Is this computer good enough for college? I plan to just use it for entertainment + assignments. Also, is it easy to connect to wireless? Do I need to buy an adapter for the wireless internet to work?

Thanks for any answers. I don't really know much about the specifications of laptops.

P.S. Is it good enough to play computer games on?

Answer
This is not a bad laptop. For what you plan on using it for I think it would work out just fine. Be careful about what games you buy for this because not all High end games will work on it with the graphics card it has in it. But if you are just trying to play some basic games to include WOW then you should be fine. As for wireless you need no adapter. It has wireless built into it. So as long as there is a wireless network set up you can connect to it (assuming you know the security settings).

Laptop suggestions for a college-bound student?

Can someone help me find a decent laptop?
Why: Heading to my first year of college in the US and looking for help finding a good laptop. I live overseas so desktop is not an option I'm considering
Budget: US$1000.
I'm not very computer intelligent so I won't understand the technical terms pertaining to the specs. It should fulfill all the college functions like being able to connect to wireless internet, USB port (for a memory stick). Also want to have decent gaming specs (I'm not looking for a pure gaming laptop, and I understand that finding super gaming specs is hard for a $1000 budget)
Windows XP preferable over Vista.
Custom-made laptops are welcome suggestions.
I'm looking at some Dell laptops and refurbished laptops seem to be a pretty good deal. Anyone have first hand experience with refurb laptops? Are they really that much different or is it almost the same as a new laptop?

Answer
i would encourage you to go for a laptop that is STRONG.. that will not be damaged very easily etc..

DELL is a very good brand of laptop. the are very strong. i have had one for 4 years and i have had NOOOO problems with it (except after a year and a half i had to replace the battery... regular thing for ALL laptops). they have a new series called the Dell Studio.. i would encourage you to get a dell studio 15 .. got to Dell.com to costumise any setting recommended.. they explain what the are so you dont have to worry you will understand! :D

hope this helps
