What kind of laptop would you buy right now?

Well, if you are looking for a laptop for gaming, a net book is definitely out of the question. If I were you and I had $1000 buget, I would check out all the laptops in that price range and select base on the following criteria: 1) Largest screen in the price range. 2) At least a 2GHz CPU with 1GB RAM. (Best if there is a free upgrade to 2GB) 3) At least a 160GB HDD. 4) MUST have a DVD rom or DVD/RW rom built-in in the laptop. This specifications should be enough to get you going on playing a lot of different games that are already in the market. But if you do not need the mobility, a desktop is definitely better for gaming purposes. Cos with a $1000 budget, you can get a really cool PC with some top end parts to increase your gaming experience!

I just bought myself my first laptop back in September...I didnt need anything fancy shmancy mind you since it was originally for just writing but now I go online with it and so on as well..I forget all the details to the lap I have but its a Dell Inspiron and I love it..We (the kids and I) like the Macs too though (we play on my gfs when we go to visit) but it just so happens that all of our computers are Dells so we already have an account there etc so gttng a dell just was easier LOL

there is one on walmart.com i would to get it is an acer mini color for 298.00 i have my old one on ebay for sell so i can get the new one.

My husband says to go to apple (Mac) computers they seem to have less virus and Trojans in them...

The Newest MACBOOK Thats Out :D

I would buy another Lenovo ThinkPad. They're pretty, reliable, stable and I think their customer service is great :)

I am getting one in may and only gonna cost me 330$ http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=10929406 but this may not be the kind you are looking for

I have a HP laptop for 3 years now and it's very reliable even though the battery has degraded. I've upgraded it to Windows 7 beta and it is running as good as new! Actually I'm also considering of buying a newer one, which should be smaller and lighter so I can fit into a small bag, but does not compromise on the graphics and processing power. I believe that most of the new laptops have enough processing and graphics power to allow playing of latest games, and still within your budget. Personally I like the HP Mini 1122, but you can consider getting the mid-range HP Pavilion dv series of laptops.

I'd say apple but I don't think they are very good for gaming. Did you get a computer yet?

I'd say apple but I dont think they are very good for gaming.

I would also like to buy a gaming laptop.You need the laptop with ta 256 MB graphics card installed in it.You also need your screen to be very wide to play comfortably.You also need to have good sound configuration in your laptop.If you play network games you need to have good internet speed.

I like sonny and apple , i think few of their laptop modals design are slick and very attractive, you should take a look at them.

i think hp is best for you. have a nice day.

I think IBM is suitable work. it has a stable property,but his style maybe formal and have little attraction to woman. Sony always be loved by youngsters for his fashional design. The laptop of Sony can have different color for your choice,and have different hardware specification for your purpose.So the brand is appreciate by girls

I like the idea of using a lap top and the convince of being able to be mobile with it. I do not know what brand to get. You where gone when I told the rest of my lot for Christmas my son bought me a new computer for Christmas and it is a Dell desk top. He did not get a monitor but the computer was such a great gift and such a surprise. How is your son? Did they get his seizures under control? Take care my friend

Lecan, you may want to look at Cyberpowerpc and I have samples here from $789 to $879 http://www.cyberpowerpc.com/system/Xplorer_X5-2900_Notebook/ http://www.cyberpowerpc.com/system/Xplorer_X5-5900_Notebook/ Or you can try Ibuypower, I found a sample one here from $750 to $999 http://www.ibuypower.com/ibp/store/configurator.aspx?mid=370 http://www.ibuypower.com/ibp/store/configurator.aspx?mid=320 http://www.ibuypower.com/ibp/store/configurator.aspx?mid=338 In terms of getting a custom build from those advanced sites take note of some of the following: OS - Your choice on XP or Vista, but you may want opinions on the matter. NVIDIA is the best way to go for gaming video cards (ATI you've failed me enough for one lifetime) - 9600s are decent and typical for laptop builds. Plus most cards come with a sizeable video memory 256MB-512MB (1GB+ gets costly). Internal memory - 2GB should be plenty (unless you go Vista, then its only moderate). Some of the setups I picked should have 4GB memory. If you do use 2GB and Vista most games will run on it, but the ones demanding technological and financial slavery will not obviously. Hard Disk - For the most part bigger is better and the sizes of 160GB to 250GB should be enough for your gaming (especially THAT game)

I would buy a dell laptop. I saw one for only 399 dollars! It looked good enough for me.
