We know summer's in midswing, but the start of the school year is right around the corner. For researching papers, writing reports, updating your Facebook profile, and plain-old killing time, you need a notebook. And not just any notebook--a notebook that represents your goals, your style, and most importantly, your wallet.

 

To assist you in selecting this perfect notebook, LAPTOP has established a set of minimum requirements to help you keep the machine running smoothly: a dual-core processor and 1GB of RAM, which is enough muscle to run Windows Vista (Mac fanatics, we haven't forgotten you). Once those basics are met, feel free to explore the bells and whistles that'll keep you happy from year one to graduation.
