    As the title says i'm looking for a new laptop and i want some opinions pwease :)

    right now i'm looking at the acer aspire one, the specs look good, but i'm not a very tech savvy person so i have no idea if they actually are or not XD Also if i could get some suggestions on any that you might think are better i'd be using it for just personal use right now as i'm only a junior in highschool, although i do plan on bringing my laptop with me almost everywhere i go, and i do plan on using this laptop in college once i start college in a few years. So i know i can find all those reviews that say what the "best" laptop for a new college student, or just students in general, is, but i don't tend to trust those :)

    any opinions and help are much appreciated :)

    also here's the link to the specs of the acer aspire one incase anybody wants to look over them and shoot them down or whatever :)

    Hmm well it depends on what you're doing with it, and price range and everything?
    Right now for regular computer usage i'd say just get which ever that's not too bad, but for college use i'd advise you to get a Macbook or something, just because windows laptop is horrible for college imo.

    I suggest LG laptops with big Rams and fast speeds.

    It really depends on whether you are doing work or games...

    But still--> LG!

    8" Sony VAIO P (1.86 GHz, 2GB RAM).

    Best laptop you'll ever get, and the 1600*768 display, and awesome keyboard will amaze you.

    I myself have an acer aspire one 11.6".
    I use it for school and it has around 7 hours of battery. Very good for school and you can put a SIM-card in it so you can go on the internet everywhere.. :)

    yea that's the other laptop i was looking at, although it isn't as powerful as the timeline i do like the sim card for internet everywhere cuz already pay the 30 bucks a month for the internet service, the only problem i'd have with the aspire one is that it's so small... i have these really big man hands and little laptops never work that well for me :/
