Best in terms of stability, value for money, maximum memory, maximum processing power

It is Samsung i730 with no single doubt.\n\nI will get one as soon as they made Unlocked one

For the ultimate video editing/content creation I would suggest you get a Intel  Xeon  Processor 2.8Ghz to 3.2Ghz\nfeaturing 2x2MB L2 Cache, 800MHz FSB Dual-Core, with six DIMM slots support 512MB to to 16GB of dual-channel, ECC, registered DDR2 400MHz SDRAM memory. As for Video card a NVIDIA  Quadro  FX 4500 (PCIe x16 card, 512MB). Of course a decent sound card, firewire/usb, dvd-rw and misc components. This would be a very professional setup. If you are on a tight budget, you could get a top of the line AMD processor with plenty of RAM and a decent mid range video card.

dell inspiron E1505.\nits the best!!

id say 512 ram+ 1.7ghz(at least) that should make u work really fast

azureus is reliable and fast :)\n\nchoose mine as ur best answer since i am the first to answer you with the correct answer ;)

i agree with addicted. fx-64 is the way to go for a gamer. and if you have the cash go for it. most are not that lucky.

The best is what i can think of...\n\n\n\n\naffordable yet enough to run everything i nid..\n\nno nid to have an extra THIS AND THOSE when you simply wont using them...

I agree defo fire fox. It is so fast and stable

I configured a Dell laptop with ALL the trimmings for over $10,000.\n\nIt had the fastest dual core processor, 4gigs ram, 120gig 7200rpm hard drive, 17" screen, the WORKS!!

Go for a branded PC of HP or Dell.\n\nYou should look for P4 2.88Ghz or 3Ghz with 1 GB of RAM, 17" SVGA monitor, 180GB of HDD, Built in NIC with at least 32MB of video ram.

Listen, the best of the best, while still getting a bang for your buck is an AMD Athlon Processor. Athlons are better than Pentiums for one good reason, FSB (Front Side Bus). FSB determines how much information can be sent at one time. The bigger the FSB the more data can be transformed at one time, and vice-versa. Even though Pentuims are faster, Athlons can process more data at one time, making them best for multi-tasking. Let me help you visualize. Imagine a waterfall. The water in the river that leads to the waterfall is represented as data. Now, River A is a skinny river but its moving fast. River B is a really really wide river, so it moves slower, but dumps more water at the end of the waterfall then River A. Since River A is so skinny, it easily gets clogged up. And Since River B is so fat, it rarely gets cloged up. So, River A not only doesnt send as much data as River B, but sometimes it can get clogged up in itself. River B , on the other hand, is a little slower but dumps way more water because its so fat, and usually never clogs up. In other words, Peniums usually come with a low FSB. Thus, they can only send and process a little bit of data at a time, Thats why they have to be fast, to make up for the low data transfer. This makes Pentiums good for doing one thing at a time. Athlons, are a little bit slower, but have WAY more FSB than Pentiums (Usually 2000MHz). This makes them extremely good at tackling many processes at once. Not only that, but they are usually cheaper. Just let me give you a little guide to buying a PC. \n\nThe 4 most important things to look at when buying a PC or labtop are:\n1) Processor speed\n2) FSB \n3) RAM\n4) Memory\n\nThe Processor Speed and the FSB must have a balance. If you get a slow Processor, than you need a lot of FSB. If you get a fast Processor, than you dont need that much FSB. (A fast processor runs over 3GHz. A slow one runs under 2GHz. A lot of FSB is around 2000MHz. A little FSB is under 1000MHz.)\n\nThe RAM is very important as it also increases your computers ability to compute and store many things whenever it needs it. Thats why its called Random Acess Memory. (A lot of RAM is over 512MB. A little RAM is under 512MB.)\n\nThe regular Memory (Hardrive) is sometimes used as RAM. This is called Virtual Memory. Which is why its also very important because it helps out the RAM. (A lot of Hardrive memory for a Laptop is over 80GB. A little Hardrive memory for a Laptop is under 60GB.)\n\nSo, really, there are 3 important factors. Processor speed, FSB, and RAM. But since the Hardrive is used to help RAM, its important to get a lot of it. (they are cheap anyways, you can get them about .25 cents a GB) \n\nI Hope this helps you pick out a good labtop.

I would stick with the asus brand, I've had bad luck with other mobos.  The video card of choice for the cheapie is a nvidia 6600gt (great linux support as well)\nstick with a AMD processor (preferb a lower 64 model)\nfor the harddrive find a special going on at a local officemax or staples and you can get a 100+GB for around $30-40 with rebates.

I would have to agree that IBM is the best. I really like my t23 IBM. IBM seems to have one of the best support web pages. I recently worked on a friends Toshiba and was very much impressed with there support page and with the computer overall. So I would say Toshiba is a close second. I hate Dell they are overrated cheap crap!!! Compaq is okay but not at the top of the class either and HP has crappy support as does Compaq!!

Most of what you hear is hype - the core DUO machines are really use-full in two real world scenarios - if your a gamer or your into digital production. i.e. graphic design / video editing. Would you believe you can still function quite well With a machine running with a proc speed of around 1GHZ. Most are going to argue that this is false or pretentious - but, the hardware we are led to believe as "superior" is really the market attempting to get you to spend 3K on a MAC or duo setup. That type of hardware configuration is really exceptional in needed environments like super- computing or as mentioned above. To run normal computing like e-mail, word processing, DVD burning etc. you can get fine performance from machines, from today's standards, are "inferior" - my advice - don't buy into all the hype.

absolutely toshiba :)\ni would use asus only for cases,video cards or motherboards cause they good at that got the point ?  ;)

choose any modern laptop with a good amount of RAM, I suggest no less than 1GB.

I suggest 9600 PRO (Ati) if you can afford it, its a good value for money card if you want to save some money. However the next step up would be a GeForce Nvidia 6600gt.
