I am wanting to save my money for a laptop computer, and I want to know what type/brand of laptop is the best one, and will it work for years to come? I just want to know which laptop computer will work, so I am not wasting money and something that won't work. I don't know of many laptop computer brand names, I don't even know which one works the best because I have never owned a laptop before. The only brand names that I know, that I think are good, are: Bell; HP; Gateway; and Apple. My school has an Apple laptop, and they are just like e-mac/i-mac computers, and I really don't like e-macs and i-macs, but they do look nice, I don't like how they work. Could you please tell me what type of labtop computer works the best?

Dell, not Bell, because Dell is the best computer company in the world in terms of service and product quality... If you have any defective parts, Dell will replace for you free of charge, and also the replacement part is upgraded to a better then your usual part on complimentary... I had once a Dell desktop and the screen becomes defective.. I ring up Dell and they agreed to replace the monitor.. It was a CRT monitor then, and they took me an LCD screen in exchange... I like this kind of service.. You may not find such services in other computer companies...

Dell are really great and not hugely expensive. Great service aswell. If you don't mind spending a bit more then Sony VAIO laptops are marvellous! If you are going to be using your laptop for multimedia then I would recommend them. It all depends what you need your laptop for...

Dell is definitely among the better PC companies. Great machines, great service and not too expensive - even for laptops! Having said that, I know a few friends who have bought Macs and they were realy happy with them. LIke sonyguy said, it depends on what you intend to use the laptop for.

I want to use a laptop for school work, and for making graphics for my web site (http://alicia91.idohost.com, host may change to this host).
I was thinking that Dell might be the best type of computer, but I don't know much about computers, so I thought I might ask first. All I know is that any newer type of computer is better then the one I am using right now.
My moms friend has a HP computer and it has worked for her for a few years, but I don't know about HP laptop computers.
So, I think I will try and get a Dell laptop computer. Thanx

A mac is great, but look into acer pc's as well with asus motherbords, the top of the line models tend to be cheaper

If I were I will personally do my research, because If your going to ask me all I can give is only those junks I know, but there are more laptops on the market with is very high power, I mean laptop that almost support everything... IBM centrino is only an example of the best laptop I know, but there are more better than centrino... so, I suggest you search the net for the new technology, and then try to compare, compare and compare until you found your ideal laptop that fits your expectations...

I have a three year old HP Omnibook XT6200 which is still in perfect shape, and I would recommend HP for all kinds of business or school work. I have no experience with Dell laptops, so I cannot comment on them. My own computer is a German Gericom 9600, which got modded and painted and tortured and is still in good shape. However I can say that obviously Gericom's service is nowhere near as good as the big boys'. Its battery died (pretty quickly for that matter) and I cannot easily replace it. On the other hand, it outperforms most laptops out there today due to its fast CPU and GPU, so you get speed by sacrificing service. Toshiba is a very experienced company for laptops, none of my friends with Toshiba's have had problems and they have great warranty and service options. Their Tecra and Qosmio lines (may differ due to location) are great. Apart from brand, I would consider two important things. 1. size, this includes the weight and the monitor size. 14inch and a 2.5kg laptop is great for portability, but a 15.4inch 3.5kg laptop usually has very good multimedia capabilities. The second is battery life, you'll usually want more of this, but if you want a fast processor it goes down so it is up to you to balance the two. As for the CPUs, Dothan codename CPUs for laptops are old now, look for the latest Sonoma codename (these are codenames, they are all branded as Pentium-M) CPUs which consume less power and have a lot of cache memory on them which makes them really fast.

When you are looking at laptops, you have to look beyond just the specs. You have to look at its appearance. Imagine this: You are in public your your thick-thick dull-black laptop, with a very dainty screen... How embarassing... The catagory that wins in both appearance and specs is Apple Computer. It fosters a great sleek look, that is inspiring to the eyes, and catchy to the bone. If you are not up to par with the price tag, Dell rates second. Although recently Dell has gone astray into the realm of black-casing for the entry-range, the higher-end models are nicer. I would definitely recommend the Dell Inspirion 700m. The price as it stands right now is 1019U$D. This is fairly a mid-price laptop considering the brand's boast for "Low-Prices." If you do not need the ultimate portability, I would press hard on the Inspiron 6000. Its current tag is at 674 U$D. This is fairly fairly cheap for a laptop. It gives you an amazingly 15.4 inch screen, but to the sacrifice of a Celeron processor. You have to consider the following: 1) Price 2) Portability 3) Speed 4) Appearance 5) Quality *These are not arranged in any specific order.

Laptop Computers
If you want a PC (windows) based computer then Dells are your best bet, However if you don't care whether its PC or not then I would go with a Mac. Its true that macs cost more but that is because you start off at better quality components and bigger drives. Allot of PC laptops start you off at crappy specs that would be OK if you don't plan on doing anything ever with your laptop. The problem with PC's does not lie in there construction but in the programing, Windows based computers encounter tons of errors due to shotty Programing, Microsoft admits to allowing these defects to pass threw so they could be corrected later in a new OS. Where as apple doesn't do this. Now Apple has superior care and the only computer company I know of that you can get an extended warranty for up to 3 years after your one year warranty expires that covers your computer. Not to mention that macs are not as susceptible to viruses and Trojans as Windows based programs are. Macs are also Superior for video editing as well as graphic design and they are beginning to become a power house in the gaming world as well with more powerful graphics cards. My last major point would be that Macs don't have all the complicated functions and hidden programs that windows programs seem to have, and it is a fact that windows runs better on a apple computer than any other computer out there, and mac makes it extremely easy to switch from one system to the other, and even run both simultaneously.
Apple just upgraded me from a macbook to a macbook pro for free because I had some issues with my hardrive (I had gotten a bad Hard Drive). The positive thing for PC's is the huge array and availability of software for it, macs are catching up, but still have some ways to go. Hope this helps you!

