Whats a great laptop to buy?
 

Hey,

Im looking to buy a new laptop, it need to be powerful and reliable.
I want to be able to do all my work on it when I am away from home
which is a lot of the time.

Any recommendations and what sort of price would I be looking at?

Cheers

You get what you pay for!

Can you install both Vista and Mac system on it and switch on the launch?

Sony Vaio

I bought one for 3k euros ; and the fucking thing cant connect to a wireless network :( :( :(


called support ; they have no solutions :( :helpme

I use a HP Pavilion dv9000, i like it, works great and wireless ofcourse

Yes. You can also have both running at the same time (Vista on screen #1 and Mac OS X on screen #2 if you have dual screens).

Sony Vaio for sure.

I have a Dell XPS 1710 loaded down nicely and I love it

I bought it on Ebay a few months back for $2900 on Ebay fully loaded. The same laptop on Dell's site was over $4000 (at the time I got mine), NOT including the tax. -

I guess that Ebay can scare people due to the amount of money being dished out, but sometimes the savings are VERY tempting. The seller I bought from had 1100 (99.7%) feedback, so I trusted him.

I love my Asus laptop, z70v.
Solid machine; sleek and powerful.

why 2x 1.6Ghz ?

Im not from Germany but maybe I can order online and get it sent to me..
Do you know the model number?

oh z70v i guess is the model number..

Gateway mx6931 for sure...check it out

I want fast CPU, at least 1GB ram (2GB would be better), 15.1 screen is fine,
100GB'ish harddrive, 512gfx card is fine..

ATM I have an Acer Aspire 5503WXMi

i like my thinkpad.. check www.lenovo.com

Mines a year old and I think my model now would be an Asus z70va, or something, which hase a different screen that some like and some don't. Asus also has a 17" unit out which looks pretty tasty, though pricey. I'm not a Mac fan, and was hesitant about a "generic", but after buying one I'm sold on customizing them via online sellers.

I bought a HP Pavilion dv8000 like
3 months ago.

Yours is bigger than mine.

Damn I hate to admit that :1orglaugh

I dont really want a big screen as I travel a bit and it will end up being
a pain in the ass.
My screen at the moment is 14.1 which is plenty big enough.

dell.. and pick your own specs

I love my sager.

Thinkpad T Series :)
