I am a Toshiba guy all the way, i get excellent performance out of mine and I found the price to be decent compared to the ProGen I bought in 1996 for 3,100!

Well, on the over all market are my pics.\n\nDell - Great value all around. Wonderfull desktops. The Optiplex series has been a consistantly good system. Their laptops are pretty good too.\n\nApple - Well there's just no competition for these guys, just one small problem. $$$$$$$ Way to much! AND NO, I DON'T WANT A FREE IPOD WITH MY PURCHASE!\n\nToshiba - I've got old ones, and I have a brand new Satilite M55. There like my Toyota, I'll never get rid of em'. Toshiba, from my personal experience makes some of the best performing, if not, the longest lasting lap tops I've ever worked with. If you buy a new Satalite, you may find your self no longer using your desktop. \n\nHP - Decent desent desktops. (Personal experience). Good Laptops, from what I hear. The older HP's that were on socket 370 were fantastic. Mine is 6 years old and still runs great. Their new line of PDA's though, those are realy nice. I own one, and it's replaced almost all the tasks I use to use my laptop for. All the minor ones at lease.\n\nThe best home PC however would have to be the ones you build your self. They can be painfull to work with at times, but once you get one put together that works, it's a realy neat feeling to have it and use and to be able to stick it to everyone else who gets ripped of by Dell! (just kidding)

Best value, 100% of the time on notebooks, is Toshiba.  I've recommended them to a few people, and every one of them that bought one has been completely satisfied with it.  By the way, people usually don't sell a laptop (they're so expensive in the first place) until there's something wrong with it.  I would either buy a new, but not top of the line model, or used if I can test it out first.

The specs are great. Make sure you shop around for the best deal first try PC World and http://www.dabs.com but you can't get a laptop of much better quality than that.\n\nHope this Helps!

for the best value/performance ratio, i suggest you try checking out aldi or lidl... i know it sounds crazy, but they actually use good quality components from well-known manufacturers such as pioneer and samsung... you don't end up spending money on a brand name.\n\ni got my laptop from lidl about 18 months ago and it was as good a spec as anything out there - and it's still up there, no problems whatsoever.\n\nit also has a three year guarantee, which dell will charge several hundred quid for...\n\notherwise,  toshiba machines are generally regarded as being very reliable. \n\nof course, if you're not doing a lot of gaming, pretty much any laptop will do the trick nowadays. i would advise against a laptop with shared graphics memory however...\n\ntry and get one that has its own dedicated graphics card and video memory...

Depends on what you want to use your laptop for, and how much you want to pay!\n\nAlso depends on choice of operating system - Windows or Linux or Apple !!!!\n\nIn my experience i suggest you take a look at the following which have performed excellently and good to high reliability -\n\n- Power Graphics, for Gaming - Alienware\n\n- For Multimedia: Sony Vaio\n\n- Desktop Replacement, including P4 processor - HP\nBut Heavy and Hot\n\n- Portable Laptop, long battery life, for business use: Dell\n\n- Ultralite portable: Toshiba Portege\n\n- Roadwarrior, Resilient, Longest Shelf and Battery Life, Most Optimized Performance : IBM Thinkpad\n\n- Rich schoolkid whose parents buy you a laptop and they have kind hearts but not too much idea of the real world or stuff on computers (or they work in education) - Apple :o)\n\nLowest reliability was Toshiba, then Dell, then IBM and Sony. Some Dell models such as Dell D400 (no longer available new) has been as rock-solid as the Sony and windows XP Professional on it has never crashed. Overall best performer is IBM Thinkpad series, but their speakers are not that good.

Not bad, but here's what I'd look for:\n\n- Processor: Intel Centrino or AMD Turion 64. Sempron or Celeron are just too limited.\n\n- RAM 512MB is OK, but I'd go at least 1GB if possible.\n\n- I'd also consider some of the better-known brands like HP or Dell or Lenovo (IBM) Also, if you'd consider refurbished models, ecost.com has some good deals...

Right now I like this Acer laptop available from CompUSA which includes an Intel Pentium M Processor 725 at 1.6GHz, with Centrino Technology, 512MB RAM, 80GB Hard Drive, 15.4-inch WXGA TFT Display, DVD+/-RW Drive, Windows XP Home Edition for $700, this deal would be very hard to beat, http://www.compusa.com/products/product_info.asp?product_code=332687&pfp=BROWSE\n\nAs for buying a laptop from eBay, I wouldn't, you don't know what condition it is in (besides what the seller tells you) and you have to bid on it or use the buy it now option which is usually more and if you bid on it you can't be sure that you will get it.\n\nThe Acer laptop I listed above is a very good value and is one of my favorites right now.

If your primary activity will be internet browsing you don't need to buy a $1300 laptop of any brand. I agree you only need to make sure it has good connectivity options. After that, just think about the size want and you'll be good to go. The best deals right now are in 14" and 15". I would recommend a sub-$1000 H-P/Compaq or Dell. Acer will work as well, although their service isn't as responsive as H-P and Dell.

I believe the best answer to give you is:\n\n"It depends"\n\nThe main thing that usually holds true with laptops is the more functionality you have, the heavier the computer.\n\nI would say spend whatever your budget allows.  Buy from a known name as well.  I would recommend Dell, HP, Sony, etc.\n\nAlso, keep in mind, whatever you buy now is pretty much what you are stuck with for the long run.  There are very few parts that can be upgraded on a laptop.  The main one being RAM.\n\nHope this helps!

Apple, Lenovo, or HP.  \n\nAlso consider Toshiba, Dell, Acer, and Gateway.  Oh yeah look at the Vaio's too!  Every brand I've mentioned so far has at least one dope model.  And just because someone has had a bad experience with a brand doesn't mean you'll have the same experience.  Keep all your options open.\n\nYou have to do some research and figure out what you're going to need in terms of size and power (and other things that I'm forgetting at the moment).  Then look at the notebooks from the brands I've mentioned, find the models that suit your needs, and compare those models until you discover which one is perfect for you.\n\nBTW I have a Fujitsu P7120D and I'm in love with it.

If you are talking about notebook pc's then DELL is the leader but if you are looking beyond windows and a more powerfull OS then look at Apple. They don't have the cheapest notebooks but best value for money. 12" ibook is the best in that class.

The best Laptop is the one which meets your demand and you like most!\nFor example: HP laptops are elegant, but had some glitches from time to time, but if that doesnt bother you, they are good.\nIn general: you should set your needs before u buy one, like: do u travel a lot? if yes, then u need a light weighted and GOOD battery life laptop.\nIf you work in graphics& multimedia, you need a strong processor with powerful VGA card. \nIf u want it for Internet and such stuff, you wont be in need for a Super or Ultra fast processor, i mean a P III will do the job with 256 RAM will be more than enough..\nSo,, your needs dectates your choice..\nbest luck

Dell Inspiron or Toshiba lapotops are a good buy. But as someone rightly said; its a mix of your budget and computing needs.
