Speed is overrated, as you can't type faster than a Pentium 90 MHz CPU, unless you want to play game.  Same thing about memory unless you games are important.  256MB is plenty for most typical needs.  Your connection speed is more important. Lots of people like the Macs, but the market is far larger for Windows based PCs.  All the new ones have wifi and most have DVD-CDRW.  IBM and Toshiba are the best PC based laptops.  Now size is major.  Laptops weight between 4 to 10 pounds.  All the major manufacturers have products in that price range.  I like the latest from IBM the model T60.  However, they are expensive.

The Apple MacBook could be the laptop your'e looking for. It may seem more expensive at first but it will last far longer for you as well as the lack of viruses, spyware, adware, trojans, etc. It also comes with a lot more applications and software than most windows-run laptops. I believe they're going to incorporate bootcamp soon so if you visit an apple store or something they can help you out with that as well. You can also get a 100 dollar student discount on the laptop through apple. The website below has all the specifications. any questions feel free to email me. I use both often and have a much easier time with the Macs as far as not having to do any maitenance for it.\n\nOh and it also comes with an application called Dashboard that Windows lacks. It's a program that has widgets and just a ton of  awesome stuff in general.

Depends on your needs, actually. My vote goes for IBM T43 (I trust the brand, it's light, and I've used a T42 for a while) or a Dell Latitude D810 (better graphics card, slightly cheaper; my office has 3 of them and they've not failed yet).

I like the Dell Latitude D-420.  It weighs 3 Lbs and has a 12" screen.

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...

best bet at a price of under £650 is the Dell Inspiron 6400\nhttp://www1.euro.dell.com/content/products/features.aspx/inspn_6400?c=uk&cs=ukdhs1&l=en&s=dhs

There is a utility available on http://cnet.com where you can browse thru the available options as per your requirement.  The path is as follow:\nhttp://exactchoice.cnet.com/Type.aspx\nFor quick reference, 512MB RAM, 60GB HDD and Windows XP SP2 should be fine for Home use.  Can buy any Acer, Dell, HP laptop.  They will be cheap and durable.

no best one. with laptops all depends on ur budget. first think what u need to do with it a long time. say 3-5 years, then ur budget. because with laptops it doesnt make sense to upgrade and they are all pretty much fixed with the hardware u buy in the beginning. so get whatever u need for the next 3-5 years in the laptop now. the newer processors are more energy efficient and fster so consider that. but doesnt have to be the latest depending on what tasks u need to perform.\nget wireless now also. it'll be worth it i think. graphics ard nowadays are much better and can cater for games too if u are inclined.\nrest are generally optional. dont worry too much about dvd/cd burners, as the solid state memories, like USB stick are large enough to stick a lot in and are more mobile, than heaving cd/dvds around...\ncheck for ventilation and the location of the HDD/batteries. they may be located where your hand rests while using the keyboard. this can get hot and uncomfortable for some...

If the money is not an important factor for that and also you don't need a number one monitor (LCD) go ahead with an IBM Think Pad T Series. It's the perfect choice.\nIf the LCD is an important factor get a one that has a technology in LCD (like as Toshiba and SONY).\nAlso the following specifications are highly recommended in your laptop:\nHDD: (No matter what's the size but) at least 5400 RPM or 7200 RPM\nLCD: 15" (Wide is also a good choice but the wide LCDs has less life than a normal LCD and also cheaper in producing)\nBluetooth: Up to you if you have such devices.\nMouse: TouchPad and TrackPoint both are recommended.\nDisk Drive: Floppy is dead long time ago as you know. But DVD-RAM is not a perfect choice if you don't use. So get a Combo drive (CD-RW, DVD-ROM)\nWLAN: If you don't use no need to take a Centrino.\nCPU: 533Mhz FSB is a good choice, much better than 400Mhz FSB.\nRAM: at least 1 GB. DDR2 is recommended.\nGPU: nVidia, ATI both are good.

Get the Compaq Presario V3000Z series. It's very cheap (I bought mine for $479.99) , and performs well. You can find it here:\nhttp://www.shopping.hp.com/webapp/shopping/computer_can_series.do?storeName=computer_store&category=notebooks&a1=Usage&v1=Everyday+computing&series_name=V3000Z_series

wel!! thats not such a baaad budget!\nyou can tyr the HP nx6325 notebook, its got the AMD Turion 64 X2 processor  which is the best in its category and its the fastest as well ans for $ 1049, its wel under ur budget!! all you can do is upgrade the RAM to 1 GB DDR800 RAM and thats it!! but you might consider the display is limited at 1024 x 768, if ur watchin movies and editin photos this is OK, but for gaming it might not be!!\naniwayz, if u ask me, i'd take this come-what-may!!

Personally I recommend Toshiba laptops. They have multiple makes (Satellite and Qosimo among others) and variations of each to fit your budget. [See the link below]\n\nSome extra information: on any laptop, what to watch out for is if the AC power port is on the rear of the laptop, be careful not to tilt the base backwards when opening the screen. This can bend the cord and result in the the port becoming detached internally. That's why no matter what laptop you decide to purchase, I highly recommend spending the extra on a good extended warranty.
