Re: Laptop Recommendations??
I love my Gateway because it's red. 
Seriously, it's been a great machine, the only problem I've had is that it tends to overheat fairly easily if there's not a cooling pad under it. Mainly overheats if I'm watching something online. (that's probably my angels looking out for me, trying to save my heathen soul  )
My daughter has a Dell, and her power cord quit working after a few months. They replaced it quickly, though.
The kids' laptop is an Acer, and it's been good so far.
My husband has a Dell netbook, and he loves it.

Re: Laptop Recommendations??
Dell Netbooks are nice, more expensive than Acers
Laptops should not over heat if made right. Often the reason is where it is placed. Laptops should be on a hard service and the vent should not be blocked in any way

[quote=dizzyde;895192]No, not hard core gaming, but I do like playing Sims, and some other downloaded hidden object, and puzzle type games.
I just don't want any freezing up or lagging. My daughter has an HP and likes it really well, but this will be my first laptop, so I want to make the right
For stuff like that the two main things to consider is what sort of Video chip it has. Id want a Nvidia or ATI. Then how much video memory is allocated. Video chips don't have their own memory usually. They use what RAM is installed, which brings me to the next point. How much RAM is installed. If it was me I'd want at least 3 gigs. My HP has 2 and it still drags some.

Re: Laptop Recommendations??
compare the Dell to the Sony on this page. The Sony comes right after the Dell. Same specs just about but Sony is more expensive
