Im going to buy a laptop before September but Im really confused which one to buy, I never had a laptop before and so I have no idea which to buy, I will be starting my study next month as computer programing, I also like gaming, not much though. Doesnt matter the price, I need something good.
so any ideas would be appreciated.

ThanksIt really depends on what you're going to do with that laptop....
Are you going to use it for games or as a home computer or just something for writing word documents?

For example, for a gaming laptop, you will need a pretty good monitor and cooling system, a lot of RAM and HD space, dual core +2 GHz processor...

For a computer used for surfing the net and word processing, you won't need as much RAM, HD space, thus saving a lot of money.I would like to use it for all that you mentioned, I'm moving to a small apartment and so I dont want to have a laptop and a desktop, so which one would you recommend?

Thanks for replyingGet a desktop if you don't need the mobility.
They're cheaper, easier to maintain and upgrade, more resilient, and less likely to go wrong.
My advice as a general guide is a large HDD (say 160Gb or more), a Core 2 Duo CPU, at least 1Gb of RAM, a GeForce 7600 class card or better, a nice monitor (say 19"), a good MOUSE and mousepad, and also a good keyboard (never underestimate the importance of these). Finally, get a DVDRW drive, or two, and any other EXTRAS you may want.
Most manufacturers will offer a PC close to this specification if you shop around and customize, or you can build your own.
Hope this helps.I need to buy a laptop... so which one do you think is the best? for everything useWithout some budget #'s here we could be recommending 60 or 70 machines...

Let's start there to try and narrow it down somewhat.Ummm... I can spend up to $ 2000 on thisWhat currency is the $2,000.00 in?

2,000 is sure a lot different from "... Doesn't matter the price, ..."OH MY GOD... I feel so frustrated on this forum, why is it so hard to just tell which laptop is the best to buy, you guys keep on looming around.. how lame!!!!!!!!I don't know what 'looming' is but I don't think it sounds nice.........

As you said in your third post, you wanted to use your laptop as normal computer like a desktop computer.
Get what Calum suggested, except in laptop form...

Good HD space, good graphic card, good amount of RAM...

Desktop computer would be cheaper, and have a better cooling system if you're going to use it a lot.Okay buy this----->Click-Me-BuyThis


Take the rest of the money and get a good desktop gaming
computer.

Sure glad I only went to the 8th grade....LOL

By the way the laptop want take up any ROOM anyway so....COL!

The only lame person on this forum is PeckerWood.
He is a really dumba$$ed woodpecker.Tronic, first you said you would get either a desktop or laptop, and you had no fixed budget.
Now you want a laptop for $2000 or less - I still strongly advise buying a desktop instead.
If you GAVE us some more info, like what currency this $2000 would be in, it would be very helpful.
It's impossible to tell you what laptop is "best" without a budget - otherwise there are literally thousands of possible configurations available that will suit your needs and we could recommend all of them, except they would range from around $800 to $10000.
If you would co-operate, it would be a lot easier. This could have been SOLVED four days ago if you had answered our questions.

And about your attitude . . . calling people trying to help lame will not help anybody at all - if you don't like this forum, feel free to go somewhere else, I'm sure you'll get a good reception with your understanding and helpful attitude.In addition to what Calum just said...

You're welcome...
