What is the best laptop to get for the best price?

Q. I am a college student looking for a laptop with good wireless internet connection and a decent battery life. I would mainly use the laptop for Internet and Word documents. I want a reasonable price and don't really need that many bells and whistles.

A. There is really no BEST laptop brand from ANY company as these manufacturers all have produced "Gold" and "Lemons" in their time.

Most answers will tell you to buy "THIS" or "THAT" brand because it is the best, just remember that it is the best for THEM not for you.

Most people will tell you of a best "brand" but their actual answer is based on the MODEL they have not the entire brand and you should not judge a company by ONE model as they make hundreds of them.


This being said, here is how to do more precise research to find the best one for YOU:

The first step is to get information on the laptops that you are interested in and, as a second step, to search online at web stores (like Amazon or similar) or at retail shops (BestBuy, staples or similar) for the best deals on the ones you would really like to have based on your search.

This way, you get the best working laptops at the best prices.


As laptop specs change often, it is good to get non-vendor/non-partisan/non-groupie information so you should do some checking on these review/guide sites to help fine tune your search.

At each site, start by checking models and then compare them with others (or against each other) by choosing different options using boxes and drop down menus to customize the search and get what you want in your laptop ( there is even a way on some of those sites to look by inputting the price you are willing to pay to minimize the impact on your wallet ).

Your time will not be wasted (after all, you get all this from the comfort of your home) and you should find something to your liking and budget.

Good luck on your research.


P.S.: By the way, I own a Dell ;) but it's an older model (2002) on the way out soon (to be replaced by a still unknown brand as I will be doing research).

What is the best laptop for photographers?
Q. My brother is a professional photographer. I intend to give him a laptop that he can use for his work. He also does a lot of video editing. No necessary price limit.If you could please suggest one from mac and one thats a PC. Thanks!

Additional Info:
My brother has an Adobe suite software. Im not really sure what its called but that's the one he uses for photo and video editing.

A. It really doesn't matter, but a lot of people say a mac book, I would suggest a laptop with a big screen, maybe a 17" and one that has a blu ray player.

this one is good

What is the best laptop recording solution?
Q. I am trying to get good-quality recording into my laptop from my Yamaha S-90 synth. The problem with onboard sound is that the connectors produce enormous amounts of static, because they aren't shielded very well. I would like some high-fidelity recordings, though (only one-track at a time required). Thanks.

A. You can use a program like Audacity http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ to record unto your laptop.

I use this, what i do is I just get a line level signal going into my mic jack ( I don't have a line in on my laptop but it should work too if you do) and then I just select the source in Audacity to mic input and the recordings are very good with no static problems at all.

All my recording is done from a box mixer with live mics plugged in so I'm sure if it is different in your situation and how this will work for you but I hope it helps.
