<p>As a future pre-med student, obviously I'll be going off to college. Most of my time will be spent doing word processing, surfing the web, sending e-mails, burning CDs and DVDs, and maybe making powerpoint presentations. (Not much gaming or video editing) I'm in need of a good laptop that's decently priced. Do you have any suggestions? (Sorry to all you mac lovers, I prefer PC). </p>
<p>Much thanks in advance :-)</p>
<p>umm i don't know what do you mean by "decent" price?? i thought around 1000 dollars..my bet would be Lenovo Thinkpads..check their website out.. Sony Vaios are good, but they gonna be more expensive than the Thinkpads..</p>
<p>Lenovo Thinkpads are popular here at my medical school. They run quietly, balance weight with durability, and are supposedly very reliable. I've only had mine for 2 months, so I can't provide any anecdotes about reliability just yet, but I can definitely verify the first two.</p>
<p>EDIT: <em>shakes tiny fist at sunny750</em></p>
<p>ThinkPads are pretty good. HP Pavilions are really good values.</p>
<p>You forgot to add "studying" to your list of activities in college</p>
<p>Thanks for the advice everyone. And special thanks to JHU for pointing that out.</p>
