Sony Laptops?

Trips

I agree, but I was just pointing out it was possible, and you can get a mac for 1K.
I'm on Macbook Air ver1 since feb of 08 and have had no problems.
I use windows XP virtually for work but spend most of my time in snow leopard.

Yeah, I know it's been natively possible ever since Apple switched to intel chips from their own in-house chips. I'm just saying if your goal is specifically to run windows for basic low power use, and Apple is probably the worst bang for buck choice, but it does supply potential for future changes in use.

As for the listed uses, I would lo0ok for something with the i3 or i5 chipset. A lot of companies right now offer mid sized laptops with that chipset along with Radeon HD 5650 or equivalent graphics chips. This will give you a good balance of performance, gaming, and battery life. These laptops generally run from 650-800.

Yeah, but you can get a Hackintosh for cheaper.

If you are buying a laptop, seriously consider going with Dell again.

Dells are the lowest computer you can get now a days. Our company has stopped using them because of how you have to get replacement parts when things break. I own a apple my second one and love it well worth the price. If I would have to buy a computer I would go for asus or lenovo

How you have to get replacement parts when things break?

Dells are the same as literally every other computer on the planet. When/if hardware breaks, you fix it the same way as everything else. If you are talking about their phone support/RMA/etc. services, then I still have no clue what you're on about. Dell has one of the best business support systems out of any large computer company.

Buy a laptop with hardware that works for you. While I suggested Dell before (simply because of your price point), you can buy a laptop from any company and be happy these days.

Dells, however, get a bad rep because people love to hate on them for whatever reason. I have no idea why, but as someone who has previously worked in the tech field -- trust me when I sat the majority of the criticism is by people who don't have an even view of the playing field.
