Need Laptop Suggestions

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
What is your maximum budget?
$700

What country are you in?
USA

What will be the uses of this laptop?
Playing music, school, and basic web browsing.

Do you have brand loyalty or care which brands we select for you?
I love ASUS and Fujitsu, but anything will work besides Dell and Toshiba. I have had horrible luck with those brands.

What screen size do you require?
15" Widescreen

What screen resolution do you require?
Resolution doesn't matter too much, I will not be playing any games or watching movies on this laptop.

Are you looking to buy NEW or would refurbished/recertified/used be okay?
New would be best, but am not against refurb/recert.

How long should the battery last? (Under optimal conditions, no movies/games/heavy internet)
I will always have this laptop plugged in. Just as long as it last more than an hour I will be fine.

What games would you like to play with your laptop? And on what settings?
None

What operating system do you need? (if any)
Win 7

Is there a certain style of laptop you want? (aluminum, black, gaming, etc.)
Don't care, but girlfriend would love purple tongue.gif

How much hard drive space do you need?
500+ I will have an external HD so I don't need a crazy ammount.

Do you need any special hardware? (blue ray, webcam, specialty ports, etc.)
No special hardware needed.

Is there anything else we need to know?
My girlfriend will be using this for school and I will be using this to run VirtualDJ for partys. Just need to be able to handle Microsoft Office and VirtualDJ. Anything more than that will be a plus. I am low on money right now so I am looking for the best buy and hoping I could get some help from here.


Thanks in advance

When will she need this? If she's going to be bringing this around, I would recommend you wait for the new $700 Intel Ultrabooks or possibly $600 or even less AMD Trinity UltraThins. They should be coming out during the summer break and Back-To-School time. I know I'll be buying one for school.
