This is a very open-ended question. First, identify what you're going to be using the laptop for. There's no need to waste money on a super-fast processor with an extended instruction set for handling multimedia effects if you're just going to be typing up your homework. Next, you want to determine which hardware platform suits your needs, typically IBM- or Macintosh-compatible. Different platforms support different processors with different instruction sets, so the programs that power your software applications need to be written for specific instruction sets. Many popular applications are available on all major platforms, and all common application needs--word processing, e-mail, etc.--are represented. Once you've decided on the platform that will best support you, check the minimum and recommended hardware requirements for the applications you plan to use. They typically recommend a baseline processor speed as well as memory and storage requirements. Now that you know what platform you'll be using and what you need to run the applications you want to use, you should have a handful of broad processor families to evaluate. Simply choose one whose specifications meet your needs and budget. The poster below recommended against Intel Celeron processors because they are "slower." This isn't exactly true. Celeron processors aren't optimized for computationally intensive applications like 3D gaming and protein-folding modelers, but they're very well suited to the average home user who only wants to browse the Web and do his taxes. There's no sense in paying more for something you won't use. the best chip to get in any computer laptop or desktop is a Intel Core 2 Duo T7600. try to stay away from Celeron or some pentiums b/c they are slower..
