I am buying a laptop today some advise would be very helpful
 

I posted a thread about this a while back but held off on buying my laptop until now and since the GFY search function is not working I can not look back at the thread. I want to buy a laptop today. I have the Sony Vaio desktop and love it and was thinking about the sony Vaio notebook.

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:thumbsup

u can read alot of stuff on cnet.

buy whichever one match ur needs, not just to match ur desktop.

i like my toshiba (thanks ninjasteve)

but for online... since maybe ur buying a sony, maybe check out bestbuy, frys and maybe amazon? they might have mail in coupons.

Only advice i can give you is DO NOT BUY COMPAQ.

My broke i year after i bought it so as my friend's one.

Heard sony vaio are reliable but expensive;)

Buy VAIO or THINKPAD is my advice:thumbsup

My pleasure chowda, you rock!

i m toshiba all the way !!!!:thumbsup

HP is no. 1

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 :2 cents:

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 :)

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

as long as it has the "any key"

I just got this one last week.

HP Pavilion zd7260us Notebook
Intel Pentium 4 Processor, 3.2GHz, with Hyper-Threading Technology, 1gig RAM, 80GB Hard Drive, 17-inch WSXGA+ TFT Display, DVD+RW Drive, Windows XP Home Edition

COMCRAP

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.

get an Apple Powerbook 17" and you wont be disappointed

spent an hour comparing toshiba, sony, hp, samsung,asus etc etc.....

the best computers value/performance/price are toshiba with no hesitation
