Greetings:  It depends what you are looking for, for example, do you need CDR/DVD, built-in wireless, do you want light weight - or doesn't matter - all these things you have to think before you purchase - overall I will say - no one can bit DELL's aggresive marketing and price.  There is on for $649 dollars + I believe $99 dollars upgrade for CDR/DVD.  Check out in their website.  But watch out for the shipping charges.  You might want to think a great somewhat used laptop from some pc store.  Let me know if you need any info regarding that.  Good Luck

choose any modern laptop with a good amount of RAM, I suggest no less than 1GB.

Go with a dell or hp with at least 512 megs of ram and built-in wireless. Both of them make great computers and you should be able to get them for around 600 bucks. But make sure it has 512 megs of ram or more.

Right now there is a great deal on a laptop that is good for basic home use. It is an HP and you can get it for $299.99 after a hundred dollar mail in rebate. There are some restrictions but I will definitely be getting one... It is such a steal! Check out all the details at the links below...\n\nhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/17/circu...\nhttp://techdirt.com/articles/20061115/16...\nhttp://news.com.com/notebooks+dropping+t...\nhttp://bfads.net/pop/3772\n\nOh ya you can actually get the notebook for $99.99 but you have to jump through a lot of hoops and it will probably will end up costing you more in the end...\n\nGood Luck!

Gateway.com has some great options.  I`ve had mine for about 5 mo. now with no trouble at all.  It's great for taking notes and photo editing. I forget what other brands I looked at but at the time gateway had the fastest processor and biggest screen available for a reasonable price.

I would look at this Acer which features a Sempron 3000+ processor, 512MB of memory, a 60GB hard drive and even has a 15.4" widescreen display for only $649 (after a $150 rebate), http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/Acer-Aspire-Notebook-PC-AS3009WLCi-/sem/rpsm/oid/139311/catOid/-12963/rpem/ccd/productDetail.do and this thing will smoke any of the cheapo offerings from Walmart.  And right now Circuit City is offering free shipping.

dell makes good, stable computers for their prices.  especially if your only using it for music/typing papers you dont need a huge amount of processing power.  i would go with a dell..theyre a good computer for a low budget

I would suggest that you either go for a Dell, HP, or a Toshiba.  Sony Vaio are pretty expensive and the most over-rated laptops.  IBM Thinkpads and Apple iBooks are good on performance, but far too expensive.\n\nI have a Toshiba and I have worked for HP, so I would definitely recommend these.  Toshiba laptops are pretty rugged, quiet, have beautiful screens (among the very best), have terrific multimedia qualities like good speakers, multimedia buttons for playing DVDs without booting the computer, a host of media ports like SD, XD, MMC, Compact Flash (for transferring photos from your digital camera), etc., decent sized keyboards, 100 GB hard drives for storing your data, wireless network adapters, etc.  I haven't had issues with them and the customer support is fantastic!\n\nI would recommedn the Toshiba Satellite series and the HP DV series.\n\nDell lately has been having a lot of problems with their batteries and have been recalling many defective laptops.  My roomies have had problems with brand new Dells too.\n\nFor better reviews and customer ratings visit this website.  It will be a good guide.

Depends on what kind you want, what you want with it for memory, monitor, laptop or desktop...etc\n\n\n$500 to the 1,000's

I configured a Dell laptop with ALL the trimmings for over $10,000.\n\nIt had the fastest dual core processor, 4gigs ram, 120gig 7200rpm hard drive, 17" screen, the WORKS!!

It depends on what you are looking for but I would get one with at least 512MB of memory.  In that category there is the Acer Aspire with an AMD Sempron 3000+ processor, 512MB of memory, 60GB hard drive, a 15.4" WXGA display (1280 x 800 resolution), a CD-RW/DVD-Rom drive, you aren't going to find a DVD burner in this price range and of course, 802.11b/g wireless for $700 (after a $100 rebate).\n\nThat would be my pick but if you think you can get by with 256MB of memory then you can go as cheap as $549 but I don't like that laptop because it has a 15.0" display.  The next one up has a 15.4" display but still only has 256MB of memory.  The first link will take you to the Acer and the second one will take you to the whole list.  My preference is the Acer but that's just me.\n\nI wouldn't buy a laptop from Dell, I'm not very fond of them.  I like Acer, HP and Toshiba.

dell or acer. both under $1000. you then can upgrade you HDD and RAM at a later date if needed

Not bad, but here's what I'd look for:\n\n- Processor: Intel Centrino or AMD Turion 64. Sempron or Celeron are just too limited.\n\n- RAM 512MB is OK, but I'd go at least 1GB if possible.\n\n- I'd also consider some of the better-known brands like HP or Dell or Lenovo (IBM) Also, if you'd consider refurbished models, ecost.com has some good deals...

Notebooks are nice, but they are much harder to work on and upgrade.  Since you might be doing graphics work, you will need a decent video card.  In a notebook, that usually means an upper end computer, which it doesn't sound like you need.\n\nI would reccommend a cheap computer such as the Acer Power 380, and buy a new video card with at least 128 MB of memory.  That should get you up and running and in pretty good shape.
