Just kidding. This is the one I'm probably getting in a week or so, might expand the RAM to 8 GB for ~$150 moar while I'm at it. Lenovo, ASUS and Sony are supposed to be the best brands.

You do know that that HP I showed you is like the same thing for $200 cheaper? Although I could see that you might look away because its HP

I think that a 15 or 16 inch screen should get the job done for you. And for what you need it for you can get it at like $700 and under. I would say get at least 4GB RAM and you should get a dedicated video card if you can. Intel's Core i Line would be good too.

Yeah HP kinda scares me a bit Really the only major annoyance with that Lenovo I picked is its pitiful 1366x768 screen res, coming from a res of 1440x900 on my current laptop which I'm selling soon. But oh well, I have an external monitor I can connect it to if need be.

Ya, I can see that. My brothers last laptop fried the video card, got too hot. My brother didnt help though.

And with my crap monitor, I dont really notice res. unless its 800X600. Ya, this thing is like 15 years old.

Acer are good brands for laptops
we have 7 in our house and they've all lasted a good while

Try ACER brand.

for 900€ you can get a pretty damn sweet laptop, stay away from mac, they tend to be pricier just for having and apple drawn on them.

If I were you and had the money - I would get a MacBook.

Easy to use and no viruses. And it works.

Ya, If you can afford it and your not playing games, I would get a Mac. I would get it because your in College and the battery Life is much better then PCs because Apple can control everything about it. My school is buying them because of that and they are easy to support. You can get like 10 hours on a charge with sleep. Outside of school, I dont think I would get one though.

If you get a laptop, things to look for include screen size, processor type, graphics type, and the battery life.

lul, oh boy...

Let me break down everything wrong with that statement you just made.

"If I were you and had the money - I would get a MacBook.

Easy to use and no viruses. And it works."

First off, he isn't you and does have the money. Then when you said "I would get a MacBook" which is a correct opinion.

"Easy to use;" it's also easy for me to go up to a wall and smash my head into it several dozen times. "no viruses;" I don't see any citations that proves they don't but hey let's take your word for it, everyone knows those damn computer hackers can't make a virus on a Mac or on Linux because it's just impossible, it's nothing to do with the fact it's pointless to program on something thats not even 10% of the market share.

Then your final statement was "And it works.," well I don't even have to say anything about that now, do I?

Can we not turn this thread into an angst-laden "Mac vs. PC" argument please? OP wanted recommendations about which laptop she should get, and that's it. If you'd like to debate about which platform gets M0AR VIRAZAZ because M0AR MARKUTSHAER then by all means, start a new thread.
