What laptop brand would you recommend?

That is perfect.

I own a Sony VAIO VGN-FE670G and I am pretty happy with it and can definitely recommend it.

If you dont like SONY or find it a little expensive go for IBM T Series. They are the best in the market. I didnt go for them cause they dont offer wide screens.

 

I think you miss Acer and Apple.

 

I use a Fujitsu-Siemens. Very happy with it.

 

Mac = Apple

And ACER isn't worth considering.

 

for a laptop I'd recommend a Dell

 

I recommend Sony.Laptops of Sony are just awesome.

lenovo..... thats there in the pipeline for me

 

I'm using an HP now, very happy with it although it does run a bit warm.

 

hard to belive if you give any good example.
my last 2 notebooks are acers, the first is 6 years old and still runs without problems. had some great IBM (486,60MHz) and compaq (P90) before, but i think acer offers the bet value for the money, while ibm has a lot of nice extras like a keyboard light (every notebook should come with this feature, its just a $1 part!), harddisk protection and so on.
i have have seen a lot people with other cheap notebooks sending them in twice or more each year for repairs ("gericom") and get them back in the same condition.

 

I got two Toshiba Satellites and both are broke. Backlight out in one, and the other one got funky and won't reformat (the "Wrong Machine" error).

 

Wow... I can see both pros and cons for each brands. Think its quite hard to get a laptop that can last unless the laptop itself is very good and the owner must also take really good care of it.

 

ASUS
they dont just make motherboards, they make great Laptops as well.

 

As with most things 'you get what you pay for'

 

Hi Deano, I do agree with you in getting things you paid for. I am just curious of any laptop brand that will be able to last at a reasonable price.

 

Sony VIO Series. Thats wat i am using. Or u could always get a Toshiba Satellite too. There are many but u need to get it according to wat u need it for and ur budget ofcourse.

 

I'd definatel go with Dell. I love 'em. Good service, good laptops, they're pretty much good at everything.

 

Lenovo..
Just go for it..

 

My dad owns a TOshiba Satellite i must say its pretty darn good

 

If you are rich or your company pays for it - Sony
If you want a decent system worth for the money - Toshiba
If you are and American - Dell
If you want to save money and not to lose power - Acer
If you are lover of HP / Company Servers - HP

 

Hi smartcard, thank you for the categorization. Just curious. Do you have any reasons for such a categorization?
