I came across this article in Comnsumer Reports, it helped me out alot with info for selecting a laptop. So I decided to share it with everyone!!

Windows Models:

1. GATEWAY 600 2.4GHz ($1,775)

2. Toshiba Satelite Pro 1.4 GHz ($1,900)

3.IBM ThinkPad A31 1.9 GHz (1,830)

4.Dell Inspiron 5100 2.66 GHz ($1,400)*

5.Compaq Presario 2500 2.66 GHz ($1,400)

6.HP Pavilion ze5300 2.4 GHz ($1,375)

The previous 6 notebooks can be used as desktop replacements. They have all the ports and drives built in. Screens are among the largest, and processors the fastest.

The next 8 are the lightweights, they cut weight by using plug-in drives. Processors are designed for low power usage and maximum battery life. Screens may be small.

7.Gateway 450 1.4 GHz ($1,600)

8.Dell Inspiron 600m 1.4 GHz ($1,420)

9.IBM Thinkpad X31 1.4 GHz ($2,170)

13.Sony Vaio PCG V505A 2.4 GHz ($2,080)

14.Toshiba Portege 3505 1.33 GHz ($2,300)

If anyone needs anymore info about the above laptops or a tablet PC, just let me know I still have the rest of the article.

New laptops are great but most people overspend when it comes to what they really need a laptop for. Paying anywhere from $1000-$2500 for a machine that turns into a word processor and internet browser. I'm a nursing student but I also used to sell used IBM notebooks. I have 2 left, down from 76 a few month ago and am selling them for $350. Great machine from a great company. If anyone is interested I have all the details on one of my websites http://www.capeacademy.com/specials.htm. Everyone loves them and they're great for students without much to spend, but like I said I only have 2 left and don't plan to get any more since I'm starting an accelerated BSN in March.
