Laptop: How to choose a good laptop? (cheap laptop)

The first thing to consider when buying a cheap laptop either with or without a budget is: what are you going to use it for? You have to keep in mind your future needs of the machine and remember that the only things you can really upgrade are the hard drive and RAM.For instance, if you are using the cheap laptop for gaming you'll want something with a better video card and a faster processor. Ram is inconsequential at this point, it's always possible to upgrade later (and usually for much cheaper).If you're using the cheap laptop to store music, movies and pictures look for a cheap laptop that has a large drive off the bat. Something in the 250GB-320GB range. If you're considering a cheap laptop for mobile entertainment (again, movies and music but on the go) consider a cheap laptop with a larger screen (15.4 vs. 13.3) and a larger drive. You may also want to consider the weight of the system.If you're only going to use the machine for everyday items like using the internet, emails, word processing etc. Then you can choose any cheap laptop from almost any category and be safe. Also, you may want to keep in mind the length of time you plan on having the cheap laptop for vs. what you will be doing with it for that time. Because the technology word is ever upgrading you may want to spend the few extra bucks and get a machine with a better processor or video card (if you can). It will help you stay on the current edge a little longer.And, if I could offer one suggestion for a laptop (not knowing your budget is the hardest part but I will offer this anyway).The Dell Studio Series. The 15 inch has great specs and upgrade options and the 17" was given very good ratings for it's class and size. They are both also under $1000
