Sony if you have the money. And, this also depends on the use of the laptop (i.e. ultra-portable, portable, desktop replacement, gaming...)outcast wrote:
I'm kinda confused & I don't know what 2 get, I'm saving money 2 buy a new laptop, & there r million brands like, hp, LG, IBM, what is the best one of them all??
I'm hearing, hp is the best, don't know what 2 get???
I need ur opinions & thnx in advance.
Then, it is a Sony. I used and just bought the Sony SZ-480. This is one light (3.75lbs), powerful (almost desktop replacement has a GF vid card), and sexy (carbon casing w/ silver keys) laptop.

I guess Apple sound complicated 2 me.i can swear by Apple. i love my G4.
First time I heard about Gateway!!!hiya! hmm.. i kinda like Gateway. My brother has a Toshiba and it's ok, his girlfriend has the HP but she doesn't like hers-she says it runs too slow, but I'm guessing it might be the specs on her notebook. I have a Dell and it's ok, I'm neutral about it.. My friend has a Gateway and I actualy prefer that one the best. Though, hers is kinda old, it's still kicking. Hers has been thru a lot, bangs here and there and it's still kicking. so hope this helps. good luck on finding one that suits you..
I was thinking about Toshiba too!For me the best laptop would be a Toshiba. They lasts longer than anything I've ever had ... maybe because of the restore cd that comes along with it. But I think Gateway is also a good choice, it's actually my 2nd choice before deciding to purchase a Toshiba tablet pc.
there r too many advertisements about HP don't know yet, but Toshiba sounds good 2 me.outcast..
just for you dear I ask some member of my family who have experience about LP they told me that the best is ( HP & Toshiba) but don't ever buy Dell it's the worest as they said.
I already printed what u said, because I need it for my work too, I do take my work's stuff 2 my place 2 get it done, so I guess I will review ur post many time, thnx.I work as a system administrator where I encounter a large amount of computers
just in my daily work.
If you're not going to get a Mac (arguably the best computer since it can run
Windows as well as MacOS and build quality is usually very good) there's a
few options. The Macbooks start at just over $1000.
IBM (Lenovo) makes a laptop called a T-60 that's very good. The IBM
(Lenovo) machines have a tough, almost rubbery feeling durable outer
casing. Mine bounces around in the back of my car five days a week
as I travel to many of my companys' offices and it hasn't gone down yet.
The T60 has the Core2Duo processor (fast but doesn't use as much
electrical power and doesn't generate as much heat - important if you
are using a laptop).
Sony's are beautiful but they are expensive and I've heard the hinges
where the screen opens are somewhat delicate. Some of the keyboards
on these are a little on the small side too.
The latest HP's look okay but the ones that came out before this seemed
like they were imitating Dell - thick and bulky, probably because they had
the overly hot and power consumptive Pentium 4 chip in it. Some of the
newer HP's that are labeled with the Compaq brand look interesting too.
I've found the Toshiba machines to be okay, nothing special but they
seem to get the job done. Same with the Dells although some of the Dells
are really clunky with thick cases and seem overly heavy - I'm not sure
why they made the design decision to do that unless they also were using
older hotter Pentium 4's and they needed the space for air movement.
As far as Gateway, my co-worker B worked for them and he had
some interesting stories - apparently he felt that some of their older
hardware was better than what they make now - but I haven't seen a
recent Gateway in at least a year.
My advice? Avoid Pentium 4 chips for laptops!
I'd look at anything with a Core2Duo in it versus CoreDuo or any of the
older processors like Pentium M or 4 because the M and 4 chip (and the
D for the desktop line) is getting a bit long in the tooth now. Get at least a
gigabyte of ram, preferably two and maybe wait on Vista - XP Pro should
be sufficient for the moment.
Any more info needed? Let me know! I'd advise a decent video card in
the laptop because to view the dorama stuff you sometimes need some
high powered video processing but you might want to go to a local store
just to see what you have available in your area.
Not this time, I need for my collegeue & work stuff, But I don't mind if it was stylish,lo0o0lJudging by some of her previous posts...I THINK she'll be more into portability and style. That would mean going for a UMPC. I don't know how if UMPCs are being supplied to UAE yet. There are some sites that will import, though. This site sells most UMPCs that exist...

