Good laptop brand?

Question

What are some good names in laptop computers?

The only computers I won't consider are macs and dells.

Answer 1

mine is a sony vaio.....i love it

Answer 2

Sony is the PC I would suggest - I've had two vaio's that have been workhorses.



However, its too bad you won't consider a mac, because I have a few of those too, they are leaps and bounds above any PC I have ever used. - and don't give me the software debate, virtual pc works so well these days, you'd think you were running a pc at the time you need to use "pc only" software.

Answer 3

OK...so lets start off since i just bought a laptop and was researching for 3 months on these



Apples are terrible ..The system in it is confusing and terrible...they are also the most expensive and lots of programs wont work on it...price:expensive $1500 to $4000



Hp's are more of a student pc...small , not much memory, security and office programs... they are fairy cheap (500 to 1500)

but i would not buy them



Compaq and hp are combined companies now but compaqs are a really low class laptop....they are cheap as hell but decent quality...these are good for a low budget....$400 to $1000...I would buy if I didnt have that much of a need for them but the basics.



Dell's..the ones you wont buy...to tell you the truth these are probably the best option even though i decided on a gateway...

dell's are met with their price..if you pay high for them you will get extremely good quality..if you pay low such as 500 to 600 dollars then you will still get good quality..I almost decided on one but i wanted something with a little more sting that was perfect for me...but anyways...dells can vary from $500 to $3000 dollars..try dell.com and take a good look,,its also great because you can customize it...



GATEWAY..The one i decided on was a gateway that was on sale for $1000 but was actually retailing for $1500..insanely fast speed...intel centrino core 2 duo..and about 250 g of memory...

Gateways are best for home, pc replacement, or if you are a teenage or young adult that wil download movies and music....they are perfect size and i would advise to you...they go from $749 to $3000...



Toshiba's are for businessmen and have lots of security features in them such as fingerprint recognition and voice recognition...these are very expensive up to $8000 dollars..





ONE MORE THING: When you do buy your computer...ask for windows xp instead and a extra copy of vista....because i am having problems with my webcam and limewire on vista...



THANKS HAVE FUN PICKING

Answer 4

Acer (Cheapest) on the lower model in the 500's I have an Acer Aspire 3690 Windows VISTA , Toshiba, Compaq

Answer 5

Hewlett Packard are my favorite.



I had a Compaq Pressario a long time ago and it lasted a whole 7 years (it overheated and the back melted so that was my fault)



I currently have an HP Pavilion dv9000 and it is amazing; I absolutely love it! It is a desktop replacement (a bigger version of a laptop, but still portable) and it works great.

Answer 6

I'm really, really enjoying my HP dv9000t series. Nice 17" screen, amazing processing, and great graphics. Got it for about 2K and I can play World of Warcraft and iTunes at the same time without a bit of lag.



It's also the number one selling computer, or at least it was back in December.

Answer 7

HP, i own one and i was going to go with a dell and the guy a circuit city like yelled at me saying HP is the best way to go

Answer 8

Apple <3

Answer 9

Well i have no idea why you wont consider a dell. They are really the best. But the next best brand i would trust is HP...they can be a little pricey but they are good quality and reliable

Answer 10

You are right Dells, suck... Lenovos are getting worse HP are ok... Apple is still the best.. to bad you don't want to support an American Company

Answer 11

We got Averatec. I had never heard of it but we love it and it's done great, it's got a 17 in. screen. Do not get a Compaq Presario- 2 people I know had problems with it.

Answer 12

Try asking a salesperson in a shop that sells all/most brands of laptops and ask for the pros and cons of the brands.

i recommend Fujitsu.

Answer 13

Dell is good(i got one 2 weeks ago)...But if u got the budget, aim for toshiba's/fujitsu's/IBM's... They are abit expensive but they and stand up to rough using.



Sony if u want to be trendy...

Answer 14

if u want cheap: dell, Compaq.



If u want blazing fast, cool looking, and expensive: mac book, mac book pro, vaio.



If u want decent performance: hp, IBM, or Toshiba.

Answer 15

apple computers are so far acknowledge as the most powerful computer, that is in terms of speed, memory, and general quality...but i prefer sony vaio's because of their designs.
