Can anyone tell me if there are some decent laptops out there for around $700-800? What brand would you recommend?
The reason for dell getting a bashing is because some of there cheaper computers don't work well but Dell's good computers are very good indeed;it's like "Mercedes",there cheap cars can't compare with there exspensive cars,but to make money they've made some cheaper cars. if they hve any in the price range,why not HP? don't forget that a computer is a computer,it works or it doesn't, whether it's first or second hand. http://computers.search.ebay.com/laptop_Laptops-Notebooks_W0QQfromZR34QQsacatZ51148
you can get a nice laptop for the money that you are wanting to spend, i bought a nice dell for $599.00 amd turion64 2.0 igbrm 60gbhd 256video card 15.4 screen wi-fi card, with the price wars going on right now you can get a great deal, just do a google search and go to some sites and take your time, you might try going to bensbargains.com it is a good site for some good deals on all kind's of stuff mostly computor stuff, one thing that you don't want to get sucked into is the extended warenty, good luck