My favorite is the Kohjinsha SA1. Cheap and powerful enough for light usage.
You MAY want the HTC Shift if you want more flash. It's sleeker looking and running Vista (which may be good or bad depending on you). This is more expensive, though. Also, you'll have to wait a little bit for it to go on sale. I think some time this summer. ^_^
mmmm, IF Sony that great I have 2 save more money.InTr4nceWeTrust wrote:

If price isnt really a factor, I would go with Sony.The keys are full sized and the key tension is perfect.

FYI, I dont work for Sony. This is just my honest opinion. And, I went through like 6-7 laptops (HP, Acer, Toshiba, Dell) in the last 5 years. I am ghastly perticular..
I've owned over 10 dell laptops and never ever had a problem w/ them but I never had them for over 6months though. I upgrade every 6 months except for my current E1505 which I've had for a year w/o any problems. I did upgrade the processor to a T7400 from a T2500 though.Athaclena42 wrote:Avoid Dell notebooks... although their desktops are very nice and are used all over the place.

IMO, all restore discs suck. Yes, they put everything back to the way it was day one but you really don't want that because all Mfgs. put tons of crappy shareware and other stuff that you don't need on your PC and it slows it down like crazy. This is the reason why those Mac commercials make fun of the PC w/ the bloated fat guy. First thing I do w/ any new PC is run a program called PC de-crappifier and it removes most of the crap from your computer before using. It isn't perfect but what it doesn't remove, I remove manually.Athaclena42 wrote: I have a Toshiba now, with a Pentium M processor in it... I wish I could upgrade, but I have a 4 year in home warranty on it. But, the point is, it still works! I had some problems with the cooling until, but that was probably due to the very hot processor. But the thing hasn't kicked the bucket yet, or even come close. I love Toshiba's restore CD... it just puts everything back to the way it was when the computer was purchased, and the blue "ON" button is a source of constant amusement for me.
About Dell everyone I know was complaining about, so it's not in mind.Avoid Dell notebooks... although their desktops are very nice and are used all over the place. I had two and had nothing but problems with them, although that could have been due to a number of factors.

I'm still saving mony, anyway I'm still confused, I choose TOSHIPA, b/c I don't hear a lot of complaining about it!!!was just about to suggest Acer if you wanted it cheap and Asus if you wanted it good.
(I must confess to watching all the dramas on a Toshiba, but that was not really my choice)
I agree that Sonys look pretty... but don't offer much more functionality for their price. But they are flashy because they only offer high-end laptops. HPs are definitely nice. But for a good deal, sturdiness, and long-lastingness, definitely go with Toshiba. I have only ever had Toshiba and Compaq laptops (before it was bought be HP). The old compaq was very... not sturdy, but my Toshiba's have all lasted me three or four years, with decent functionality. I got rid of my last toshiba because the fan broke and I thought it was good opportunity to upgrade, but I sold it on ebay for about $400. And this was three years after I bought it for $700, and with a broken fan. So, I would say that Toshiba have the best value... almost like if you had a desktop and you just paid money to keep updating the parts.DMPA wrote:THIS IS ONLY AN OPINION! Well....it all comes down to what ur gunna be using it for. HP IS the best one out there, Apple's good, but not many options are given for it, so it's kinda alone aout there, and sony is well...not offending anyone i hope, but it's crap. It's kind of....all over adn no where. So i would say get an HP if u want it to work, get an Apple to look cool, and a sony....well....to waste some money i guess? once again, THIS IS ONLY AN OPINION! (don't thik i ever spelled it right)
My current Toshiba, I bought for $900 with very nice printer and wifi network router included (to use with the wifi card included, of course), and amazon.com still lists it for $999 a year after I bought it. (Although, amazon usually is overpriced on electronics.)
