buyinga laptop

[||§§||trubin]

My sister asked me to find out about laptops, since she is planing to buy one before she starts law school, her and her boyfriend were thinking about "ThinkPad T61 15.4" widescreen with integrated graphics and Mobile Broadband"
she told me it came out to 1600$

Don't worry about name brand to much and you can get a lot more for the same price.
The better brands might be a little more reliable but I'm not sure it is enough to charge hundreds more for the same thing.

Brands to look at:
Starting at lower cost moving up to higher cost but better companies.

Acer, HP, Gateway, Dell, IBM, Sony

There are smaller companies that make some really great and really crappy laptops but I would stick the the big boys.
