Buying New Laptop need help please

by Pacthunderx Dec 16, 2009 12:21PM PST

Hello i want to buy a laptop but im not very good with
all the computer stuff. So i was wondering if someone can
please help me. i live in Canada.
i will use the laptop for mainly surfing the web
but i use my desktop that i have now for Photoshop
and media uses as well. im told a mac would be good for that
but i prefer windows also because i use media programs sometimes
not often. I also use it for music and sometimes messengers and
social working. we use online gaming usually as well.
i guess we are looking for a all around computer but im not sure
if we go to the store what kind of computer we should get
and what kind of things the laptop should have. i have been told
to buy one that has atleast 2 ghz and more 2gb ram.
but we want one that isnt to much money also maybe max 1500 bucks.
or around there so can anyone please someone help me thank you.

You can get a pretty powerfull laptop

for 1500. There are very many options out there for you. I would go to Best Buy and window shop and then research for best pricing. Also look at Newegg. Newegg has a great customer rating and comment section for every laptop they sell.
