[HamadaLFC8]

So guys I wanna buy a new laptop. Since there are some pretty educated computer ppl on this forum I thought I might as well just ask you guys for help too

Shouldn't be more than $1000 please
Good battery life and also plz not too big and good memory!

Thanks a lot guys! :D

What other specs are you looking for? Like screen size, hard drive size, preference on memory amount.

You should be able to get a decent one with that budget.

Just stay away from Dell.

Yeahhh I realized Dell wasn't so wow, and it doesn't have to amazing not much detail on what i want just a decent one for school work and stuff you know? :p

here is a sony Vaio, $879, 4gb ram, 500gb hdd, 5hr battery life, intel i7 cpu. Very strong and definitely will allow you to do a lot more than just schoolwork:

Here is another Vaio with a smaller screen and i3 processor, $629:

Here is a toshiba with similar specs but a weaker CPU, it's a different version of what I have. The one I have is sold out. This one is $499.

No problem :) if you don't like any of those or would like something more specific, let me know.

You should also look through the links and see the actual details of the hardware. Some might interest you more than others. I only posted a few of the many details that you'll find on the actual page.

I think I will go for a sony vaio, they seem really appealing to me

I'm a fan of Asus, don't wanna complicate your decision, but here's one to compare with the higher end Vaio:

Newegg.com - ASUS N53 Series N53SV-B1 NoteBook Intel Core i5 2410M 6GB Memory DDR3 1333 640GB HDD 5400rpm BD Combo NVIDIA GeForce GT 540M (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834230077)

Brief pro/con comparison of the differences to the Vaio:

Pros:
2 GB more RAM (memory)
Better GPU
Bigger HDD
Blu-Ray

Cons:
Slightly smaller screen
Weaker CPU
No info on battery life, maybe google would turn up something.
$20 more in price


Other than that the two are pretty much identical in specs. Both are great deals and you can't go wrong either way.

If you were looking at the lower end Vaio you can ignore this post :P
