I want a budget laptop with moderate features..want to run vista and no gaming.. what do you suggest
First rule of thumb: STAY AWAY FROM DELL. A budget laptop with "moderate" features such as you are seeking will be alright for now, but will cause you headaches 2 or 3 years down the track. There's a reason why Dell is so cheap. And its not a good one.
For a budget laptop, I would think you'd be looking at Acer and Compaq as brands (try to find Asus if you can also - they actually manufacture the Macbook for Apple). I would lean towards Acer more than Compaq personally - Compaq laptops are usually HP laptop's with certain features removed, and from what I've seen Acer come with more features and tend to be cheaper. My parents and my sister both have Acer laptops, and have not had any trouble with them.
Now, in terms of specs... you want to run Vista. That's cool, nothing wrong with that. So, to give you a good laptop with nothing in the way of performance issues:
Hopefully, that covers it!
Right now I have a HP Pavillion Entertainment laptop. It's brilliant, comes with vista, touch pad, fingerprint scanner and built in webcam. It is great for watching movies. and just generally everything. I think it is quite pricey though, there are some laptops without so many accessories. I do think that HP is a great make for laptops.
Good luck =]
