What would be the best laptop computer on the market currently?

mac book pro ( www.apple.com ) by a long shot ( short of that I would suggest the new hp or sony intel duo latops as they are dual core :)\n\nBest place for price and details would be there websites ( www.hp.com or www.sony.com ) I am assuming those are the right sites, if not google them :)\n\nNot sure if hp have brought out dual core ones but I know sony have. also samsung and IBM are 2 other good manufacturers so they would be worth while looking at.\n\nIf you want reviews, get the whatlaptop magazine ( www.whatlaptop.co.uk )\n\nThats wrong with regards to macs being expensive ( compare the cost of a mac versus the cost of a pc ) you have to buy windows xp pro , as well as the software with the laptop ( normally you only get xp home with a laptop ) and even then you still have to buy firewalls, anti virus unless you use free ones.\n\ncompare the license costs of mac os x versus xp pro professional ? Big difference ...... I think so !! \n\nNow how much does the software come to on a mac versus on a pc ?\n\nOk you have to buy office if you want to use it and virtual pc ( ilife06 you get for free if you buy a mac in the first place )\n\nBut buying office you would have to do when you get a pc anyway and the same goes for virtual pc.\n\nOn a mac you get a firewall as part of the os ( You do on windows but the windows firewall and antivirus and securtity sucks in a word )\n\nI mean compare the cost of a mac book pro ( £1700 pounds ) if you go for the higher end one versus how much a sony or samsung or any other windows laptop would cost ( obviously choosing a high end windows laptop ) as the mac book pro range are the high end of the macs, there are also ibooks and power books if we are talking laptops here ) so take them into consideration as well.

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

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...

I suggest you to go for HP...simply they are the best in Laptops for the past 10+ years....their support through out lifetime is another asset...they are technically advanced hence rated best.....if you are looking for cheaper one....then Dell could be your option.\n\nGood luck.\n:)

Intel Core 2 Duo for laptops.\nIntel Core 2 Extreme QX6700 for desktops.\n\nAMD doesn't even come close.

Getting the best laptop in the market is one thing, outperforming a powerful desktop completely another. Here's the best available around $1500\nIntel Core Duo T2500 2.0 Ghz\n1GB DDR2 67 Mhz RAM\n80 GB UATA Hard Disk\n256 MB ATI Mobility Radeon X1400\nLaptops usually come with 4 or 5 USB 2.0 ports and many 18-in-1 memory card readers are available today.

The answer will change depending on who you ask. Sony laptops do look the nicest but they are also the most expensive (which doesn't always mean its the best). The Best laptop for price is probably Toshiba but a good BenQ laptop is also very good value. Try and stay away from dell and gateway

HP would be the best option for you

For anyone looking for a monster laptop without extreme pricing, I'd suggest www.xoticpc.com\n\nYou can customize a very powerful machine and less cost than alot of the competition.  When they start putting out dual core machines running Vista, I'll be buying from them.

If the money is not an important factor for that and also you don't need a number one monitor (LCD) go ahead with an IBM Think Pad T Series. It's the perfect choice.\nIf the LCD is an important factor get a one that has a technology in LCD (like as Toshiba and SONY).\nAlso the following specifications are highly recommended in your laptop:\nHDD: (No matter what's the size but) at least 5400 RPM or 7200 RPM\nLCD: 15" (Wide is also a good choice but the wide LCDs has less life than a normal LCD and also cheaper in producing)\nBluetooth: Up to you if you have such devices.\nMouse: TouchPad and TrackPoint both are recommended.\nDisk Drive: Floppy is dead long time ago as you know. But DVD-RAM is not a perfect choice if you don't use. So get a Combo drive (CD-RW, DVD-ROM)\nWLAN: If you don't use no need to take a Centrino.\nCPU: 533Mhz FSB is a good choice, much better than 400Mhz FSB.\nRAM: at least 1 GB. DDR2 is recommended.\nGPU: nVidia, ATI both are good.

I personally like Vaio, by Sony, except they can get pretty expensive. \nI would love a Mac (especially a Powerbook), but I think they can do better, and I can wait :)

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!!

Go to a reputable computer store and ask to speak to someone who is knowledgable on laptops.\nTell them what you need the laptop to do and how much you have to spend. They will show you alternatives. Do that in 3 or 4 stores, then go on the Internet and save yourself up to 10%.\nIn other words, get the best that you can afford. All manufacturers have good and bad models. A shop assistant who deals with them everyday will know the best (and worst)

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!!

Speed is overrated, as you can't type faster than a Pentium 90 MHz CPU, unless you want to play game.  Same thing about memory unless you games are important.  256MB is plenty for most typical needs.  Your connection speed is more important. Lots of people like the Macs, but the market is far larger for Windows based PCs.  All the new ones have wifi and most have DVD-CDRW.  IBM and Toshiba are the best PC based laptops.  Now size is major.  Laptops weight between 4 to 10 pounds.  All the major manufacturers have products in that price range.  I like the latest from IBM the model T60.  However, they are expensive.
