What should I look for in a laptop?
What kind of battery should I get? How many?
What brands are good?
I'm not really a comp expert.
thanks all.

Are you using one now?128shot said:Dual core is the way to go.

They're both nice. I thought the AMD could handle heavier loads though. Cause we were gaming and his did lag at all and my lagged slightly with everything running the backround.

Intel makes pentiums, thats why they are called intel pentium 4 processors no?
I like to watch DVDs, burn CDs, and use the internet, thats about it anymore..

If you are on a budget, you might consider a refurbished model. The T21 I just bought will burn CDs, play DVDs (15.1" screen) and has the horsepower to do anything except video intensive games. Why pay for power you don't need? Also, if you carry around a laptop a lot, another consideration is weight, an 8 lb laptop adds a lot more to a shoulder bag than a 5 lb one (like the T21) does. Finally, if I lose or break my $385 laptop, I am a lot less upset than if I lose or break a $1500 one.
If you want more info email send me a PM and I'll be happy to give you more details.

I have never losed a laptop (knock on wood):lol: . If you want to burn cd's or dvd's you will need to have power if you want the burning and downloading process to go expediately. You can burn a cd or dvd on a shabby processor, sure. But will you do it quickly and thoroughy thats the question.
