Study purposes, any laptop will do, actually. Unless, of course,
you intend to do 3D modelling/programming, in which case a
middle-high end laptop is required.
I would recommend the Acer Aspire series over Lenovo, unless its
the Lenovo Thinkpad series. Both me and my sis use Acer Laptops,
~14'. Both of us never had a problem with our laptops, and she had
hers for quite a few years. HP is also quite ok, but they overheat
easily, even those using lower-end CPU and integrated graphics.
Gateway laptops are quite stylish, actually, like ASUS, and both
are quite powerful. Both have excellent warranties, but ASUS comes
out above.
Need a netbook? I would recommend at least a 10' screen. My
favourite is the ASUS N10Jc, 1.6GHz Atom , 2GB RAM, 320GB HDD and
9300M GS 256MB graphics in a 10.2' netbook. Vista Home Premium, I
think, as well, or was it Basic?
Another Netbook/Notebook is the HP Pavillion DV2. 12.1' screen,
1.6GHz Athlon Neo, 4GB? of RAM (Need comfirmation), 256/512MB ATi
Radeon HD3410, Vista Home Premium, but again, like all HP laptops,
this gets HOT.
Laptops, I would recommend at least 2GHz, which most pass.
Centrino 2 for Intel, or Turion X2 for AMD. 320GB HDD is
recommended, though 250 GB should suffice in most cases. At LEAST
2GB RAM,but 4GB recommended and Vista 64-bit, since Vista is a
memory hog. GPU, not that important, since it is a study notebook,
but again is based on what you do.
Sorry if very long winded, 1 AM very sleepy, and I'm used to
typing like this anyway.
