Advice for a laptop

Hey guys! So I'm trying to look for a good laptop, but I'm on a tight budget right now. I just want to get the best laptop out of my money which is $700. I'm not really expert when it comes to buying computers.
I prefer 14" screen because I'm going to bring it everyday to school, so portability is really important. I might do a little gaming on it but I'm going to use it mostly for programming.
Here is an HP laptop that I've seen with good reviews. It has an I5 processor which I believe is good, and it also has 6GB of ram. But what about the graphics?

This one is from Samsung's website, it's a little more expensive.

Any other suggestions?

Noooo! Not the pavilon! Dx They NEVER agree with Linux. Or at least my friend's laptop did.
With $700 you could get an awfully decent laptop. I suggest searching new egg for some good deals.
Edit: That Samsung is kinda sexy...I would read into it and see what people think. Also, I have a gateway and it works fine for all my computer related coding needs! And school stuff!

No hp laptops!!!!!
i do like there laptops but recently they are stop supporting them... i personally not sure about a samsung... i would go with a dell...

Ok I'll remove HP from my options. I'll look at dell laptops right now.

This one I think is the best I can get but it's almost $800 if I want it to be intel I5.

The best place to check would definitely be newegg, they have such a huge selection and you can narrow it down to exactly what you want then find the best prices and read the reviews.

Samsung has made very nice laptops there, you should take look at these. I've had very good memories with my Samsung laptops.

Haha just kidding.
Do you think choosing i5 over i3 will be worth the money? I might not play games anyway.

he asked for a laptop that can handle everything, not a UMPC that can't even do programming and gaming.
Still, your choice is tempting. I might even buy one for my brother

yep, brother.

Best Buy has HP's and Asus laptops for about $700 that will meet your needs.
You just have to catch them on sale. Check the Sunday flyer's often.

Whatever you do, get an HP laptop. They are the best. My extensive experience has shown that. I've had more trouble with Acer, Toshiba and others than I ever had with HP laptops. Right now I'm up to my 3rd HP laptop. My first one was a WinXP, which still is usable but need a new power socket. Number 2 is a Vista, which I am writing this on and number 3 is my newest Win7, which I reserve for coffee and breakfast in the morning at the table.

I betrayed us

I went and did it
I bought the new ipad
The retina-ish display was too tempting
And I kinda wish it was an android tab but the display was cool

I honestly don't see the point of owning and android phone AND an android pad... same with having an iphone and ipad
if I had an iphone, I'd look at android pads
I was looking at the new ipad too... but I can't see myself using it for anything more than I use my phone or laptop for so I don't see the point

I was thinking about the newer ipad too, but I ended up buying a $1000 laptop instead. Lol

It makes a lot of since to have have both apple or both android. You can use your purchased apps on both devices from the same company. But you can't use your ios apps on your android and your android apps on ios. You would have to buy them all over again.

That display is really something to behold. Never seen anything like it before. Would I buy one? Nope. Would I buy an Android tablet? Nope. I have 0 use for both of them at this point.

not sure if there is a jailbreak for the new ipad but i know you can make it look like an android tablet.

There's a nice little video about how "awesome" the new ipad is...

Nothing wrong with that, looks like a decent machine. I am waiting out for a decent and decently priced quad core Android tablet. Sticking with one library of apps rather than investing in two. But some of the serious apps I wish to have on android might be awhile.

Have fun with the rest of the sheep.
And why is that high of screen resolution needed on a 10" screen?
Just like the rest of the iDrones, ooh look it is shiny, look at the pretty colors and lights, and I only have to sign my bank account, soul, and first born child over to crapple? Sign me up! Morons!
Give crapple 500+ dollars,
Get higher screen res than is actually needed,
Tablet overheats and shuts down,
Firmware fix will just slow down CPU reducing performance,
Pay crapple hundreds more dollars for apps that aren't actually worth it,
PRICELESS!

