looking to get a laptop, any suggestions?
 

not sure what i should get.

I bought a Dell and hate the thing. Replaced it with a moster Alienware laptop and hate that thing even more. Got an HP Pavilion and love it.

i saw a HP at circuit city with the 17" hi def screen that i liked and it was only $850.

Depends what u want to use it for......... I've got a monster savrow (UK) laptop,3.2ghz, 2gb ram, 17 inch screen etc etc....... cost me c$4k....
But the last laptop i bought 3 months ago was a IBM X21 (new/old stock), just for surfing the net on my knee whilst watching tv.... only got about 750k ram and 20mb hard disk and cost me c$200
Boy do I love that X21

forgot to say... savrow fries my thighs if i have it on my lap, and u need to be a weightlifter to lug it around..

i am using macs since over 15 years. personally i think they just got better.
and since they switched to intel processors you can also run windows xp on them, if you have to.

That is why I hated the Dell and Alienware. This HP has a Dual Core, so it runs cool, has a 17 inch screen and all the bells I'll need for what it needs to do (i.e. e-mail, web dev, and everyday business stuff). And the thing only cost me $1250 at CompUsa. All my other work such as video editing and encoding is done on desktops.

You can't go far wrong with an IBM laptop. What's your budget?

i bought a siemens fujitsu HD laptop for 1.2k euros a bit ago

works like a charm and the service is great


i can recommend you siemens

about 1k to 1.3k

any laptop over 2k$ is more then good:)

any laptop over 2k$ is more then good:)

What did make you hate the Dell?

Is that USD or GBP?

get an ACER they last long :thumbsup

MacBook or MacBook Pro

Mac is good

I got a dell inspiron 9400 loving it.
shoulda got a diffrent screen, but not the end of the world for me..

It was slow for a high-end laptop (XPS).

I got HP here
100gig hd, 1gig ram, some sort of video card, high def wide screen, 64 bit athlon, its a beast and I love it

i think that was the one i was looking at. i think im gonna go with it.

Thinkpad. Built like a tank.

Ok, for 1000 bucks you will get an used, in warranty, IBM t42p (or 41-43p) on ebay - just go get one. And, in any case, dont buy an Acer.
