1. what are accurate laptop brands? 2. what impt specs should i look for? 3. any tips?

Answer:

I've owned Sony, Toshiba, HP, Compaq, and Dell.

Sony and HP are more luxurios surrounded by my opinion, Toshiba have the fingerprint securty access, that's really cool you can access all of your e-mails and accounts beside it.

Sony's are beautiful and so are HP's. Dell's are more similar to an everyday notebook, looks aren't that great, service is good, but they recurrently fail.



As for specs run for a dual processor; Duo 2 or AMD Turion. AMD has have better results on tests. Get at lowest 160GB, anything less than that will be in motion by real hurried, get 2GB of RAM so that you can latter expand it to 4GB. You will need a DVD Burner, it's a must enjoy nowadays.



Widescreens are pretty tidy you can enjoy everything and it's really amazing.



Other than that I'd enunciate pick the one you like most.
Toshiba or Dell are my top two/ Depending on what you intend to use the laptop for, the specs could differ. If you intend to use it for programs, work, Internet, ect., you want to find a bigger better processor, and if you buy one with Vista installed, hopefully you dont, but if you do, you should take at LEAST 1GB of ram, preferably 2GB. Other than that, they pretty capably come with everything else you would requirement, example, dvd rom, cd burner, wireless adapter built in, ati or nvidia video card contained by most cases. Best of luck with your verdict.
You should get a Toshiba Satellite M65-S9092 from Best Buy resembling I did.
