I do, however, have a Question or two. I am going into my Senior year of High School and we have a laptop from the mid 90's, one of the old monsters. It can't even dowload iTunes. I really am in need of a decent laptop for schoolwork and for a fairly minimal amount of music and a decent amount of pictures. I'll have to pay for the majority of this computer, so cheap would be helpful. I know nothing on the subject, so PLEASE help me.

Slightly lower or Higher will cost you more.. then followed by Processor Type and Speed.. i am not worry about current RAM and hard disk space..as i can always add in RAM and buy external hard drive.. but you always need to check how many RAM slots is available.. and is there any room for expansion stuff like that.. :) in my opinion: To get cheap laptop computers, you first need to Get a laptop with a standard screen size (about 15.4″).

Hopefully computer manufacturers figure out a way to make a profit considering people buying computers today shouldn't really don't need anything better (at least with the current software requirements)... what they need is to figure out something ridiculous like holographic computer displays that we'd all need major upgrades for. :p I'll sleep better tonight!

These specs had not been updated recently. Infact when I got my wife a new laptop I upgraded to 2GB of RAM before eventaking it home.I've updated the post and given you credit for that.Thanks Totally reasonable points.

I say this because a lot of junk computers by emachines and gateway the 299$ - 399$ will have 512ram. I've seen computers right out of the box that are slow and sluggish with a couple of browser windows open and excel (one example). Looking at the specs the only limiting factor is RAM and after they upgraded it worked perfectly fine. If people don't buy those computers and complain they'll go away.

I agree that those are on the low side of things, butit is still quite possible.I still run 512MB on my primary desktop computer. When not doing extensivemulti-tasking these minimums are still reasonable.That said, personally I would get double those figures when getting a newcomputer. Thanks for your input.

Also, screen size determines weight, and weight is huge when picking a laptop. I'd check out <a href="http://www.bestcomputersetup.com" rel="nofollow">www.bestcomputersetup.com</a>, i think they do a better job w/out having to provide information for another guide?

I will assume that you are not including the cost of the software into that amount. I would recommend something with an Intel Core2 Duo processor, 2GB of memory and a screen of at least 15 inch. The other features will usually be fairly standard. The screen size will make a difference for those graphical applications, and will be quite important, much easier to work with graphics on a bigger screen. I found this one below, that meets the requirements, but has only 1GB of memory, but the extra can be added at time of purchase. Refurbished models also offer quite a bit in terms of specifications, but they're not everybody's first choice. http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id=pODVmEaNj8U&offerid=102327.4230681&type=2&subid=0 Jill,
