I will be attending college next year and my parents are going to buy me a laptop what do I want should I go with a Dell or an acer Netbook or just a regular everyday laptop

I am thinking an acer laptop They seem to be good computers for the price and they are pretty reliable to
 
Dell's warranty is awesome but their computers are usually overpriced. Acer is a good choice and backed by a very good company (ASUS) I really think once it's time to choose, just look at the options you have and get the best performing for least amount of money laptop you can buy. Either company you go with, you will be satisfied with so let the parts speak for themselves.
 
Ok yeah that is what I was thinking but wasnt totally sure and I can actually get more laptop for the price with Acer than I can dell (such as ram and hard drive space)
 
I would get the acer because like you said, you get more laptop for the price. However i do have a good story from dell. I bought a dell xps m1210 a few years ago for around $1500 directly from dell and thought that was a good deal at the time. It was for my brother who planned to study abroad at the time. Unfortunately they paired windows vista with 1gb ram and a 80gb hdd...

Now that i think back on it i could've gotten much better. The great thing is the laptop is still up and running with it's original installation of windows vista. It became incredibly sluggish until recently (finally) i upgraded it to 2.5gb ram. I have to say.. that is a quality laptop and was well worth the money even though i might've found a stronger laptop with something else.

EDIT: i just noticed that you were choosing between netbook or laptop. Well it depends what you will be doing. I think a regular laptop would be plenty good for a college student. However a netbook could be useful if all your going to be doing is typing, web browsing. And maybe if you want to sit somewhere on your netbook watching a movie, web browsing, etc for hours without the charger.

Yeah I forgot about the notebook section but my budget will be any thing less than $1000 because my parents are buying but letting me choose what I want so of course at this point they will not give me a specific budget
 
ok yeah I may do some gaming but more I want one that I can do all my online classes with but I will keep this one in mind
