suggesttions for a new laptop

[taj'samericanwife 0]

hi everyone, my computer crashed on me. i am so pissed...all my files are gone including our chat logs, my personal lists, esp the ones i made for our I 130 journey =( ...and it would probably cost 200$ to have to fixed. i guess its better for me to get a laptop instead...my budget is between 400 - 500$, i dont want an acer...maybe a compaq, dell or toshiba? can anyone help me?

i use it mainly for:

email, checking status of our case, chatting with hubby (already have webcam and mic), and i need to reinstall my review cds again for my exam, and i probably will lay off the downloading of music online for now, that might have caused it to crash!

please help

I am not quite familiar with dell but I learned from my former colleague who is knowledgable with computers that apple, hp and compaq (under HP brand) notebooks are good. The inside features of the notebook matter most.

If you are fond of downloading stuffs from internet, you should have quality and updated software and protection for some viruses, worms, spyware and other stuffs that may damage your files and hard drive of your pc.

hi,..

this may help..since you said you just like a computer which will serve you for chatting, e-mail, webcam, mic.. mp3's or i-tunes download..and downloading from cd's.... and you have a budget of $400-500.... simple... get a DELL inspiron Mini laptop...this, you can custumize meaning adding additinal memory to your pc.. you might want to get the simple Windows XP since Ubuntu is for developers and programmmers.....Mini's are in nowadays especially for women..you can just bring it everywhere you go especially when you are a tech savvvvvyyy...like me..

This has great specks... I trully recommenD THIS..

take it from a WOMAN ENGINEER.........me..

sorry but to tell you this but cd's are (outdated) faceoff nowadays,,.you can actually download everything online.... to review for your NCLEX.. asks for website where you can download the tutorials you can review for..you can actually purchase this online..

To keep your computer from crashing..make sure you got anti-virus protection on like AVG or MCAfee.

and it is always good to have a back up-memory like a Storage SDHC Flashmemory card.. that way when you need to change your OS or reformat.. you got everything stored.... or to make it simple..have a simple USB (Universal Serial Hub) that you can connect to your USB port...

Hope that helps...

I heard that circuit city is closing out so, if you are trying to save money. they are on sale.... circuit city almost has the same things that best buy has..

doesn't really matter what type of computer you have..I mean I can have a simple desktop with 512MB only..hehehe..

It depends,..as long as you know how to use it... I have a TOSHIBA with a 3GB memory..it's not an apple or MAC but it is running on UBUNTU...heheheh.. I am satisfied with that..I am planning on upgrading it though when I have the budget for it.. Ask me anything...hehehehe...

Get a netbook. If you're only doing basic stuff like email and office stuff - you don't need to spend more than $350.

I just got an eee 1000HE, well worth it.

Dell PCs are OK but tend to be a bit overpriced, from what I've seen.

Went to Circuit City a few times (the ones around where we live are all closed now) but didn't think much of their bargains - certainly on appliances.
