Laptops

Im in the market to buy a Laptop, my questions is whats the best out there for the money?

Ive seen some cheap ones for 300 brand new, but im sick of windows based computers but the macbooks are pricey for me.

Any ideas or suggestions on what direction i could in?

Thanks Fellas

First off I don't like Apple. Cheap product. I always have used Dell for almost fifteen years now and never been happier. I just bought a Dell Inspiron a year ago at Costco. 15.6 inch screen. Wonderful!. Lots of memory. It all depends on what you are going to do with your laptop(business, just surf,gamer etc...If you spend cheap you are going to get cheap. You can get real good laptops brand new nowdays for way under $1,000. Costco has a two year warranty whcih I love.
