                      I've been out of the Notebook market for quite a while, but as far as durability and longevity goes, I bought a Micron 5 years ago and it's still going strong..... granted it's slow as fuck compared to today's systems, but I have never once had a single hardware problem with it..... I would buy from them again without hesitation.

                          My Dell Inspiron 8000 is awesome.. and most importantly, it was the only laptop that had a 3d accelerator so I could play FS2002 and Quake III Arena

                                  One brand I certainly WOULDN'T recommend is COMPAQ

                                  and make sure if you get a new notbook that it doesn't have XP or if it does - that it hasn't been built specifically for XP , so you can put win2kpro on it
                                  Unless of course you like XP , in which case you must come from another planet so you probably have great notebooks in space anyhow! ;)

                                      I have a toshiba. it sucks. the dvd player couldn't hold up to the amount i played it - once a day for 6 months. the network card crapped out after 8 months. the usb ports crapped out at a year. (all under warranty ... 4 year ... thru circuit city... cuz i'm smart, but still).

                                      Go with Dell. Awesome display. GREAT soundcard (rated #1 in industry)

                                            I've done some work on the Vaio. That is not a bad machine at all.

                                                    I'm not a Dell fan...

                                                    I did notice that Gateways got some good deals running on notebooks right now.

                                                    just need to be careful that what you do end up with is upgradeable if you ever want to, there's nothing worse than being stuck with a box that sucks.

                                                      I have a Toshiba Satellite (bought it 1 year ago), it is pretty good.
                                                      But Dell rocks too. My Desktop is a Dell.

                                                          I've upgraded Dells, Gateways and Vaios. Except for instances of proprietary bios that needed to be updated they have always been very easy work. Those are solid machines. Can't say the same for Compaq or HP.

                                                            Stay away from Compaq unless you enjoy proprietary headaches.

                                                                I've got a friend who was recently shipped overseas & he wants a Compaq notebook with a CD-RW. However, his wife called me this morning asking if I would buy it for them. I said sure and she started sending me all these links while I was looking at the refurbished notebooks. I finally had to tell her that my credit limit is ony $1000. I haven't heard back from her since.

                                                                I found other brands with much better prices & equipment but he insists on a Compaq.

                                                                  You can get a Compaq Presario 1200z laptop for under a grand.. 1Gig Athlon, 15(?)G HDD, CDRW/DVD, onboard nic and modem.

                                                                  I used to have a Dell Inspiron 7000 (before they were replaced by the 7500's). I picked up my unzipped laptop case from the rental car's passenger seat, and it tumbled onto the pavement..... .without a scratch! My complaint about this one was the weight.

                                                                  A co-worker of mine has a sony vaio. He thinks that it's pretty underpowered, and it does have a small screen, but it is very lightweight.

                                                                  My daughter accidentally knocked my Compaq Presario 1210US off the couch onto the carpeted floor. It landed on the right side, jamming the wireless NIC into the motherboard, toasting the PCMCIA slot, the onboard NIC and Modem. Not covered under warranty. Shit.

                                                                  I just bought another 1210US to replace it.

Aside from being delivered with some bad memory, which HP replaced very promptly (their service unit was easy to get in touch with and very helpful, overnighting me the replacement memory), the unit has proven very solid and easy to use with no particular peculiarities.
                                                                          SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, then you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60.
