What is the best notebook computer to buy these days?
I’m not exactly sure. It sounds like at that price you are looking at a low gaming machine. I will just say that HP has built in disc labeling. That means you can buy a lightscribe DVD or CD and label your own discs right inside the drive. When you purchase blank discs, just look for the word “lightscribe” right on the package. Also, if you are a movie guy, HP has Quick Play. You can hit the DVD quick play button between the keyboard and monitor and it will play a movie from a DVD without loading the full blown Windows Vista. This saves 25% of battery life. It’s best to purchase any computer from a retail store. A common problem with laptops is hard drives going out. If that happens, Geek Squad takes care of the shipping to get it fixed. This would be no charge if your computer is under warranty. If you buy it online like from newegg.com, you pay the shipping charge to send it to HP and have them fix it. HPs are very reliable. A hard drive I have seen go bad is in a Toshiba. My sister
