We are in the market for a new laptop computer that has just the basics but can also store videos and be capable of burning CDs or DVDs and I don’t understand all the abbrev. of Rws and such. Our budget can’t go to far over ,000. Any help would be welcome, thanks.

I will be getting one very soon and need to start shopping right now. It is my first notebook computer (had desktops all my life) and I like Dell and HP, but which one? Can I have some suggestions? Also, if you have other brands that you feel are totally cool, feel free to add them to the poll.

Thanks in Advance!

I’m looking for something that isn’t huge and bulky. I would also like it to be able to utilize wi-fi so she can study with her friends at coffee houses and such. I was looking at refurbished computers on the Dell site, but I don’t know enough to sort through all the tech stuff. Please provide me with all the specs I should be looking for in the computer.

I’m looking for a notebook for college, but I don’t know what kind or what specifics are really necessary. I’m going into engineering so I will need something that can run any program with a lot of graphics but I’m really not into gaming so I don’t need a lot of that. What is really necessary in a notebook? And what should I stay away from? Oh yeah right now I’m looking at a Dell. Is that a good name brand?
