Ive built 2 computers from there... and my friend that works with the geek squad at best buy built his there too. They have some of the BEST PRICES for anything related to computer. I would seriously recomend this site to anyone.

dell makes the worst laptops in the business
I tested 2 laptops for a program called Serato Scratch Live(DJ Software). A Toshiba 1.4 PENTIUM Centrino 512 L2 cache 256mb system memory, and a Dell 1.8 centrino better processor with 2mb L2 cache and 512 system ram. Without going into too much detail let me say that the Toshiba out performed the Dell in all aspects even though the Dell was a better system by the specs alone. I had so many problems with audio dropouts on the supposed usb 2.0 ports that basically the program was unusable for audio using those ports. I sent the computer to dell to exchange it for a new one and the new one did the same thing? I can only figure that the problem was due to power issues with that type of computer.


Quality definitley matters! I dont care how great the customer support is!

I would highly recommend Toshiba.

oh ya, its going to be used most for entertainment, not like games..but d/l videos,songs,searching the net and doing homework, some photoshop and movie making programs as well, and also a music making program to mix songs toughter
It sounds like you want a do everything type of system so try and get something with the Intel pro duo processor and a dedicated video chipset ie ATI, nVIDIA. Audio-Video editing is very processor intensive so its best not to skimp when it comes to processor and Video hardware.Also look for Firewire ports I use 300gb external drives with my laptop and they run flawless. Spend some extra money now and later you wont be disappointed . These days laptops are for some their only systems and if its for school you at least want it to last for 4 years. so plan accordingly.

Which Audio programs do you run or are interested in?
