laptop recommendations?

HP get my thumbs up, the hardware is good and even when it fails, they'll look after you.

Stay away from Fujitsu Siemens, though. Mine was emitting smoke by the time I was done with it (srsly )

I'd love a MacBook! I've always been wary of Macs generally but since I've started using them at college, they've really grown on me.

Sony. I've had two and never, ever had a problem with either of them. The only reason I replaced the first one (it's kept as a standby) is that I got a fat gift card from my boss and could get a much faster one, with a bigger screen. Anyway, I can't recommend them highly enough. I got some cheapo version the first time I brought it and it lasted exactly 2 months before it had to be shipped out for repairs. Never again will I take the cheap way out when it comes to laptops--I buy what I can afford of course, but stick with the big names. And do your homework. Find a model you like and then Google it and look for reviews about that particular model. Good luck!

Check this page ...DELL laptops ...they always have top to bottom deals. I am very pleased with my XPS1530. I haven't had experience with DELL service as I haven't had any issues; based on their customer-service during the sale, I wouldn't suspect they are worthless. heh.

enjoy!

I went with a DELL laptop as I have forever used their desktops at work.
So, this is my experience with DELL.
No doubt there are other systems as worthy
