First, I am not a geek, but can offer a few tips. If your Dell laptop can power up but can't load Windows, it's salvagable.

 

Most laptops come today with sufficient memory (at least 256 MB). But, even if it comes with less memory, you can add extra memory for a few tens bucks. Also, laptops today come with enough space (at least 30 gb) and a cdrw/DVD. These are the basic components that come with a laptop. But, an integrated wireless network card is optional, which you don't need because you can add one (external) for under $20.

 

A mobile processor differs from a desktop processor; it's advantage is it cools down the laptop, while the later it heats up. Most laptops today come with a desktop processor, like Celeron, Pentium 4, Athlon-XP and etc. Centrino is a mobile processor. VIA C3 processor although a desktop processor, is extremely cool.

 

These are the holiday seasons, if you look for a bargain laptop with the specifics you want, you will get one for under $800. If you wait a few months, laptops will get cheaper by at least $200.

Dell is pretty good about their services so, check if they can help you with fixing whatever is wrong with your laptop. My roommate's laptop crashed and they asked her to send it to them and kaboom! it's working just fine now.

 

A lot of people have told me not to get the celeron processor becoz it doesn't really help cooling your pc that much..that's way they are normally quite cheap.

 

I have dell notebook with a centrino processor and it works great for me because I use it just like you for school purposes and SOL

Dell always have great deals so keep on checking. buying right after thanxgiving is a great idea.
