Anything other than a Dell. God, I hate my dell with every fucking cell of my body. This is my first and my last Dell.

When I buy something to replace it, I swear I am going to smash this one. With a dell, you can expect an hour and a half battery life, broken hinges, assorted problems with upgrades (just TRY adding some more memory, they solder the cards in so you have to send it to them to be upgraded with THIER SHIT).

I was at CompUSA last night, they have a couple of very nice Toshiba units and I very much am considering getting this one.

I would go Dell, I never have a problem. I have 3 Dell laptops and 1 desktop and I drop and beat the hell out of them and they always boot up.

Like a Ford, Built Tough...

Yeah, not really a Dell fan so I think I will stay away from them.

BestBuy has had some really good deals on Toshiba's lately. May have to go in there tomorrow and check it out.

I think you're being paranoid. The chance of your battery exploding is really really really slim, even if you do buy a dell.

Buy an Apple tho.

Macbook Pro 17, upgrade it to 2 gigs ram... fucking insane laptop.

**testpie** · 09-02-2006, 11:45 AM

IBM. You cannot go wrong with an IBM machine - they are rock solid.

That's the laptop my buddy suggested, but I need something under $1,500... guess I should have said that, lol.

I always used IBM and was happy, but not anymore!
Yesterday I bought a new laptop from ASUS, I was surprised myself, they are cheap and VERY good!
I bought special edition, what a toy:

there are cheap versions, like the macbook. But the pro is fast as hell, true desktop replacement, actually much faster than my twin athon desktop.

**diesel** · 09-02-2006, 12:06 PM

It comes with great bag, wireless mouse and even album of all car models from Lamborghini

plus 2 GB RAM and Duo 2.0....

**backman1** · 09-02-2006, 12:18 PM

Centrino Duo is the Best

**GeorgeM** · 09-02-2006, 02:21 PM

only duo core !!! IBM or DELL i think

**dissipate** · 09-02-2006, 02:36 PM

Your buddy is right, Macs are the way to go

**Vitasoy** · 09-02-2006, 02:51 PM

Get a dell, pretty much all my pcs/laptops are dells. No problem what so ever.

Yup, got that with mine aswell

But then again, the thing is already 4 years old and i've been using the shit out of it since the first day I bought it, I use it as my main computer (with external screen etc when at home).
It's an inspiron 4150, pentium 4 Mobile 1.9ghz, still doing a good job

I'm also looking to replace it, and it will be a Dell again (their prices are pretty good and the ability to configure it to your needs is a big plus)
Just got a bit confused with the CPU shit, dual core 1.6ghz and all that, i'm like what the fuck, my 4 year old 1.9ghz laptop is faster than that shit
but I guess that's some improved stuff that makes mine look like a turtle
