I'm looking to buy a new laptop and I can't decide.. HP has a really strong box for 2000.. same box costs 2400 and gateway.. and dell is a ridic -> 3500 dollars.. I love the hp look.. I have still yet to build one under IBM.. Any suggestions?

I staying with Sony Vaio, they look great and work great“If you can convince the lowest white man he’s better than the best colored man, he won’t notice you’re picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he’ll empty his pockets for you.”Comment

I have a vaio SZ-260P/C and it is overpriced, and underperforming
my battery life NEVER goes above 4 hours (vs the advertised 7 hours), and my internet connectivity is much worse than my previous laptops. And the body seems a little flimsy, even with carbon fiber.
besides that, yes it is a kickass laptop, but there are better out thereComment

Yah.. I just heard about the macbooks actually.. I definitely wouldn't mind dual booting.. Macs are really good for designing graphics and doing music i hear too right? I have a sony vaio right now and personally i bought it for 1500 and it runs like a piece of shit.. THat was about 8 months ago.. Thing lags out on me all the time.. Runs .net interface horribly.. I think i'm going to go with a MacBook.. The ibms are really nice business machines but the graphics end is horrible.. and i have to admit, i don't mind shooting down some terrorists every couple days when I get bored..GET RICH OR DIEComment

A couple weeks ago I got a VAIO with core2 duo 1.66ghz, 120gb, 1gig ram, DVDr and all that crap
was pretty cheap, so far so good ... certainly the screen kicks ass
The days that people went "wow, you got a vaio!" are long over ... eventhough they still look good, they're in everybody's price-range now (well not the high-end ones, but anyway)
whatever you do, don't get a girly white laptop ... it has "gay" all over it :pSpank me
Dude, where's my traffic?Comment

a few tips
1. don't install any of the 3rd party fan controllers - you'll just have to redo your computer from the beginning..
2. once you migrate to mac, software wise - you'll probably use windows less and less - if at all
3. graphics wise - you'll never regret getting into a mac

i'm mainly a programmer.. i design on the side when i feel like i can pull something off without paying a professional.. i do like doing music production as one of my stronger hobbies, so i'd definitely want to pursue that with it.. i just want a strong machine that won't lag out on me when i'm treating it like a desktop.. i understand notebooks will never be as powerful as a high end desktop, but this vaio is hell.. for running windows, .net, sound production.. does the notebook hold it's own? i like the mac interface though.. i'd keep all the communication/art on the mac side and do business on the windows sideI have 3 of them now.. and to be honest the best notebook I've ever had

for music there is nothing better - I dont do any - but just go into any major production studio or watch any of the pros on the road - they all use mac notebooksi'm mainly a programmer.. i design on the side when i feel like i can pull something off without paying a professional.. i do like doing music production as one of my stronger hobbies, so i'd definitely want to pursue that with it.. i just want a strong machine that won't lag out on me when i'm treating it like a desktop.. i understand notebooks will never be as powerful as a high end desktop, but this vaio is hell.. for running windows, .net, sound production.. does the notebook hold it's own? i like the mac interface though.. i'd keep all the communication/art on the mac side and do business on the windows side
regarding lagging - I also have a 24" IMac - with 3gigs of memory - and my main 15" MacBook Pro - with 2 gigs of memory keeps up very very well.. never a problem - I only keep about 50 windows open at a time
once you get into mac you'll never regret it

Sony VAIOs look good but run like shit. My last one cost me £2000 (US$3800) and lasted a whole 18 months before giving up completely due manufacturing faults and dodgy parts.
MACs are obviously the designers' choice, gorgeous and great performance though you may want to stick with PCs for convenience.
If so I'd recommend AlienWare. These babies are designed by gamers for gamers, so you can bet they're the business in terms of performance. Rock solid. They're not bad to look at either, maybe a little bulkier depending on the model, but that's a small trade off for what you get. Personally, this is my next laptop.

I just picked up a new Alienware myself. It is an amazing system. I went balls to the wall with the upgrades and they were worth every penny. Out performs every desktop I have played on to date.Sony VAIOs look good but run like shit.

MacBook Pro with no doubt. Mac OSX is BSD Unix and Xp well, it's XP and you can run them both. Using Parallels you can actually run XP or Vista in a virtual machine under OSX. If the application software you use runs under oSX you will rarely use Windows Again.Comment
