what is a good laptop for a reasonble price?

I am looking for a good namebrand laptop at a reasonable price. I don't need it for gaming or business or anything. I do like music and I would like it to have a webcam on it. Other than that I don't care. Although I don't really want a Mac. I can not do all the Mac stuff, too confusing

Responses:

Best Buy or Circuit City is a good place. Cheap and good. You could wait until the end of summer when they advertise better deals for the back - to - school specials which I know they will have
infoengen.com / laptop.htm get best price of Laptop here Best Regards Shaun Marsh
too confusing? solution: apple.com / onetoone and where else do you find a computer that has the software and hardware made by the same company? this means that when you bring it to the Genius Bar in store IT department with a 2 - 3 day turn around time with 90% of repairs done IN store they know exactly how to fix it
you can buy DELL INSPIRON. its cheap low maintainable, according to your requirement, windows enable, can connect WEB - Cam with it
compaq is what i have and it does what i want which is the same as you want exellent!
First of all, the Mac is not as confusing as you may think. You just have to know what programs do what iTunes for music and videos; Safari for the internet; iChat for instant messaging / AIM. If you want a good computer for a good price, get one made by HP / Compaq. It doesn't really matter if it is made by either HP or Compaq as both are one in the same. The cheaper laptops seem to be the Compaq Presario series. DO NOT GET A DELL INSPIRON. They are cheap because they make them cheaply. If you were to get a Dell laptop, then make sure that you get a La ude. Although they are intended more so for businesses, they are much more durable and reliable. I used to have a Dell La ude XPi that was made in the mid - 1990s and it worked flawlessly. Even after I dropped the computer granted the monitor was ed in one of the corners and there was an orange spot where it was ed
For Vista, look at the MS requirements?and double it at least and make sure it's certified. Triple if you can afford?then Vista should rock your socks. If you learn how to use it, Vista features and technology blows XP away?when it works. ; You want it to last so get 64 - bit Vista Home Premium or Ultimate. It?s mega - fast with 64 - bit apps as well as lets you upgrade > 4GB TOTAL RAM system RAM graphics card other devices. But if you have old programs, they might not work esp. with 64 - bit version. Google ?Vista compatibility list?. Knowing a bit about computers helps getting the old problematic ones to work Internet has a lot of solutions that smart people share. Ultimate is the best but if you don?t think you need anything that fancy, Home Premium is good too. Get a good video card if you want Aero graphics at least 256MB 128 - bit in the newer cards. Better if you can afford. Vista uses extra RAM to store commonly used files in a new activity known as ?disk caching?. The computer uses artificial intelligence to determine which files will be used most and copies it to RAM where it is much faster than accessing your hard disk. This includes components of the programs you use on a regular basis. When you need more RAM for programs you launch, etc. the computer purges the ?least likely used? files from RAM to make room for the new program. That?s why if you look at the performance monitor, Vista always has near zero ?free? RAM. So in theory, the more RAM for disk cache you have, the faster your computer will operate. This can also be augmented to a lesser effect with a USB flash drive with a technology called ReadyBoost. Just stick it in and select ?Speed up my system? and leave it there. Vista Home Premium and Ultimate has Windows Media Center, where with a TV card / USB adapter if not integrated of the type that fits your TV / Cable, acts similar to TiVo. You can play your videos, schedule recordings, etc. You can get a wireless keyboard / mouse or gyro - mouse and it will be sort of like remote control. If you do this, get a big Hard Disk. Vista supports touch - screens and voice recognition if you?re into note - taking and dictation. A good program to use with this is OneNote, which is included in some Office editions. Deals of America and Tech Bargains catch good deals on HP and Dell?s and sometimes you can get like $500 off! XPBargains has deals on Tablet PC?s! dealsofamerica.com / techbargains.com / xpbargains.com / best_deal.php / tablet_pc_deals.htm ? Unless you are an artist, most Universities and programs as well as the rest of the world use Windows. WinMacs are popular but for the price, Macs don?t run Windows as well as other brands, but sometimes it doesn't really matter that much to most users. In addition some just want it for fashion and like them to match their iPods. Macs are durable because many have an accelerometer in there that can "increase the chance" of saving your hard drive when you drop it. Like those used in airbags. The power cord is also magnetically attached so it reduces the chance that you yank it off the table. OSXMacs can exclusively install Final Cut Pro which is good for media work. Adobe CS is also good and available for Windows but works better on OSX. The Windows version actually looks like an OSX port. I would suspect that many OSX keepers are artists as usual. Emotion workers are generally not as good with computers as logic workers so OSX is good for them. So that?s why a lot of computer newbies also use Macs and you will see a lot of ?Get a Mac! They are so awesome!? without any technical explanation to back up that opinion. Mac Pros: OSX stability OSX is easy to use Dual - bootable to Windows More durable than many brands Trendy Mac Cons: Not as much peripheral support Not as much software support Windows doesn?t run as good Expensive Minority Windows PC Pros: More customizable More choices More styles Cheap hardware Vista has best gaming capability Direct3D 10 Windows PC Cons: Less stable unless you are an IT pro Many are relatively not as fashionable Not as user - friendly Some extra features in Windows requires advanced knowledge to use The extra features require better hardware despite your use of them or not Details of features can be found here: en. wikipedia.org / wiki / Windows_Vista en. wikipedia.org / wiki / Mac_OS_X Some brand statistics: In terms of recent sales, the top 3 manufacturers are HP, Dell, and Acer Gateway.
