i m toshiba all the way !!!!

**e-god** · 12-02-2004, 09:10 AM

HP is no. 1

**Sosa** · 12-02-2004, 09:11 AM

stay away from HP, Compaq, Gateway.

I love my toshiba

I also suggest investing a couple hundred bucks on an external backup harddrive that you can connect to via USB. Back your files up to it regularly. It will save you alot of time/hassle/money if your main laptop harddrive gets a deadly virus (that happened to me

) or if your laptop gets lost/stolen. I have the 160gig Netdisk Ximeta backup drive

Dell is good as well.

Whichever brand you choose (I prefer Fujitsu), get one that uses the new screen technology (don't remember the name). You'll see the difference when you see it

Can you guys please tell me your thoughts? I would appreciate it. Also where is a good place to purchase it online or at a particular store.

Thanks

Whilst resembling a laptop computer, if you see this in a store you have walked to far - this is a sandwich maker.

Actually...it just fell to #2 in sales and customer satisfaction behind Dell for the 1st time ever.

Get a Sony Vaio. I've had mine for three years and it's still great. I just did a system restore last night due to the viruses and it still works like it's brand new. I love it.

**rj2kix** · 12-02-2004, 11:11 AM

get an Apple Powerbook 17" and you wont be disappointed

**SABAI** · 12-02-2004, 11:14 AM
