New Laptop for College-Bound student?

lolaurence

Hey guys, I'm going to graduate soon and for a graduation present my mom is giving me a $500 limit on a brand new laptop.
What's the best laptop I can get out there within the price range.

Keep in mind that this laptop must be able to suit my needs:
Lots of music, pictures and videos
Networking (ex. Myspace, Aim, Yahoo, Windows Live)
School Work (ex. Big papers, powerpoints, spreadsheets)
Decent battery life

I prefer a Windows system, but if there's a good Mac out there that'll fit these needs, then by all means PLEASE let me know.
Thanks yahoo!

Hell Laurence,
If your mom is providing you with $500, then why don't you better wait for some few more days and ask for $500 more so that you can buy a good Dell laptop in that price. The price of the technology and the electronics goods are decreasing every day, so I think it would be a prudent decision if you can wait a bit longer and then buy a brand new hunk laptop.

As far as your choices are concerned -- the one that you have mentioned; I think you will get all those features in that price. But if you are in hurry, then you can buy a laptop at that price. You will get all those features you have mentioned. Those are the basic features of any computer. So, any computer can have at least those features. You do not need to worry about it, dude.

Wish you all the best with your new laptop.

What are some good laptops for engineering college students?

Brandon

Here are my requirements:
-Windows 7
-A intel core i5 or i7 processor
-At least 6GB ram
-At least 500GB hard drive
-Wireless Networking

I am looking for something that would work for my next 4 years in college. If you don't really know about engineering school, there are some programs that take a lot of ram and need a decent graphics card, so it can't be a piece of shit. If it meets the requirements it should work good though. I am looking for something in the $500 - $1,000 range, but definitely under $1,500. I can get some pretty good discounts on Dell, HP, and Lenovo computers through my school so those are the preferred brands. I also would prefer a full keyboard and something that has at least a 15 inch screen. Thanks for all your suggestions.

Most reliable laptop brands: the results

Apple tops the list, as might be expected from such a premium PC builder. Apple products are far from cheap, but they do offer a quality experience. Runner up Dell has a very different business model. It, like other high-ranking brands HP and Asus, operates as a volume laptop maker, selling many thousands of laptops every week. We would expect to see them, and Lenovo, high up in our list because they sell so many PCs: but their higher ranking suggests a lot of satisfied customers.

Apple: 19%
Dell: 12%
Asus: 11%
HP: 11%
Acer: 9%
Lenovo: 9%
Toshiba: 9%
Samsung: 7%
Sony: 6%
Alienware: 3%
Fujitsu: 1%
MSI: 1%
Panasonic: 1%
I do not agree with this. But this was the results of a large survey...

That is a great question, hope I was able to help. Good Luck...
