dell makes nice laptops

go with a dell

had a gateway and hated it. had my dell over a year now, great buy!

I have a couple of DELL laptops. One of them I take everywhere with me and it has hit the floor board of my car more than a couple of times and still keeps ticking.

DUDE...Your getting a DELL :thumbsup

I need long battery life... I don't mind if it is 2 batteries... but I need big time battery life


What do you think

I love my Dell! Second Dell laptop and I'm using it for my primary computer. So nice to be able to shut it and take it everywhere w/o having to copy files :)

You cant go wrong with the High End IBM Thinkpads, I use mine to edit with avid xpress pro. But you will not be able to find a dual procesor laptop from any of the brand name manufactors, only specialty laptops have dula processors in them and they are usually a never heard of brand. If you want a IBM hit me up i get employess prices since i worked with ibm for 8 years

Besdies the specs that I mentioned... what other things can you Webmasters think of that would be needed to be able to work on the road and be totally mobile???
What shit do you use?

definitely suggest Dell, haven't had any problems with mine.
