I am currently in school and I want to purchase a laptop strictly for school related papers and such. I am so confused as to what laptop would be a good match for me as far as memory and all that goes. Can someone please help me find a good reliable but not too expensive laptop? Thanks

There a re lots available for that function - your not looking for high performance - Often a bargin is available and stands out from the crowd on performance -

BUT
what country are you in
and MAX budget ?

Look for a machine with 3GB of memory
Dont worry too much about harddrive space when comparing - as you can get 1TB external harddrives very cheaply now

In the UK - I often keep an eye on Staples and if on the big estates will pop-in they often have a good deal
otherwise currys/comet can have a good deal in a sale ...
