I am starting college in a couple months and I need to buy a new laptop computer; however, I am not sure which is the best to buy. I will need it to write reports and work on projects. I also plan to take a lot of multimedia and film studies classes that will require me to make and burn my own DVD’s so it needs to be able to do that. I currently have a sony vaio but i need a better one for college. Please help, Thanks!

The software I will be using is:

* Adobe InDesign CS4
* Adobe Photoshop CS4
* Adobe Illustrator CS4
* Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro
*AutoCAD 2010

Needs:
-Laptop (PC preferably because Apples are so expensive)
- A really good graphics card
- Multiple programs open at the same time with no lag

At best buy I was recommended this computer: http://tiny.cc/vwdv6

…A Sony Vaio CW Series Notebook PC with 4GB RAM, 500GB HDD, CD/DVD playback/burning, NVIDIA® graphics (256MB VRAM)

I don’t know if it this notebook is overkill or if I can find a comparable computer for less. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

I have a Sony Vaio laptop, and desktop computer. However, it’s going on 3 years and my desktop is about to die. I’ve heard they only make desktop computers to last about 3 years. So i’m just wondering is there a brand someone would recommend? Dell, another Vaio. I would be interested in purchasing a MAC..but my mother will be using it and I don’t know if she’ll be able to make the transition from PC to MAC.

Ok so I just put Vista Business on my laptop because my college said that I need it (god only knows why). When I finished the upgrade, however, I found that my laptop will no longer connect to my wireless network, and it deleted 2 papers that I need for college in 2 weeks. I want to remove the Vista Business and restore my laptop to how it was when I bought it. Is this something I can do myself or do I need to take it to a specialist. Note: I have the restoration discs from when I first got the computer, and the people at the circuit city that I bought it from told me that if my comp ever crashed or something then those discs would restore it to how it was when I first bought it. Thanks
I forgot to mention that the picture on the screen of my laptop only takes up about half of the screen itself instead of the whole thing. It didn’t do this until vista business was thrown into the equation. It’s a SONY VAIO in case that’s important
I upgraded from Vista Home to Vista Business…if you can even call it an upgrade

I’m majoring in business admin. and deciding whether to get a laptop or netbook for the coming school year.

I want a netbook for its ultra-portability, small size, and easy computing however my current sony vaio laptop’s specs are a bit outdated (running 1GB ram and 80 GB HDD 1.6GHz). The battery is dead so I have to constantly keep it plugged in (on battery lasts only 10 minutes!) and the DVD/RW optical drive doesn’t work. I have to always rely on my slower desktop pc to burn/copy/rip data off of discs, which is TIME CONSUMING!

Mainly i’ll be using the "new" computer for typing notes, using Office constantly, browsing. Netbooks sounds perfect but I also feel like replacing my current laptop.

This HP G62 is the laptop i was thinking of purchasing

WHICH ONE?!

I’ve seen several quality products inclusing a sony Vaio, and gateway. Is there something better out there??

i have an old dell computer that i havent used in a couple of years, as i had a sony vaio laptop. now my laptop has broken, and mky old computer is as slow as hell.

so i’m thinking i’ll upgrade it.

I have a very basic background – i used to build computers, but that was back in the mid-late 90′s, so things have changed quite a bit!

It’s a dell dimension 1100 (spec in the link: http://www0.dealtime.com/xPF-Dell-Dell-Dimension-1100-Desktop-Computer-for-Business-DIM11P4MIN)

i’m thinking that the minimum i need to upgrade is the RAM, processor, and hard drive. as far as i can see, 2GB RAM is the highest this machine can cope with. but if u replace the motherboard, can you then go for 4GB?

so basically i need to know:

do i need to upgrade the motherboard? if so, what will fit/be compatible?

what processor should i get (based on either my current motherboard, or the upgrade you suggest)

what RAM is compatible with my current system/how to upgrade so i can use more RAM

what hard drives are compatible/what should i look for (i’m thinking 1TB)

anything i’m missing?

i don’t really use the computer for games that much, so i don’t need a top of the range graphics card, but if there is a cheap upgrade i can get, i’ll get that too

thanks for your help!!

What is the best computer/laptop considering by brands in order from best to worst?

MacBook?
Tosiba?
Sony Vaio?
HP?
Compaq?
Gateway (Heard it was the worst…)?
And more…?

Please let me know…I am asking about overall lasting of the items and functioning. Most reliable from the manufacturer in order from best to worst. Thanks

I will be going to college this fall and will study Computer Science and Business Management. I am trying to decide which laptop I want to get. Price isn’t really a huge issue but I really don’t want a Dell and I can’t get a Mac because of college preferences. I am currently considering either a Sony Vaio ( E Series or F Series) or an HP (dv6t or dv7t). If anyone has any info on these 4 laptops or comments that might help me I would really appreciate it.

I’m in the process of saving for one. I’ve had my eyes on a Sony Vaio. I’d like one that has a 200GB Hard Drive and possibly 2GB of memory. I have a price range of 0 to 0 dollars. Please help!
