I need a decent laptop computer. Any suggestion?

[frorider6]

Basically, I just need it for word processing type shit, but I don't want to be too limited by buying a piece of crap. And keep the price range low.

What should I look for? What features do I HAVE TO HAVE in a laptop?

Also, if I get a DVD player in it, what type of connections do I need on the back to be able to route it to a TV? What does the TV have to have?

You will need some type of S-vidoe adapter, most labtops don't come with those, but TVs do.

Honestly if you don't know alot about computers, call up Dell (they are cheap and make a decent product) tell them what you want, they will actually piece together your personal labtop. They offer great service, and a good price. You could always go to a place like Best Buy, they are good too, but they may not have what you want, nor can they piece together something for your individual needs.

Well, it's mostly for word processing. College work type stuff. But a DVD player would be nice for those down times. Bare basics are 10 gig drive, 750 MHz processor, 6x cd-rom drive and 56k modem. A DVD player would be nice, but not necessary.

Toshibas are the best. I just bought one after MUCH research. I spoke with computer guru's everywhere and got the same answer: Toshiba.

Dell Inspiron 4100. Dell is really good with higher ed also so they might be able to cut you a good deal.
