For the money you will spend

Submitted by JDOGG85 on Mon, 04/21/2008 - 6:50pm.

For the money you will spend on a laptop I think that either HP or Acer is the way to go right now. I've become very interested in Acer since they are one of the top computer names now that they bought out or are buying out Gateway. You will pay a few more $100 bucks for just the sony name, when you can get a "lesser" known brand that will give you the same and probably better experience.

Here are a few that sound really nice for the price:

I'm not suggesting you buy it from best buy because there are usually other cheaper options, but worth a look to find something cheaper. It's your money, but if you spend that much on a laptop now you will be losing money really quickly once you chips and such come out. Plus, if you just need it for work, school, internet, minesweeper then sony might not be the best option.
