b-day
hi my birth day is coming up and i want a laptop. my parents are willing to buy me one for a reasonable price and they want it to do most everything (burn cds, is internet accesible, and that i can use most everywhere with a good batterie) any ideas on the brand? thanx for your help!

Want to answer more questions in the Technology category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Computers?
It really depends on what a resonable price is. There are some laptops out there for 3000 dollars, so im going to assume that you mean for less than 1000. Though I wouldn't recommend it, you could get a Dell laptop that has most of that stuff for less than 800 or so. But if you want a real computer, go Apple. with this [Link](Mouse over link to see full location) you get the combo drive that will enable you to burn cds and cdrw's. I'm just using Dell's as an example, but Dell's are problem computers, so I'd probably go more towards an HP or IBM if you decide against an Apple. My dad has an IBM and it rocks to say the least. Try to stay away from Celeron processors if you can. [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)

Dell is the best for computers and laptops but they can also be very expensive. But i think it equals out because they last a long time and they are really fast for a long time. So i would recommend those even though theyre expensive. (www.dell.com)

Ignore most of what was said to you tonight on the topic and take a deep breath. Your birthday may indeed be coming up but do not pressure your family on this issue. Why? If you do they might buy something that is a lemon and an awful choice indeed or one that heats up like a Toshiba too often and
components burn out.
Be weary of that and my next most important MUST DO item here. GET THE EXTENDED 3 YEAR WARRENTY. YOU WILL NEED IT LAPTOPS MALFUNCTION ALL THE TIME.
SECONDLY, A laptop is meant to be functional and not your all in one entertainment system with burner, DVD, etc. You already own that stuff and do not need it on a laptop. In fact, all you ought to care about is the word processor, speed, etc. for school projects and being able to write wherever you are and how many ports on it for wireless attachments for printer, internet. And not much else. You really do not need all of that on a laptop.
You can buy a great Dell or a Sony even if willing to strip away components that would be nice but non-essential and only buy one two add ons.

like they said, dells are good. but can be expensive. toshiba's good, and i think its a little cheaper. go to [Link](Mouse over link to see full location) and type in something like "good laptop" or something, see what you get. there are a lot of brands, and im not really an expert. so try google, or yahoo. those work for me all the time.
comment back.

i dont give a dam what anyone says but compaws all the way.
i own 18 compaq and hp pc's and laptops. compared to anything else ive tried its very good.
dell is just stupid becouse it comes with a lot of unneded things and is just a company i would trust.
sony is just to expensive for what it does
toshiba is very unrealiable
apple arent compatible with things i need to use the laptops with
