Whats the best laptop out there for the price?

Question

I need one for school soon be to going to college for criminal justice. I need one that's sturdy and has Wi-Fi built in. For a price range I'm looking at around $500 to $800. Also it needs to last long and it will be used everyday all day. Any suggestions.

If it was in stock. You can try going on Lenovo and customizing one for about $800.

Avoid Alienware. It's not in your price range and think, would anyone take you seriously if you brought out an Alienware laptop?

Answer 2

Acer has some really cheap ones for around 600.  I got an Acer 5507Z about a year ago (this is quite similar - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as...

Acer is cheap but works great.  Not anything you'd want for demanding software like games or editing, but It works great for normal use.  

I had few problems with WI-FI, but the computer really doesn't like to be run on anything but Windows Vista.  I got Linux (Ubuntu) and Windows XP to work on it but it takes some doing.

The graphics card and processor are nothing great but it runs smoothly on any every day activity.  Very nice cheap computer.

Alien ware: STEER CLEAR, they are awesome computers yes, but they are extremely overpriced and unless you want to do some hardcore gaming its def. not worth it.  Sony laptops are also very overpriced.  Dells and HPs "gaming laptops" have been priced very reasonably in my opinion.
