good laptop websites

[khelil]

could anyone recommend a good website for buying new and decent laptops at good prices? also, what should i look for in a good laptop?

It depends what you want to use it for.

If just web browsing, word processing, etc., then a comparatively low speed processor will do. Make sure that it has USB2 ports though. And about 512Mb RAM. CD RW/DVD ROM, Ethernet port, modem. A hard disk size of about 40Gb is the norm.

For gaming, Image Editing, Video Editing, you need a relatively high specification machine, with lots (1GB at least) of memory (RAM), USB2, Firewire, independent graphics and sound cards, CD/DVD RW, preferably Dual Layer. Ethernet port and Modem (for faxing or dial-up connections). You will also need a large hard disk capacity, in the region of 80-120Gb, with fast access times, 7200rpm.

In any event, make sure that you get an Operating System disk (unlikely), or a "restore" disk.

Also check what software is included, unless you already have it.

Notebooks (or "laptops") are more expensive than their desktop counterparts. Prices vary, but

and

carry reasonable prices.

No, I do not work for them, though I have purchased from them in the past.
