What's a good computer?
So, my birthday is coming up soon and I know my mom's going to start asking me what I want for a present. I was thinking maybe a new computer, because I already have a laptop and it kind of gets glitchy a lot because it's a couple of years old. I was looking at my dad's computer, which is one of those newer ones that are really small, because in a year when I go off to college, I'd like something that wouldn't take up a lot of space. I don't really know a lot about computers though :/ Any good brand names I should look at? I just want it to be reliable, fast, and for it to be able to play some games like Sims without glitching up. So, if any of you know a lot about computers, any advice you can give me? I know the people at the store are supposed to help you but I'm always paranoid that they're just showing you the expensive stuff so they can make more money :b anyways, thanks for any advice! :)

You want a Dell. For college, Dell.
They've got some decent laptops, not too big, which will do whatever you want it to do. Make sure you get something with a video card and at least 300 gigs of hard drive space. 3 gigs of ram, but that'll probably be standard anyway.
Dell's customer service sucks most of the time, but their actual warranty is what's great. They've got accident coverage and stuff. When your room mate spills something on your computer and you can get a new one, you'll be thankful for it. Get a Dell laptop with a 4 year warranty.
I don't like Apple, but if you specifically want a mac their warranties aren't all that bad.
Stay away from anyone else. You don't want to buy a computer from best buy.
