I have given my opinions and recommended some great systems he http://www.pc-how-to.com/hardware/newlaptop.htm If you say what you are going to use it for then it would be easier to make a recommendation. If you are going to do video editing you might want one with a larger hard drive but that would boost the price. If you are not going to save large files on it then you could get one with say an 80 gig drive. Also whether you will burn DVD's or CDs makes a difference in how much you need to spend. You should also pay attention to the ports how many USB ports will you need or other types of connecting outlets. Everything is determined by what you plan to use it for If you are likely to give it rough treatment there are laptops that are built for more rugged use.
