New Laptop Suggestions

[run4it]

I need a new laptop for college this coming fall but i'm not too sure on what to get. I have a budget of roughly $800. I'm not planning on doing any gaming or anything that will require a really high performance laptop. If you have any suggestions on what i should get or if you've seen any good deals recently let me know. thanks.

Buy a Mac. Most of the students I know use them. They're twice as fast on startup as any comparable pc-based laptop, they don't get viruses and they're much more reliable.

Twice as expensive for the performance and plus it's a Mac! And the software isn't up to par IMO.

These are nice laptops from toshiba - http://www.toshibadirect.com/td/b2c/cdetland.to?seg=HHO&poid=379367&coid=-33536&fgpn=PSAF0U-05901L

I would select the A200-ST2041 model, and the customize it to add the Core 2 Duo T2450, adding another $80 to the $719 base price.

The laptop above only uses a core duo proccessor, whilst the toshiba features a core 2 duo

What's different though is that Toshiba don't build their laptops, a company called an ODM do. Asus however build theirs themselves. This equates to a better build quality.

No wonder Toshibas fall apart after about 3 months
