they have 1 year for xps system and 3 months for regs i believe

 

there are a couple sub 500 $ laptops on newegg which would be ok for web browsing.

 

I still have the original 512

if you're looking at just the physical fact that its a laptop with a screen, a keyboard, and a disk drive, then yeah, its overpriced. If you factor in the quality of the machine, the abilities of the OS, and the helpfulness of AppleCare, then its not overpriced

 

I like my window xp.. yeah it's got problems but it works for me.
I really wouldn't need applecare because I think i'm pretty knowledgeable on how to fix software and hardware bugs and problems.
Just like my car.. i prefer to work on the problems myself.

 

well said . I have had zero problems with my macbook, everything just works.

 

just get a dell. its a decent laptop and u can get a pretty good one for $700 plus tax.

i would get the $699 one cuz it has 2gb ram and a video card.

 

Dell is pretty much the cheapest (price wise) computer manufacturer. But for a pc laptop, I'd go with Toshiba or Fujitsu. They build pretty quality laptops.

how's this one?

 

so like whats this laptop going to be used for?

 

browsing web.. running non-gaming application.
play music, video , storage.
Your basic everyday computer usage.

 

crappy graphics card, HD could be bigger, XGA res...
.

if size and weight isn't an issue , why not look at this one. $50 cheaper. if you dont mind AMD: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16834115386

 

Oh i want a very compact computer so i prefer 14" screen or smaller.
As light as possible.

HDD is not big concern because i can always get external HDD.

 

pr9n? well that laptop only has 80gb iono how much you can store on it. but i guess it works

 

80gb of **** is plenty.

 

if you say sooo
