I am looking for a highley portable but yet affordable laptop. Up to $1200. I want the laptop to have Windows Vista. Any recommendations on a laptop or just a brand that carries portable laptops for cheaper prices?

go to bestbuy. They have great ones that would be in your price range

Id say check out the Gateway M285-E, its a really nice computer and really good for college.

Dells are probably the best mix of quality and affordability. The Inspiron series is pretty nice, I have an E1505 and its perfect for everything I do.

He said he wants it for Vista. Plus the cheapest Macbook is listed at $1100, which doesn't give him the plethora of options he'd have choosing otherwise.

yeah but macs do have Windows Vista, the next generation software.

Since when has Vista become the next generation software.

somebody read a propaganda pamphlet.

seriously, even some hard core windows users don't even like vista... it stinks...

[Butters14]

I consider myself a hardcore Windows/PC guy. Personally, at the moment, I'll stick with my XP. I wouldn't say Vista stinks though. I just know I should wait at least 6 months to let them work out all the kinks and patches. And seriously everyone in here preaching Macs, seriously, he said he doesn't want one, he wants a PC. There are uses where PCs are better, as there are uses where Macs are better. Evidently he is choosing the PC route.
