In the market for a new laptop. Looking to send 350-400 or maybe 450 if its really going to bump me up to something nicer.

As far as what I do mainly browsing the web, blogging on blogger, decent amount of pictures and photos, watching youtube. Making sum youtube videos but pretty simple stuff with like windows movie maker nothing super crazy with all types of big editing programs. Run an ebay business and online business so printing shipping labels and things like that as well.

I'm pretty good with computers, internet, etc but don't know much when it comes to computer specs nad selecting a computer. Help please. Also i have a compusa store/wraehouse in my city so can go pick it up in person but you can see the selection online.

I recommend going to Dell Outlet. You get a really nice database search tool which allows you to filter in what you want in terms of memory, HD size, video card, monitor size, etc. Since most of the inventory is refurbished or scratch and dent or simply returned, it is a lot cheaper. You won't be able to tell it is not brand new either.

Dell Factory Outlet



Another great site is Pricewatch.

Notebooks at Pricewatch - lowest prices, sales, price comparison
