best deal on laptops for college student image
Cal
I am a college student looking for a laptop with good wireless internet connection and a decent battery life. I would mainly use the laptop for Internet and Word documents. I want a reasonable price and don't really need that many bells and whistles.
Answer
There is really no BEST laptop brand from ANY company as these manufacturers all have produced "Gold" and "Lemons" in their time.
Most answers will tell you to buy "THIS" or "THAT" brand because it is the best, just remember that it is the best for THEM not for you.
Most people will tell you of a best "brand" but their actual answer is based on the MODEL they have not the entire brand and you should not judge a company by ONE model as they make hundreds of them.
This being said, here is how to do more precise research to find the best one for YOU:
The first step is to get information on the laptops that you are interested in and, as a second step, to search online at web stores (like Amazon or similar) or at retail shops (BestBuy, staples or similar) for the best deals on the ones you would really like to have based on your search.
This way, you get the best working laptops at the best prices.
As laptop specs change often, it is good to get non-vendor/non-partisan/non-groupie information so you should do some checking on these review/guide sites to help fine tune your search.
At each site, start by checking models and then compare them with others (or against each other) by choosing different options using boxes and drop down menus to customize the search and get what you want in your laptop ( there is even a way on some of those sites to look by inputting the price you are willing to pay to minimize the impact on your wallet ).
Your time will not be wasted (after all, you get all this from the comfort of your home) and you should find something to your liking and budget.

Good luck on your research.
P.S.: By the way, I own a Dell ;) but it's an older model (2002) on the way out soon (to be replaced by a still unknown brand as I will be doing research).

What is a decent gaming computer and for school work under 500, but prefer 400 dollars?

I am looking for a new laptop and on a college students budget unforchantly lol.
I play online games such as minecraft and perfect world and maybe thinking about diablo III, i just want one that will run decently without over heating. Thank you, any ideas will be helpful.
Answer
Here's a great laptop for the price (400): http://www.ebay.com/itm/Dell-Inspiron-17R-7110-17-3-Intel-i3-2-10-GHz-GT-525M-6-GB-500-GB-Black-/170926619349?pt=Laptops_Nov05&hash=item27cc053ad5
Please note all computers are from ebay, only way you'll get what you want.
It has a GT525m gpu (better than integrated) and a i3 2310m (good). It is used but in good condition. I'm not personally selling it but the seller has 100% positive feedback (great). I highly recommend this buy, it's a great deal.
The first Dell is ancient? It's still being sold from Dell.
And I know in most cases it's a bad idea however this gpu is known to overclock well and isn't hot.
I would never recommend overclocking a laptop in any way unless I knew the cooling was adequate. My friend owns the second laptop listed, I know what I'm talking about. His is actually slower than the one listed.
This might be able to do what you need: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Dell-Latitude-D830-2-5GHz-T9300-Quadro-NVS-140M-256MB-500GB-4GB-WUXGA-DVDRW-XP-/220904096021?pt=Laptops_Nov05&hash=item336ee90115
It's really good for the money, I recommend overclocking the GPU though (the 140 is known for overclocking well, just don't go crazy).
I'd personally overclock it to these levels:
Core 475mhz
Ram 700mhz IF the ram is at 600mhz already
Shader 950
To overclock you'll need an overclocking tool but you can easily find that online.
If things get glitchy after overclocking just lower the clock speeds 5mhz at a time still it's stable.
If you don't care about screen size then this would perform better but with a smaller screen:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Dell-Latitude-E6400-Intel-C2D-P8700-2-53Ghz-250GB-4GB-Nvidia-NVS-160M-Win-7-Pro-/281001209877?pt=Laptops_Nov05&hash=item416cfa301
Andy clearly doesn't understand what "under 500" means hahaha. I know the laptops I listed weren't the best but they are great computers for the price. The people that disliked probably have Core i7 laptops that couldn't even comprehend having a Core 2 Duo in their system despite it being a decent processor. Ignore the dislikes, please. I know what I'm talking about, if you wanted a $520 laptop I would suggest something different but that wasn't what you wanted. Maybe if people READ what you wanted they wouldn't be giving me thumbs downs.
