com/\n\nalthough, Lenovo 3000 N100 (Core Duo 2GHz, 512MB RAM, 100GB HDD) is a great laptop at a middle of the range price ($1364) and delivers excellent preformance! \n\nHowever if you are looking at a more cheaper laptop then the Lenovo 3000 N100 (Core Duo 1.66GHz, 512MB RAM, 80GB HDD, DVD Writer) is what you need at a cheap price of anywhere from $800 to $1000. This laptop may be cheap but its preformance still packs a puch and would be perfect for someone just starting University or a Small Business owner!\n\nGOODLUCK WITH UNIVERSITY AND BUYING A NEW LAPTOP, I HOPE THIS INFORMATION WAS USEFUL FOR YOU :):):) AGAIN GOODLUCK!

Getting the best laptop in the market is one thing, outperforming a powerful desktop completely another. Here's the best available around $1500\nIntel Core Duo T2500 2.0 Ghz\n1GB DDR2 67 Mhz RAM\n80 GB UATA Hard Disk\n256 MB ATI Mobility Radeon X1400\nLaptops usually come with 4 or 5 USB 2.0 ports and many 18-in-1 memory card readers are available today.
