i need a laptop for my junior year of high school (1 online course, 3 ap classes, and Science olympiad) and i don't need the best, just something i can type, search the internet and such. should i buy online (any reliable sites?), wait for sales or what? i plan on getting a better one when i get to college.

Answer
best buy currently has a best offer of $399. hp laptop with 1 GB RAM and 180 GB hard drive. I think you can buy it from there if there is a best buy shop around there or you can buy it online at bestbuy.com

Best college student laptop?

Rhi

I am going to college in the fall with about $2500 for the semester. I still need to buy my books ( going to michigan state about $300- $400) I will need to get my own phone plan ( under 18 should be expensive too.) What is my best bet for buying a computer?

I really like the Mac books, normal white, but after installing programs it's about 1400. Or with cheaper programs about 1200. Is it worth it? What other good laptops are there?

I don't need anything for gaming. Just for basic internet use, files etc... College student needs.

Answer
Any laptop made in the last three years will do what you mention and they can be had for a third of the price of a new macbook. I would recommend something smaller and more portable so that it can be used in class and not stay in your dorm room. Some good models to look at that will be in the $400 - $600 range are HP 6510b, 6910p, and NC6400

You can save money on software by using open source / freeware software like Open Office instead of buying Microsoft Office. If you have to have Microsoft Office you can get a deal with a student discount through your college.
