Posted by Essie at 11:27am Aug 25 '05I'm in a bit of a tricky family situation, and I absolutely must get my father to buy me a laptop in the next two weeks, or I won't get one for college (and I go next year.) I would love to wait, and save money and all that jazz, but it just can't happen.
Sooooo, since the time constraint is keeping me from doing a great deal of research, I need your help. What are the basics that I need in a computer that will accomodate me and my needs for the next few years.
I spend a lot of time on Messengers, surfing the web, editing and storing pictures, playing music, and doing office type things. I need to be able to put it on a wireless network and... it needs to have room for my interests and needs to grow.
What processors are good? memory? storage space?
Any advice would be so helpful, since I've never purchased a notebook pc before, and am very much out of my element.