I have five of these selling on Ebay right now. They are going for 700 each. I tried for one hour and I was done with it and android has so much more to do than ios 5.1.

I unfortunately can't justify buying a tab. I want one. I bought my girlfriend the Nook Tablet and her roommate uses it more than she does. I think I'm gonna take it and put CM7 on it.

Yes there is, but I tried and failed. I can't find it. If anyone finds it then a link here would be great, but until then it's a valid thread.
And to stay on-topic (which pains me to do so), you REALLY don't want to know my PC setup! Seriously

Show it! Is it a notebook or something like that? If so, don't be embarrassed, the only thing i have is a crappy laptop, but i don't need anything else. I don't play games, so i don't need a lot of power. SHOW IT, or tell us what you have

Since you asked so nicely
It's an "e-machine" custom built thing with a dual core 2.4GHz CPU (of some make or other - I think it's an AMD) and 4GB of RAM. I pretty much use it for browsing, DLNA streaming, software development and writing music. It doesn't need massive specs as I don't game on it that much. I've got a couple of Star Wars games, but they happily run at decent res as they're years old.
It suits my needs, but is by no means a powerhouse. I'm a console gamer, but if I wasn't then my PC would be pimped to the max as I'd game on that instead. I needs my games!

Same here, got a 360 but dont bother with that all the time either. Nice media extender though...

Thanks! Now, was that so hard? It's still better than my laptop. I have a Compaq Presario CQ62 with 2GB RAM. Not sure on the rest of the specs, but it's not fast at all. But it's OK for doing daily tasks like reading news and streaming/downloading things. If i want to game i'll power up the good ol' PS3.

Some of you have already seen these, but since it applies, here's my PC. I call her Cocaine.

Large capacity MP3 player >150GB

My 160GB Ipod Classic has finally died T_T The battery's not holding a charge at all, I'm thinking of getting it repaired but I'm worried something else'll fail shortly as it's had heavy use. I've been researching alternatives but all the threads etc I could find are a few years old, so what's the situation these days, are there any decent/inexpensive MP3 players with at least 150GB of storage out there? Any sort of mini hard drives with screens or anything? Or is the ipod classic still my best bet? Cheers

Obvious troll is obvious.

If you don't care about bulk archos has some massive pmps. I have a 4.8 in 250 gb but I can't use it for anything other than in my car just because its so large.

Cheers, good shout - what do you think of the Archos 48?

It's alright. Nothing special (and the resistive screen sucks after being spoiled by capacitive screens), charging (through a proprietary cable) is slow and the GUI sucks, but you can't beat the price for the capacity (I got my 250gb for like 170 a year ago).
I should add that the battery is fairly long lasting from a full charge and that in order to play movies and certain file formats (you'll be fine with mp3s) you have to buy format packs (which I find to be an obnoxious and money hungry practice that Archos should be ashamed of).

Yeah 500GB for £100, seriously tempted - £26 (independent site) to repair my 160GB iPod but like I said, something else could just fail as it has received heavy use. Had a look and it doesn't look like there are any ROMs for the 48, would be nice to pump it at least up to froyo... from the dimensions the 48 doesn't look too bulky, still pocketable?

Pocketable-maybe, but the weight is a pretty big factor. Not to mention that it's almost an inch thick (doesn't sound that bad until you have it right in front of you. I can post pictures for comparison to my Xoom or Nexus S if you're familiar with either.

I'm not 100% but I can guess what the nexus is like - pictures would be appreciated buddy!

Alright, I had to take the pictures with my Xoom so the size is a bit wonky but here you go.

Cheers, don't seem to be loading though?
*EDIT* Also is there a model (that's similar in price/storage space) that you'd recommend over the 48?

If you're on mobile it might take a while (they're in UXGA resolution).

Cheers, I see what you mean about the thickness... doesn't look much thicker than my classic though thinking about it? Guess the speaker on it's crap.
Has anyone come across any custom ROMs for the 48?
