Hi and welcome to my blog,
I opened this blog to help anyone who is preparing for his GRE exam.
I remember myself when I started - I was so lost and in such a panic.
Luckily I got this great Gre guide that helped me a lot
So study hard and good luck!
I’m going away for my sophmore year in college in the fall and I’m planning on buying a laptop.
Here’s what I want/need it for:
-HAS TO BE windows based
-writing papers and doing school work
-downloading and playing music
-possibly playing movies (not required)-
-surfing the internet
-using instant messaging services
-checking e-mail
-all the very basic computer use stuff.
I don’t have a whole lot of money to spend, I’m hoping nothing more than 0/0 at the VERY most. (hopefully under that much)
Any suggestions?

the dell inspirion e1405 is more expensive & processor choice on date is very limited !
I would buy a Dell. I bought one and it does everything i need it to +. Also you can costumise it so whatever you dont want on it you wont get. Prices range from 250 and up
good luck
If you can hold off until you get there, you’ll probably find students selling their laptops on bulletin boards around campus. Your school website may have a student classified section on it that you can check right now.
any cheap one is ok
here’s a link on ebay where you can read reviews of new laptops by ebay members
