I love my dell laptop. You can start off with a nice one for around 400 dollars if you don't need or desire a bunch of upgrades.

You can't go wrong with a Dell. Usually if you go into a Best Buy or Office Max, all the computer geeks who work there are more than happy to help you and get you the best one that fits your needs. Good luck!

I have a Dell mini through Tmobile. Unless you have wifi access you will need a broadband mobile card or like mine, built in. The problem with the netbooks is no power. That thing is slower than death. Better than nothing at all...

I have a HP that is a full laptop but it is actually more powerful that my full sized Dell Inspirion.

If I were you I wouldn't sell your desktop. You won't get much for it, like less than 100 if it is over a year old. They are a great place to back up a portable since when you carry your machine it is more likely to be damaged.

I am normally a fan of Asus laptops, but the one I got last month crashed almost immediately. Now I have a Sony Vaio and I really like it!!

My mom had a netbook and didn't like how small it was. My husband has it now, and sometimes hooks it up to a bigger monitor.

We had Dell's for a long time, but I despise their customer service :).

Best Buy people really can guide you to what you need, since there is so much to look at and you have a general idea.

My hubby works in IT and we all have Dells. You can check on-line or in Best Buy to see what would be best for your needs.

Check with your phone carrier. Verizon has a notebook that is around $300 and you turn it on like a phone, J. a monthly line charge and 2 yr contract.

My husband and I have Dell's and love them.

Mine is an XPS that is about 4 yrs old and running great. I run all the financials for our company through Quickbooks and it is vital that I have my computer up and running daily.

Hubby's is a bit newer than mine and he loves it. i don't remember the model.

We J. upgraded daughter from her 4 yr old Dell Latitude to a MacBookPro. She loved her Dell but she REALLY loves the Mac.

We got my laptop through Dell and everything has been great. We got the others from Best Buy and I can't say enough good about the Best Buy computer people. They are great!
