Ok so my parents are getting me my own computer for school. The computer will be used for homework (writing papers) and the sims 2. How much spac do you think I need? Would 4gb be enough?

Sims 2 games system requirements need thi space..
Ram: 256 mb or more
Hard drive: atleast 5.5gb of free space.

What's a good computer brand at a good price?

4GB is almost nothing these days. You will not be able to run The Sims 2, or pretty much any modern game. It's possible a computer with that amount of space is running Linux instead of Windows (look at the specs); this is not a good idea for you.

I would not consider a computer with less than 40GB of storage unless I was truly using it only for web browsing and word processing. (They're called NETbooks for a reason.) Not only will audio/video take up a lot of space, but the computer will probably not be powerful enough to play HD video.

I've heard good things about Lenovo notebooks. I've never owned one, though.
