Business students don’t (in theory) need fancy graphics. I would suggest Dell- “Small business” section. The Vostro series is nice.

You can pay a premium for a lightweight, or for very large. 14 to 15 inch machines are the best compromise. I have a Vostro 1510 myself.

By cutting back on graphics requirements, you can splash you budget where it counts – CPU, disk drive, and memory (RAM). AMD and intel are competitors, if you cut throughg the B/S they are very similar, with Intel currently a bit cheaper.

Memory- don’t bother with more than 3GB of RAM. It’s got to do with 32-bit operating systems- but all you care about is that memory above 3GB can’t be accessed so it’s a waste of your money. Put the cash toward a better CPU or a bigger disk drive. Alan

Go For A Dell Or A Hp Really, I Have Had One Of Both, I Generally Prefer The Dell As It Is Faster And More Reliable, It Autosaves Any Work If Your About To Lose Battery So That’s A Good Thing.
And The Battery Lasts For Around 2-3 Hours Which Is Good For Doing Work Without Sitting Indoors Next To The Plug Socket HaHa!

Oh Bdw This Laptop is The dell Inspiron 1720 And It Has A 17″ Screen With Built In Webcam =) And it Only Costs £399 On Special Offer. The Memory Is 2GB (Thats Alot Of Memory For That Price) And Also Has A Pretty Big Hard Drive! Alice S

Dell’s business stuff (small business section for cheaper stuff), HP’s business, Lenovo.

No real difference from regular laptops except these usually are more durable due to their construction, and aren’t as flashy (black is a very common color).

Don’t worry about specs. Find the price you’ll willing to pay, and then conpare. They’ll all do what you want.

Edit: I think Vista Business might have some neat little features, but the $100 upgrade fee is not worth the difference. Stick with Home Premium. JL
