I am interested in buying a new laptop; anyone got any suggestions on a good, fast, and cheap one? I would love a MacBook, but unfortunately it is not a good price for me ;) Any suggestions?..

Check them out, I'd rock them

I just got this one - http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/Toshiba-Satellite-U405-S2856-13-3-Widescreen-Laptop-U405S2856/sem/rpsm/context/99001555/oid/215102/catOid/-12961/rpem/ccd/productDetail.do

I love it (Awesome processor, good RAM, OK HDD), but the GFX card bites (Along with just 2 USB ports, even though it says 3), so if you want to game with it it might not be a great choice.

EDIT: It's also a 13.3 inch and really light ;)

EDIT2: The first one Buckley posted seems really nice too, maybe a bit big.

My dad has that one, I hate it…

Mhm Buckley, the Acer looks nice, but very bulky, and it is still kind of "meh" with the price :/ And good <500 dollar laptops?

The exact same one? What's so bad about it? Sure I've only had it for a day but it's been flawless (except for graphics -_-) so far.

EDIT: Did you mean mine or the other one?

Yea, yours. Except his isnt a duo. Just a centrino instead of centrino duo

Hy71194, I just bought a really good deal laptop, an amazing deal i think. Its an acer. It was 400 dollars.

Dont rush out and buy any laptop thats cheap. Check out slickdeals.net every day and they have really good deals on laptops every now and then. Go to bestbuy.com laptops- internet and email. And its the 399.99 one.. Should be the first one is what i have, and i love it.

Tell the model number please? :p

Yeah, and something else, I'd prefer a laptop with a 'nipple' thing. Ya know, the thing between the G, B, and H keys? :p

like the mouse thingy? i think lenovos mostly have those… i don't like how they look…kinda makes them look old and outdated.

They dont make laptops with that any more, do they? I thought all that available (New ones) had the pad.

Alright, sorry man :)

I like the little mouse nipple :( It is a lot more quick and accurate than the pad in my opinion :( I found this lappy though, looks like a nice deal?.. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834115543 No nipple mouse though :(

The biggest problem (from my point of view) is that you are buying a LAPTOP… go out there and buy a desktop. They are a lot harder to brake on accident, they are more reliable, better price for better equipment, and they last longer. ^^ If you aren't convinced then… well… well, then you are just a hopeless case from my point of view xP

Wtf is the "nipple" you are all talking about? I honestly don't know (not a fan of laptops)

That's it, [-jesus-], the little red thing.

hey i got that same laptop a couple days ago, its awesome :) mine has 3 usb, and it has a really good graphics card?

If you hurry and nag before it's (holiday season) over get ALIENWARE lol..then again prbly out of ur pricerange, but they offer fair (in my opinion) financial aid, so if u got a job, which im assuming you do, you could pay it off.. before you get interest…

So you don't have the Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 4500MHD? Or is that good (I'm a computer noob :))?

Alien ware sucks. There over piced regular computers with cool cases.

Agreed. I was looking at alienwares a few days ago for the hell of it, and one of them was more than twice the amount I just paid for my computer, and nothing in it was as good as what I put in mine. Plus my case is cooler :p

I don't understand why anyone would buy one.
