I'm going off to college in a couple months and I need to buy a laptop... anyone know of any good deals or what I should get? thanks
 
im doing the same thing as you, i was thinking acer but i really dont know much about laptops
 
Depends what you're into. If you'll be doing alot of media work (Photoshop, vid editing, etc.) get an iMac. They have superior displays and take up no space (the whole computer is desktop...no tower). Hot!
 
he was asking for a laptop not a desktop lol

anyways, i'd suggest a dell or toshiba. even check out HP.
 
dell xps's are dope. hp's are fucking sick too, but i hear they cost A LOT and are difficult to fix since you can only buy hp parts. umm, toshibas are good aswell

if youre wanting to spend a lot, get an alienware, mmmm
 
Oops. The point I was making was in reference to the guy above who was saying to get a Mac. I was just saying Mac if you are interested in graphic art and such. Mac makes laptops too...Lol.
 
yeaaa i was thinking a mac or a dell inspiron cause thats what my bro has... I like the idea of a mac except i want to play games and shit on it and I heard there not as good, i may be wrong though, cause i know NOTHING about laptops. All i know is Mac's are a little more expensive than the dells... i also dont know where to buy it... anyone know any good sites to buy laptops off of?
 
get a mac and if you want to run windows on it just get bootcamp. it's the best of both worlds.

and PM ME FOR AN INVITE INTO THE MAC CULT!
 
actually some of the newer macs have over heating problems (laptop ones), by the way check out the site tigerdirect.com and slickdeals.com for cheap laptops. also try newegg. just set a price range and look into whats available and decide.
 
dont buy a dell. they're customer service blows. they trick you with warranties.whenever you call them for something, you get some lady in india and you end up saying "what was that?" or "can you say that again?" a dozen times. i wont buy from them again...

i'd go with a sony or toshiba
 
i suggest mac. they simply rock, and if youre dissapointed well you have boot camp so you can still run XP or Vista on it
 
I just got a 15.4" dell inspiron with a 128mb hard drive and a 2GB ram for 1600$, it has a camera and a bunch of other shit on it too.
 
similar situation...i needed a computer for college this fall, and decided to get a macbook pro and absolutely love it. they are an expensive option, but it has yet to dissappoint me so far. Plus, if you buy it now with your student discount, you get $200 off the computer, a free printer and ipod with rebate, which is a pretty sweet deal.

 
^it is a good deal i already have a nano so i got the ipos neways and sold it to my sis im a dick lol. also get invited to appleheads cult
 
Just get a customized Dell Inspiron, macs are overpriced for the power you get.

For under $1000 I got a laptop with:

-2 gigabytes of RAM

-256 megabyte ATI x1400 graphics card

-120 gigabyte hard drive

-1.86 gigahertz core Duo processor

-DVD burner

Its nowhere near as powerful as a Dell XPS or Mac Powerbook 2, however for less than $1000 I can run vista and games (like Elder Scrolls 4:Oblivion on high visual settings) flawlessly.
