      I've had a Toshiba Satellite for 2 years with no problems whatsoever.

      Both are good choices.

        Dell shipped my Inspiron DOA, so I couldn't tell you there, unfortunately. My Satellite lasted like 3 years, but I upgrade my laptop/PC every 3-6 months, so the "older" ones only get turned on once/year or so after they're "retired" .. hehe.

        Macbook Pro is spectacular, especially for Windows XP -- runs it very nicely.

              I just bought the new Dell XPS 1210 and got it yesterday. I love it, weighs like 3 pounds and super portable. I opted for the 12" monitor for easier transport.

                            my friend has a Toshiba and its been nothing but suckful. it overheats all the time. Do a google search for Toshiba and overheating and there is a shit load about it.

                              TOSHIBAS SUCK ASS!!

                              go with Dell

                              Often times I wonder why
                              There's love and hate, theres live or die.
                              When sickness comes I must decide:
                              When feelings go, theres suicide.

                                  Most of the people that I know that own the toshiba would not trade it for anything.

                                            toshiba and sony beat anything by a landmile. However dell are pretty good as well (latitude series.. inspiron are built cheap). IBM have a good rep as well but I do not like them myself.. bad design.

                                                  My opinion is that you need to actually see and touch the laptop you are going buy.

                                                  Do you like the feel of the keyboard?
                                                  Are the keys in the right place and the right size?

                                                  Most importantly, does the laptop in question run hot? You would be amazed at the differences in cooling power between brands and even between individual models of the same brand.

                                                  A laptop that overheats is probably one of the biggest problems facing laptops today. Also, hot laptops can make you sterile.

                                                  IBM for durability.
                                                  Sony if you have other Sony Gear.
                                                  Sharp has some great laptops, as well as Fujitsu.
                                                  Dell, supposedly the best service. (probably because they are good at selling laptops that break?)

                                                  Most other brands you would have to look at each model individually as they vary greatly between each model line.

                                                        Toshiba 3 years running. NEVER had a problem with it. You could throw it off the roof, and it would be fine. My friend has had two dells with problems.

                                                            toshiba hands down. Every toshiba I've ever had, all the way back to my T3200 luggable 286 has been great and lasted forever.


                                                            Seriously the best hardware on the market.

                                                            Currently I have a toshiba tablet and it really takes a beating and I've had no problems with it.

                                                              Toshiba all the way. I had 2 toshiba laptops and never had a problem with it either.

The left click for the mouse is sticking from use, not jerking off and it's less than 2 months old. Oh and the finger print scanner function is crap. But the screen on it is BEAUTIFUL.

                                                                      But it all depends what you want it for... graphics, just email, light application? I'd avoid anything over 6lbs and make sure you check the battery life.

                                                                              Lexus exists so middle-class people and "new money" can own a fake luxury car. Certain laptop brands don't try to hide their pedigree. What if Lexus, for example, was marketed as the company who makes them -- Toyota. Whould it be a "status" symbol to own one?

                                                                                          I just ordered a new Tablet PC Customized it was around 3k.

                                                                                          I also have a Toshiba notebook that is about 1 1/2 years old. I have dumped a cooler of water on it, and dropped it several times.

                                                                                          Still runs great

                                                                                          I did have to get a plug replaced last year. I dropped it off at a ups store and they delivered it to my house about 3-4 days later. No hassles at all with customer service, they setup everything in a 5 min phone call. Not like some companies that will make you tear apart everything until they are sure that it is broke.

                                                                                          And I have 10 dells, they suck. Dell's service, sucks.
