Whats a good laptop for the price and power
 

Looking to buy my First laptop in YEARS!


Looking to spend 1200-1800

I think toshiba makes some good inexpensive laptops.

14" powerbook my friend

i have the 5310 model of that laptop, and it is amazing...not one problem with it at all ever

Never like e-machines

the new ones are rated some of the best laptops for the money

the old/first models they put out sucked and were horrible, but they regrouped and now are rated some of the highest ratings on cnet and other shopping sites

check them out further, you CAN NOT beat them at all

I have this laptop, bought another 1 gig, put in a 8mb 7200 rpm hd, and it outperforms my desktop xp3000, 9600xt 1.5gig, quad 8mb's... suprisingly enough.

I use it for everything now. =) Renders and Encodes quite a bit faster.

There's only 1 laptop that games better, and thats the Sager/Alienware manufacturers, which is mainly because of hte higher clockable vid card.

CPU tests show this rocks it. =)

Get the new Sony Viao's. I think they run about 2000$ though. Defiently worth it. Mine runs very great, wouldn't trade it for anything else

I got a dell latitude with a 15inch monitor a few months and i love it..... in your price range too...

I would highly recommend either an Apple iBook or Powerbook. They both ARE the best laptops made. But the iBook is really a great value.. under 1k.
