I just bought a laptop from http://www.ebay.com, but the only problem there is, you never know exactly what you are getting. If you use EBay and trust me and know what you are doing then that is a great place to go. \n\nhttp://www.dell.com\nhttp://www.hewlettpackard.com\nhttp://www.gateway.com

I agree that you won't find anything that can game for under $1000, let alone game well.  If you are playing older games you can probably get away with it, but anything new and you'll be forced to play on low settings with a very bad resolution, if you can even get the game to play at all.\n\nThese are the bare minimum graphics cards you should look for to be able to game on ok settings, you won't be able to max everything out, but everything will play well. In order of performance, lowest to highest.\nNvidia GeForce Go6400\nATI Mobility Radeon X600\nNvidia GeForce Go7400\nATI Mobility Radeon X1400 \nIf you want better performance, where you can turn the settings on high, listed lowest to highest\nNvidia GeForce Go6600\nATI Mobility Radeon X700\nNvidia GeForce Go7600\nATI Mobility Radeon X1600\nNvidia GeForce Go7700\nNvidia GeForce Go7600GT \n\nand now for the best of the best, monsters, you won't find these in anything that is close to mobile though.  These are only in desktop replacement notebooks that need constant power because they are so power hungry.\nIn order lowest to highest\nNvidia GeForce Go7800\nATI Mobility Radeon X1800\nNvidia GeForce Go7900GS\nNvidia GeForce Go7800GTX\nATI Mobility Radeon X1800XT\nNvidia GeForce Go7900GTX\nNvidia GeForce Go7950GTX \nThe next gen of mobile graphic is just around the corner though,  with the latest direct X 10, and support for everything in vista.  You'll just have to wait a few months for these.\nA better budget for a mobile gaming system is more around $1500 on the very low end.  It's very much worth it to save up, instead of dropping a grand on something that doesn't do what you want it to.

Go to their website, http://www.dell.com, and\nlook under laptops.  They have their entry\nlevel laptop for $449.  \n\nIf you wait for a special (ie. just before school\ngraduation time or Christmas), you could quite\npossibly get a nicer one for the same price.

You aren't an economics major, are you?  People don't give away $375 worth of software (what is costs those of us who are no longer in school) on laptops they're selling for $500.\n\nBTW, laptops are so expensive, people usually don't sell them until they are broken, or sorely outdated.  I'd look around in the sale papers on Sundays until you find one that's got at least a 1.5ghz Celeron M or faster processor.  You probably should go to/call your college bookstore, they may very well have a good deal or two.\n\nAlso, you'll want to add a 512MB So-DIMM (notebook memory) to whatever you buy, because 256MB is just enough to boot into Windows these days.  Newegg has them at really good prices: http://www.newegg.com/ProductSort/SubCategory.asp?SubCategory=381  Just make sure that the laptop you pick out has all of the features you are looking for, because it's not possible to add anything other than memory to a laptop.

You may find that the best price you will get will be from a company that sell Clone Laptops(Clones are a laptop made by an unknown company in the Far East and are just name badged from the company you buy them from.) They can often be very high specs at a very cheap price if you go for one of these be sure to get an extended warranty because if anything major goes wrong with them outside the warranty period you are unlikely to be able to find spares for them.\nThe best advice I can give you is to look for a laptop from one of the major suppliers Toshiba, Dell, HP/Compaq, IBM/Lenovo Spares for these Manufacturers or generally available many years after the models are no longer produced\nand are very available on places like eBay \nIts the same story of everything you get what you pay for\nGood Luck

There are some laptops that come in under $600 but they have very low system resources and won't be very good at music and especially video.\n\nYou need more system resources then that really offers.

I don't think you can find all that for under $1500.  Either add more to your budget or remove some of your criteria to bring it under $1500.

Buy it from newegg.com or pricewatch.com\n\nMake sure you get the right speed.

The best Laptop is the one which meets your demand and you like most!\nFor example: HP laptops are elegant, but had some glitches from time to time, but if that doesnt bother you, they are good.\nIn general: you should set your needs before u buy one, like: do u travel a lot? if yes, then u need a light weighted and GOOD battery life laptop.\nIf you work in graphics& multimedia, you need a strong processor with powerful VGA card. \nIf u want it for Internet and such stuff, you wont be in need for a Super or Ultra fast processor, i mean a P III will do the job with 256 RAM will be more than enough..\nSo,, your needs dectates your choice..\nbest luck

Buy the most that you can afford.  I would make sure that the computer has at least 512mb memory, 2ghz processor, 128mb video card and 160gb harddrive.

The 1000 laptop will be smaller, lighter and faster.  However you might not need all of that.  The cheapo one is usually good for anyone as long as its brand new.
