Laptop Shopping

My brother is planning to buy his very own laptop this December. He said it's his reward for himself for all his hard work this year. And since he doesn't know anything about computers, he's asking for my help. Problem is, I don't know much about laptops either so I told him to check out this laptop reviews website first. It contains consumer reviews which I find very helpful. My brother can also ask questions if he has any. Plus it will give him an idea on what's the latest laptop models sold in the market today. I also told him to decide on how much he's willing to spend on a laptop because that will help narrow down his choices.
