Right, Laptop or small computer don't really matter to us.

Most laptops and small computers are around 35-80watts

Most desktops are around 200-400 watts.

and 600-1,500 watts for gaming PC, mine is 700 watts.

I told my dad not to buy Emachines computer. It had too many problems. Yes, he had it before. I bought an IBM computer in 2001. It is still running well despite 3.5 floppy disk system is slightly defective. Next computer purchase is a custom made PC computer tower soon.

Near the future, I will get a Macbook Pro laptop. Either 13" or 15.4"

I still own Acer and Dell with Windows XP netbooks. I wish I should not bought a Dell netbook.

Great! I love 13" MacBook Pro. its is lighter weigh and long battery hour than PC notebook. Enough size that could read clearly. My Old PC notebooks are too heavy and short battery hours. I hope you buy Macbook Pro. I may buy 2nd iPad which includes front-facing cam and retina display next year.
 
I have 3 laptops (for different isolated task's )
my old workhorse is a dell d800 2 gig ram 2.4 gig processor
it still has the original battery working at 99% efficiency.
(I take good care of it ) running pclinuxos kde

an hp media pc laptop for forensic work, and a tough book for slc programming.

used to have a macbook but I gave it to a deaf friend for school and she is still using it.
 
HI there,

I have Sony Vaio, it's been since 2002;

2003: Sony Repaired on my lappy; Cleaned, replaced a fan and coolant fins.
2004: Same thing again.
2005: Hitachi Hard drive dead, and bought new Toshiba Hard Drive and installed new Ubuntu Linux.
2009: Battery dead and pulled out. Lappy still good with AC powered on and running fine.

Right now it's still alive.. You know the toshiba hard drive still good but my local puter shop doesn't sell toshiba hard drive anymore.
 
Hey there guys,
Many thanks for your experiences and opinions. I have learned a thing or two about what I should get in a computer.

Apple computer sounds nice but it's more expensive like $1500 to $2500 down here.

So I'll keep an eye out for an reasonable priced Toshiba laptop. Will let you know how it went once I manage to buy it.
 
I've just bought a Samsung P580-JS01 because it's the only one I can find without a stupid glossy screen. I like to have the windows open in the summer and a glossy screen turns into a mirror in anything but dim light. It has good specs and built-in camera for video chats. :)

I have started looking around for a new laptop to invest in since my laptop's old now and we don't want a PC anymore because it takes up space.

I want a Purple Laptop and my mother would like a Pink one :giggle:

I'm considering Toshiba, Sony Vaio or Dell.

Not sure how many Ram or memory on Hard Drive I should look for.

Is 2.26GHz any good?

I should get a laptop with webcam, bluetooth or wireless component, no?

What on the earth is Optical drive?

Which brands of computer do you like the best and why?

:ty: in advance

Acer laptops and netbooks are also worth considering but as a professional, I preffer Asus :) Netbooks are cheaper but, sometimes its all that a person needs. They are lighter and smaller and can fit in some pocket books. They come with webcams, bluetooth and wireless network.

Memory size and hard drive size really depend on what your going to use it for, too much is over kill and a waste of money. 2gb should be the minimum, 4gb recommended, if you will be doing video editing or picture editing then you should consider more, memory is cheap nowadays.

Harddrive size also depends on what your going to use it for. If it's used for everyday browsing and document editing then 160gb drive is okay. For video and picture editing-minumum should be 500gb, I recommend at least 300GB.

2.26 ghz is around what you would get for a netbook, for a notebook I would try a minimum of 2.66 ghz.
An optical drive is a CD, DVD, or Blueray player. The reason the call it an optical drive is because there are som many varieties to choose from. If you can afford it, i would choose a blueray player and burner. If not, just a blueray player will be fine (it will play CDs and DVDs as well).

Keep in mind the more hardrive, memory, and accesseories, the shorter the battery life will be. Battery life should be at least 90 minutes for a 6 cell battery and 2.5 to 3 hours for a 12 cell battery (try and get one with a 12 cell bettery ) Don't go expensive because the average life of a laptop is 3 years, and they become outdated in 1.5 years or less.

I also use Tigerdirect.com for my purchases, they have been great for me so far.

Good luck and happy shopping :)
 
cost is very expensive really expensive! that is cost!

Which is why I said 13" wide or less if the plan is to carry it around a lot.

Yeah.

I've seen some people who have HUGE laptops. They go around showing it off saying, "Hey, look! I've got a nice laptop with a HUGE widescreen display!" Poor guy's legs went numb from leaving his laptop on his lap too long! ;)
 
Oh man someone spoke nonsense " I may drop my laptop". Oh pluze! why would I? I sold some excellent condition laptops without damage. becuz I am very expensive & vaule person.
