Dual-core is pretty standard.. AMD/Intel? I like Intel more.. 2.0ghZ or faster

---there will come a day when quad-cores are in a laptop..but not any time soom, just desktops

100GB HD is very small.. I would not take less than ~200gb, unless you have a desktop as your main PC..

Memory.. as much as it can hold..2GB is a min, 4-6GB is much faster if you run multiple programs or play games..

DVD-RW is a standard..
 
that sounds like a laptop that can be picked up anywhere for a few hundred bucks. just about any laptop will get you those specs. i have been looking at an HP mini-notebook, or 13" standard laptop and they ahve all those basic specs.

sales? yea black friday is in 4 days. just be prepared to be murdered by money saving adiots in order to get a laptop. i hate society.
 
HP's have heard have bad rep for quality

Yep, don't get an HP. My wife bought one less than a year ago, keys have fallen off the keyboard, sometimes the screen simply does not come on (not sure yet if that's a Vista or HP problem though) and HP customer service / warranty has been more hassle than its worth.
 
Walmart will have HP laptops for $259 and Emachines for $198 this Friday!
can't beat that!
 
i love hp and compaq. i think the problem with hp is most likely their consumer base. you know i D 10 t errors and such. dells on the other hand go so far to be proprietary that it's detrimental to their machines. toshiba, lenovo, acer... they're all low end junk. even their systems can last over 5 yrs though. if you can get an msi or an asus laptop instead of your everyday names go for it.

as far as i see it stay away from netbooks unless you really don't want an optical drive. walmart and best buy have been going back and forth on a best hardware for the best price war lately. see what you can get them to bring out of the back. i know a buddy of mine got a decent laptop with a 17" screen and 3 gigs of ram at walmart not too long ago. it was a toshiba for like $360.00.

Buy a dell vostro or latitude from the small business division with 3 years next business day onsite warranty. I'm just work with business and I test a lot of brands and models, all the cheap laptops that you can find in best buy, office max or similar stores are crap, don't waste your money. But if you want to buy something locally y would recomend 2 brands: Sony and Toshiba. But go with Dell if you can.