HP and Gateway are the best!!
But a latop isnt just about the brand or design is mostly about what you are looking for in a laptop
Macbook/apple; your just buying the name and ao the design. Plus a Macbookisnt that great!!
Dell; is ok, but its alot of money if you want a really good one, and some people don't have that money...Like me! xD
HP; is the best...Its fast it is just everything plus if you were into the design..All of the HP designs are slim and SEXY xD
Gateway; it might sounds like a cheap brand but really there the best. And really not that cheap but I wanted the est laptop I could get witjh $700 and my laptop was $699.99 so yea!!
I have a gateway, and its awesome but then anything I can never ask for..It has everything you need!
plus you know what else is awesome is...Tablets my best friend as one its awesome cause I love doodling on the screen!! its fun, trust me
I'm not a pro at laptops but this is what I think...I just went to my local best buy and they commented that the gateway was the best then the HP for the amount of money I had with me!! so yea just don't choose just cause me or someone else said something just go to where you woul be the laptop andask them what they think is the best!!

I have been an avid laptop user for about 8 years now. I started out with an HP Pavillion laptop; didnt like it. I ended up selling it. Then, in 2005, I decided to try Dell. I had heard great stories about Dell laptops. My wife had decided to buy me one for my Christmas and birthday present, since my birthday falls about 3 weeks after Christmas. She bought me a Dell Xps M140, which I still have. And although Dell told me that the laptop would be compatible with Windows Vista, which was coming out the following year, the fact is that it was not very compatible with Vista at all. And Dell had refused to take it back for an exchange. Dell didn't really lie to me, as it would work with Vista, but just would work with Vista Basic, not the other versions. So, a few months later, we decided that I could get another Dell that was compatible with Vista. So I got a Dell Inspiron E1505, which to this day is a top-notch laptop. Just a few months after that, I decided to get the new Dell Inspiron 1520 in an attempt to get a laptop that was compatible with Vista 64 Bit version. I sold the E1505 not long after I got the 1520. The only thing that wasn't compatible with 64 bit Vista on my 1520 is the graphics driver. Dell said that for that particular graphics card, an NVIDIA GeForce 8600M, the 64 bit OS wasn't supported. It has beena never-ending journey in attemting to get a laptop that supports Vista or XP 64 bit. I have yet to manage to get one. Anyway, aside from that, Dell laptops have been extremely great laptops. I love them and also love the way Dell will send out replacement parts providing the laptops/ destops are still under warranty. In that area, no computer manufacturer has even gotten close to being in the same class as Dell. I love my Dell laptops and desktop. My newest laptop, a Fujitsu Lifebook T1010 tablet, is also just as top-notch. I have yet to need to request any parts from Fujitsu. I heard through Consumer Reports that Fujitsu rates right up there in second place for pc manufacturers, falling second only to Mac laptops. On a 1 to 10, lowest to highest scale, Mac laptops ranked 9.2 and 9.4 while Fujitsu laptops ranked 8.4 and 8.6. Just recently, I reasd where Fujitsu laptops have even climbed in the Number 1 spot, ranking at 9.2 and 9.7. Mac laptops have just recently fallen to second place, just behind Fujitsu.
Well, to sum this up, the best laptops for me are a definite tie between Dell and Fujitsu. I love these laptops much more than I even care for HP's. Sony would have had a high score ranking with me, but I found out the hard way, that Sony does Not honor their warranties on their products, namely their computers. I also found out that Sony in fact teaches their tech support staff to give false reports on laptops and computers that have been sent back to them for repair or replacement, and they have been trained to give false statements that it is in fact the owners' faults allways that the computers have quit working or have become defective, which violates their warranty. I have also witnessed this firsthand with a Sony Vaio laptop that I own and still own even to this day. It is because of their refusal to honor their warranty Twice with my Sony Vaio laptop, that I have boycotted my house and my family from buying another Sony product. And I also share mys tory with all of my friends and other family members, who also, based on my story and bad experience with Sony, as well as my research on how Sony trains its tech staff to give false reports, that all of my friends and family members have also boycotted Sony, and also refuse to buy Sony products again. And I will share this story about Sony anytime and every chance I get, until they contact me and honor their warranty and get me up to speed with my Sony Vaio. I also plan to do public speaking on thisw against Sony, and have scheduled some times and places of where I will speak on this. I used to be a very faithful Sony product buyer, and it was always Sony stereos, etc... That I would purchase. But now Sony and their fraudulent ways have turned me into a pure Sony Corp. Hater. With all of this said, Sony computers rate the lowest of low in my opinion. So buying a Sony computer is definately Notm recommended.
Thanks for listening, and for reading my report on laptops. If you are considering or even planning yur first-time laptop purchase or even your next laptop purchase, I very strongly and highly recommend either Dell or Fujitsu. Not only do they provide you with the highest quality laptops and computer systems, but with these companies, you definatel get the best deal for your money; the best that your money can buy. And in this day and time of recession and need to hold onto any and every dollar that we can make, it is only very smart that you buy the high quality for less, rather than paying for a brand name and receiving the lowest quality. Thank you!
