<p>Budget: $1000 -
Major: Biology
Use: School work, general use, some PC gaming</p>
<p>I need a strong reliable laptop, but I don't know where to begin. I'm most comfortable with the PC, and have stayed with HP for the last 2 computers.</p>
<p>I'm thinking of going to Best Buy to check out their deals. What would you guys recommend? o:</p>
<p>Best Buy usually rips you off. Take a look at the other threads. You’ll notice that everyone has been asking the same questions.</p>
<p>Personally, I recommend you start by looking at business-grade laptops like Dell Latitude, Lenovo Thinkpad, HP Elitebook, and some of the better-built Asus. The amount of wear and tear that the laptop will go thru in a college environment is actually <em>more</em> than that of your typical business user and 100s of times more than that of your typical home user.</p>
<p>Can you give us an example of what games you’re going to play? It’ll help us better gauge your graphics requirements.</p>
<p>usually the best deals come from internet retailers like Newegg, Tiger Direct, and Ebay.</p>
<p>You should also see the laptop in person before buying it. So go to BB, staples, and walmart.</p>
<p>what are your preferences on weight, power, and battery life too?</p>
<p>Get the HP Envy 14. Best PC laptop I ever owned.</p>
