Looking to buy a laptop need some help?

I'm looking at buying a laptop computer and i understand the majority of the things i need in it, but am not sure how to tell if it will operate quickly. i really don't want to get stuck with a slow computer and most companies will tell you what you want to hear and not the truth lol. what should i look for speed wise that is reasonable.

how much ram is a decent amount?

processor speed is the biggest thing to look for, anything start at about 2.0 ghz is pretty good.

if you are running windows xp on your desktop right now, you can go to start and right click on my computer and then go to properties to see the speed of your processor that you are running now

if you are going to get a computer with vista on it i would recomend getting about 2 gigs of ram


hope this helps

Probably a dual core processor with some decent ram.

lenovo computer desktop

Find a Dual Core Processor with 2 Gigabytes of RAM

Go with a Gateway. I bought a new one 2 days ago. Fastest computer i have ever had. You just need three things, 2 GB memory, 160-200 GB hard drive running vista premium and it will be great.

I am a mac person and I love it. but if you know what you want go to your closest electronics store and tell the associate, he will show you the best options for you.

Toshiba
i think it's the best ......... with high speed 2ghrz or more
with high rams and memo with a high cache memory

my soulution is to go to a rent-a-center were i got mine from and its good and all and they let you play wiht it before you buy it or order a dell or a hp hp have harder backs to them they want get scratch as easy but i have a dell and it seems to be holding up for 4 years now so they are good

A good normal amount is 2 gb of ram. Usually in 2 separate sticks. Then you'll want a dual processor. Intel's are usually the best. Try going to dell.com. Usually has the best stuff.
