What brand of laptop you guys Prefer????
 

I am giving the Dell 8500 to my dad i reformatted it n shit. I am looking for something lightweight and for traveling basic shit like checking email and so on. Lmk what you guys prefer and so on.

Word up

Toshiba Satellite

I have been pretty happy with the performance of my toshiba satellite

I like Dells and the Toshiba's. Had a Sony before my Dell and I wasn't that impressed with it. Much happier with the Dell.

I like my Sony Vaio for travel ..13.5 screen but really clear .. the one i had in the room last show ... :thumbsup

Mike i liked that I need something smaller though , my brother has a Dell 700M something along that line.....

for the price, you cant beat dell

i consider em throw aways. i mean they are like 400-500 bucks a pop now. fuck format, fuck upgrade, use em till they smoke then dump em, get 2 more.

fuck vaio fuck dell
IBM &
Toshiba are the best
fucking end of discussion :)

Very true, I think I paid like $3k for my Sony 3 years ago and sold it a year later, because I hated it. Picked up a dell for like $600 and have had it ever since. Dells rock.

My dell LP lasted for about 2 years or so also. I reformatted it and giving it to Ernie D.

so many choices........ :upsidedow

I am not sure how big of screen you need, but if you need lightweight, fast and reliable. Here is the best of the best in that area. IBM X SERIES They all weigh around 3lbs.

I love the HP laptops. they are great. But they are heavy

Have you thought about getting a MAC for travel. All you really will do when traveling, is to check mail. post on gfy stiff like that. So it wont be much of a change.

they have great thin laptops.

custom made are the shit.... i got a centrino 1.8ghz I bought 1.5 years ago... and it's working perfect....cost me about $2200

nah tbh never looked at Apples......How much of a bitch is it learning the OS n shit?

crazy!!!

i have a delll too, its a bit to big and heavy though

RRRED had a thread about this and everyone in the thread threw around "Dell, Sony, Apple".

I just got my first laptop six months ago and didn't go with any of those companies, even though the IT guys I work with recommended them. Once I found out that there are only a few companies that actually build the original parts that most main-stream, known dealers use: Those "alienware", "falcon-nw", "dell", etc, etc are all built from the same manufacturers who just add to it. Like "sager" being the base for some high-end laptops of which they just upgrade.

So I went to http://discountlaptops.com/ and chose an Asus z70 because it had everything I needed, was want I wanted in a portable computer and had a solid support base for troubles. **Note, apparently DELL's support is stellar (next day keyboard replacement, next day [whatever]), which I can't have with my generic laptop.

I fucking love my generic laptop. It's not bulky like the Dells, it doesn't suck up battery life like the Sony; it's just a solid laptop for what I wanted. The battery life rocks, the speed is stellar, my 2Gb of ram helps with anything I need; I could go on for a while about that shit.

Anyway, that's my story about the lappy I write this post with. When I need a next laptop, it won't be from a mainstream company. The price I paid for the hardware I have in this laptop far outshines any other mainstream company re-selling the same.

i just ordered a Dell lappy (should be here monday) but if i had the extra coinage to throw around, i would have sprung for a toshiba satelite. you cant go wrong with those. Dell was my 2nd choice. Toshiba would have been my first.

I think you used pete's PC ... mine was the little one on the round table not the desk ... it's a step above the smallest one they make.

Pentium M 725 (1.6 GHz), 512MB DDR SDRAM, ATI Mobility Radeon 9200 graphics, 13.3-inch WXGA, (1,280-by-800) display, 60GB hard drive (4,200-rpm), DVD-ROM/CD-RW drive, Centrino G 2200 wireless, system weight 4.2 pounds, travel weight 4.9 pounds, 53.3-Wh lithium-ion battery, two USB 2.0 ports, one FireWire port, Windows XP Home.

We bought a Toshiba laptop a few months back and its been a great system so far. In fact, I use it much more now than the desktop PC.

I love my sony vaio...From now on, I'll buy nothing but sony products unless something stellar comes out...In fact, i'm buying a new sony digital camera today...

The Toshiba Portege is very lightweight. You might want to check that one out.

If you're going to be traveling a lot, Sony has this itty bitty one that is very lightweight.

I am rough on laptops, so the slightly heavier Fujitsu has worked out very well for me....it's a 15 inch and weighs about 6 pounds. Good for travel and home, which is what I needed.

fujitsu :thumbsup

the sony i'm working on now is great ..

very small and light ... i got use to the screen size right away . :thumbsup

Use a tablet (tablet pc)...a straight slate without the keyboard..you'll never go back to a laptop again.

I love my Dell Latitude maxed out with ram, sucker runs faster than my desktops.

I've had it for two years and it still runs strong, keyboard still works properly, and no problems with the screen or flip end of it :)

Toshiba Satellites... I have always had them, since 97, and NONE of them have broken down, or given me any major problems.

TOSHIBA... Hands Down is the #1 Best Laptop Brand.
That's actually a fact, go to any 'computer-store person' / salesman or anyone who knows what there talking about and they'll say toshiba :)

I agree.. in a previous job I was a PC Tech and the toshibas were always the best. Its what I use now personally for travel.

Sony Vaio is the best latopt I have ever had!!

Of course, I take it everywhere from Starbucks to Internext, so "on the go" is my No. 1 priority.

Matt

Get one of the LG LSeries Got onw was never happier with my 8 hour bat life :)

Unfortunately I can not agree with that in my expirience as a tech in Future Shop, Toshiba warent that best at all. ofcourse they are beter then ACER's, but Id say that right now they are on the same level as the HP.

Buy an iBook, you wont regret it.

Toshiba all the way for me, i got a Toshiba laptop, Toshiba palm and Toshiba Gigabeat lol
need I say more

Toshiba. Bought mine in 1998 and I still use it for email/chat/etc. It's pretty much been turned on 24/7 since I purchased it and I've never had any problems with it, despite treating it very badly at times (dropped it, knocked it over, etc) ..

Toshiba's QUALITY.

sony sony sony

where did you steal that viao from crack head

Ibm Ibm Ibm Ibm Ibm

X60

As much as people dislike them, I have been very happy with my HP Pavilion. 15.5 inch screen and a gig of ram make it totally enjoyable. It is huge and heavy though...
