<p>I've been searching a lot on the web to find the best deals on laptops and so far the best one I got was for the Dell Inspiron 1150 for about 1 G. Is now the right time to buy a laptop for college or should I wait?</p>
<p>If you were to wait, could you save up more money for the purchase? If so, then save up and buy later. If you want this computer to last 4 years, you need to invest more into it.</p>
<p>i know, I'm not going to use it till college starts</p>
<p>Wait as much as you can. Technology moves wicked fast so prolonging your purchase means at least one of two things: first, you will be able to get better hardware, and/or, second, you will be able to get the hardware for cheaper.</p>
<p>ditto welshie's advice.</p>
