I need one for college, and it has to be under 500 bucks. Any ideas?

What do you mean by "college"? Do you need a laptop for your school or something?

If you're in high school, I'd buy a mac. If you're in college, I'd buy a PC. Otherwise, just save up some money and buy an iPod Touch, since it'll be more useful than a laptop if you have a computer to do stuff on.

I need to get a new one because my current one is getting slow.

So you need something small that will be good enough to get your work done?

If you're in college, you'll need a laptop that can handle more than just Word and Internet. You'll need things like a word processor (for papers), and probably some sort of image editing software. So basically you should look for something with an okay graphics card, but not too powerful. It doesn't really matter what the CPU is since laptops are generally pretty fast.

Yeah, I'm going to have to do lots of typing in classes.
I just don't know what kind of laptop I should buy.

Look up "Laptops under 500". I'd recommend a ThinkPad or some other cheap Dell if you're on a tight budget.
