I want to buy a laptop for my daughter who is just starting college. What is the best kind for under $1000?
Answers:
You must spend your money for the best brand.
As I know HP and Dell are the best in laptops for a long time and they are very reliable too. I trusted HP and I bought a HP laptop 2 years before, and still like the day I bought it. Didn't even have to service it at least once up to now.
I recommend you to buy a HP (with experience) or Dell laptop.
On www.hp.com you can even customize your laptop. And also you can check the price.
Gotta get a Dell! You can get a decent laptop for around $700
but definitely shop around for a good deal ok! Good luck!
PC prices have became quite reasonable over the last year, and catching a good sale will make it downright cheap.
Looking through the Sunday ads, this is easily the best for the money at $449 (after rebate)

It has:
AMD Dual-core CPU (2 processors in one)
1gb of RAM
DVD / CD burner
80gb hard drive
wireless internet
This one from Office Depot is also a steal at $479 after rebate, with all the same features, just using an Intel CPU instead of the AMD:

Honestly, spending $7,8, or even $900 simply gets you a 120gb hard drive 2gb of RAM (with a SLIGHTLY fast clocked CPU).
And as you can see:

Upping the 1gb of RAM to 2gb is only $38.
And 80gb's of hard drive space is enough for pretty much everything someone would do on a laptop. Now if she's a movie pirate or something, she might want some more space lol.
If you have any questions let me know.
You should get a Toshiba laptop for under $1,000.
