What will you be using it for?

If it's mainly for browsing the internet then pick the one with the biggest hard drive in your budget range.

If you're going to be doing more complex tasks, pick the one with the most RAM and/or quad core CPU.

If you're gaming, don't buy a laptop unless you can spend thousands and are prepared for it being hopelessly out of date within 24 months.

Don't buy a Lenovo.

Would you be better off with a tablet, Android or otherwise?
Well thank you! I'm buying an Asus ROG G752VL

Yes, I will use it for gaming, but just normal gaming, not like LAST GAME 4K WITH CHIPS HD4living crap. Just normal games, that laptop has nice ram, nice video card and nice screen

Probably because of the scandal about the backdoors in the software that were put there intentionally. Still a great product and probably won't affect anybody on a consumer level.

Damn it! I want to buy a laptop but I have no clue of what are the differences between them, and I have to pick quickly, I can't find anyone who knows about computers
Yoda is there an extended leaderboard? Just because he is in vacations doesn't mean he won't chat a little bit in the yellbox
Seriously? I thought you would have way more shouts than me.
Wow, I'm less that 10 shouts behind you I wish there was an extended leaderboard
I'm at 691 shouts after three and a half years. So i'll be there in 2040 hopefully.
