About Lauren Bennett Expertise I am a computer science major and my dad is an Electric Engineering, so my life has revolved around computers. For as long as I can remember, I have been buying and selling computers. I tend to travel a lot, so I have always had a laptop. I have bought 5 of them for myself, and bought around 30-40 for friends and family. I have dealt with the good and the bad of various version and brand names. If you are in need of buying a laptop, feel free to contact me and I'm sure I will be able to guide you into purchasing the laptop that will be the best fit for you. I will custom build you computers for you to choose from so you can get an exact idea of what to go and buy when you do it yourself and so that you have an exact price. However, I am in the USA and am only knowledgeable about computers here in the US. I do not know about foreign currency or the quality of computer brand names outside the US.
Experience B.S. in Computer Science. Buying and selling for years. Assisting friends/family.
Question I need to buy a laptop within a week, but I am not sure which laptop to buy. I do not know one thing about laptops or computers. I know that i want a laptop that is realiable and lightweight. One that will not break down easily or break easily. i am also looking for a laptop that has fast access to the internet and changes from websites quickly. I am also narrowing my choices to apple, sony, hp or hp. I am also considering a custom made laptop and NOT Dell. Do you suggest a custom made laptop for what I am looking for in a laptop or a company lpatop? I need this laptop for law school and mostly for internet reasearch and internet access.
Answer I've never understood why everyone hates Dell. I did my dissertation for my Ph.D. on the quality of all the computer brand names out there and Dell won my a long shot. They have far less complaints per computer sold, and they outsell the rest of the brand names by an unbelievable amount.
HP is second best in quality, but their laptop isn't as good. With HP you have to ship off your computer, wait for it to be fixed, and then have it shipped back to you. It is time consuming and shipping is hard on the laptop.
Sony does offer the at home service like Dell, but their computers are not as high of quality and they are very over priced.
Apple laptops are about $1,000 more, don't offer much of a warranty, the software is more expensive, and they are only really "better" if you are into music, architecture, or graphic design. Otherwise, PC's rule the rest of the career paths and will much better suit your needs.
Let me know what your budget is and I'll configure you a laptop that will meet your needs and your budget. It will be a bit challenging with your brand name demands (college students get $500 off Dell laptops), but I will still be able to configure you a high quality, fast, powerful laptop.
Please let me know and I will get back to you right away with a good laptop configuration for you!
