I’m looking for a laptop to replace my iPad. I was looking at Macbooks, but they’re far out of my price range. I would like one for 0 or less (preferably less). I need one that’s fast and doesn’t have the tendency to overheat. Need a lot of battery life, of course. I will be using it mostly for photo editing. I will also use it for video editing and music stuff like iTunes and such. What is the best brand and model at a fairly cheap price? Dell, HP, Toshiba?

My laptop keeps crash dumping and I keep getting calls from a technician in India who wants to fix my computer. I am suspicious of this. Is he crash dumping my computer to get the business? And how can I stop him/it if so?

The first one I bought in 1997 from a mail order vendor was a great machine, but when I wanted to upgrade they had gone out of business. Machines were too good! I searched and found another vendor and had the computer shipped in. That was about 6 years ago and it is still not out of date – I have a faster processor than many sold today! I bought ahead of the curve at a great price. However, I need a new laptop and checking around for both that and my next desk top, most of those custom vendors no longer exist – and when the time comes I really do not want a computer that has as many repair issues as seems to be the case for most consumers that buy pre-made systems.

Hi I am looking for a laptop for a nursing student in addition to my business. I do taxes and bookkeeping. I will be using the computer 90% of the time. I need alot of memory and it must be fast. What type of specs should I look for..

My work computer is operating with Windows XP (business) and am purchasing a laptop so I can work while away from the office. All the new laptops are Windows Vista. Will this work or does it have to be Vista to Vista? My office comp is upgradable to vista if I have to, but I would rather not right now.

I know that with my Home comp (xp home edition) I can only connect to my office (XP Business), not vice versa.

Please help, I am going on vaca in two weeks and need to be up and running by then.

Hi. My husband’s whole business (flies, photos, excel and word docs) are on his laptop. He never backs up to CD. We are worried if something happened to his computer, all would be lost. We don’t know what is the best thing to do. Should we get an external hard drive? Does it matter what kind of laptop it is? And how much memory should we get??? Cost is really not an issue, we just want to do the best thing. Ebay listings would help. Thank you!

I am a little confused on what is going on with HP. I am hearing they are "going out of business" or PC business or whatever. Is this true? What exactly will happen to current PCS, laptops and so on? Will this mean in the future, they can’t have parts replaced, or the computer can’t be fixed?

Ive been interested in getting an HP ENVY laptop from HP for a long time. Now I finally have enough money and i am hearing about this.

Should I NOT purchase this laptop ive waited for? I dont want to buy a laptop that will not be able to be fixed, or have parts replaced. Please, fill me in more on this issue. Contradicting news articles just confused me even more.

I want to send my boyfriend in Iraq a laptop for his birthday…I’ve researched a little on what laptop would fair the best in such conditions (Panasonic toughbook) but it cost somewhere near ,300…now while I don’t mind spending money on a laptop that seems just a wee bit outrageous…
I’m wondering (for guys that have been to Iraq, and had normal laptops) how did your laptop do with the hot conditions and the sand? Also what would you recommend as far as brands? I thought I heard Toshiba had a tough laptop but I’m not finding any info on that….help!?!
Also I heard that you shouldn’t write on the customs form that there is a laptop in your package because ppl steal them out of packages over there…is that true? Because that is horrible!!!

I’m looking for a laptop which I can use for my business studies. It should be able to run Excel, PowerPoint (should have the appropriate media ports for a presentation) and Word really well.
So basically I’ll be doing spreadsheets, reports, presentations and watching videos (youtube) on it so the demands aren’t that high but it needs to do it well and it needs to be a computer which will last long, i.e. it shouldn’t break easily and I want to use it for several years. Obviously the cheaper the better but it still needs to fulfil those demands.
Please name specific laptops so I can compare them. Thank you in advance
