best laptop for media student image

michael_ha

I'm off to college, but I need a new computer. I have a really tight budget ($600) and am looking for an affordable laptop that can play media as well as help me out with my college life. I don't really care if it's mac, windows, etc. I just need durability, usability, and versatility under $600. Can anyone help me?

Answer
Try Craigs list or Ebay

What is, and where can I buy a good multimedia laptop in Singapore?

I'm a university student taking up a Digital Media course in Australia this year. I'm thinking of getting a good, graphics-intensive, media-orientated laptop. You know, for editing movies, 3-D graphics manipulation, photo-editing, etc. Not those heavy high-end desktop replacements. Just a relatively light, upper-tier one with widescreen and good multimedia capabilities. Should I get an iBook (Mac OS)? Or Windows Vista? What model would you recommend me as a digital media student? Where can I find such a model(s) at an affordable price? I'm willing to spend more than S$2000, but preferably below S$3000. Ones with International Warranties are best. Please help!
