What should I look for in a new laptop and how much should I spend? It is mostly for around the house to connect to the internet and to be used for homework.

Common question these days.

Here is what I would look for in the order of importance :

RAM : 2GB minimum
O/S : Windows Vista Premium (not Basic)
HARD DRIVE : 250GB minimum
PROCESSOR : Dual Core 2.0 minimum
WIRELESS : includes the new type 'N'
DISPLAY : depends on portability required
16" to 17" for around the house

You should be able to find this for $700 before taxes

OPTIONAL : built in Card Reader
built in Web Cam with Microphone

Hope this helps.
