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!

They are all designed to a price. Toshiba tend to be a better choice as components are available in the event of a failure.\n\nAnd NEVER buy a Sony Viou! Designed nowadays to last just beyond the warranty period in my opinion.

Lenovo. IBM's quality is far better.

I'd suggest Toshiba... May cost you a little more for the corresponding HP configuration but is definitely woth it.\n\nThere are dealers who sell Toshiba with "3 years" warranty and its never generally going to have any problems..\n\nSince you are from India, there's a warranty service centre for HP mainly only in Banglore but for Toshiba you might never find one proper place.\n\nWith 512 Ram and other decent configurations, Toshiba might be difficult.\n\nFOr 60,000rs, you can get very good acer laptops and dell laptops. You can buy them from Banglore if you want the cheapest in India

I see you have a lot of opinions out here.  I recommend that you do look at the Notebookreview.com website that another user recommended but also check out www.notebookforums.com where people discuss real issues and how to fix problems versus marketing hype.\n\nThe short of it all is All laptops are pretty much the same.  They get the job done.  My only recommendations is \n\nDO NOT BUY a CONSUMER machine.\n\nYou will notice that most of the major manufacturers have a Corporate version and a Consumer version.  The Corporate version tends to be more rugged.  I have a lot to laptops.  Although I have Macs and PCs I do not have a MAC laptop.\n\nI would stay away from the Sony because Sony is more trendy than sturdy.  The best (most solid work horse) are my Think Pads.  I don't know about Lenovo's version but they are probably pretty good. My Dells, are good but they are Corporate, not consumer, and my Gateways are excellent performers.  Toshiba used to be good but you could not give me one today.\n\nNow, HP.....Well, HP did not make good laptops until they bought Compaq and even then the Presarios were crap but the Armada were dang good. \n\nWhichever one you decide on, Go into a local store - CompUSA, MicroCenter, Costco, Sams, Best Buy, Wal-Mart and touch and feel all of the machines that your are considering.  Look for good solid construction and a good screen.   Then write down your choices.  Check Notebookforums for real problems, and then look for discounts!!!!\n\nMC.

It depends on what you are looking for but I would get one with at least 512MB of memory.  In that category there is the Acer Aspire with an AMD Sempron 3000+ processor, 512MB of memory, 60GB hard drive, a 15.4" WXGA display (1280 x 800 resolution), a CD-RW/DVD-Rom drive, you aren't going to find a DVD burner in this price range and of course, 802.11b/g wireless for $700 (after a $100 rebate).\n\nThat would be my pick but if you think you can get by with 256MB of memory then you can go as cheap as $549 but I don't like that laptop because it has a 15.0" display.  The next one up has a 15.4" display but still only has 256MB of memory.  The first link will take you to the Acer and the second one will take you to the whole list.  My preference is the Acer but that's just me.\n\nI wouldn't buy a laptop from Dell, I'm not very fond of them.  I like Acer, HP and Toshiba.

The Acer 3692 sounds like the better buy.\n395 is a great price for a laptop.\nSame spec in a Toshiba cost me 1099 euro.

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.

I personally prefer IBM for a laptop but if I had to choose between Dell and Compaq it would be Dell hands down!

IBM are cheaper , but the X60 delivers more in processing, durability, programs, and battery life depending on the model. the X60 may be your smartest choice.

The Toshiba Satellite is a very poor choice when considering the wide spectrum of choices avalible for budget laptops.\n\nThe battery life of the L25 is only 95 minutes, according to Cnet.com, which is a very small number in today's market.  Furthermore, the battery life won't last long enough to watch a dvd movie, which is a major factor to consider if you are going to dish out 700 for a laptop.\n\nIf you are looking for a bare minimum no frill laptop, I recommend Dell, where you can equipt a cheaper laptop which has more features, especially if you wait for a special deal.

From my experience, I feel that Dell laptops are excellent in dependability and style. Toshiba is also close behind, though I really dislike the Thinkpads due to design, lack of service, and the overall layout. Gateway does not offer great laptops as it has combined with eMachines... so yea, its out of the running.\n\nI would suggest avoiding Tablet PCs mainly for the fact that they are just out a little bit ago. Might want to give Microsoft a little time to sort out their bugs. I bought one from Bestbuy two monthes ago and returned it two weeks ago because I felt it was rather useless, there is not much you can do with the tablet that cant be done with a mouse. Plus the idea of touching a screen so many times and having to clean it later on does not appeal to me. If you need to draw notes, I would stay with photoshop or paint, as working with a tablet pc is not as easy as you think, and no, the fold-up processes is not as easy as it looks in those comercials. As well, these tablet pcs usually end up costing a good 500 dollars more than one of the same performance without it. \n\nThe bottom line for your usage in my opinion would be the Dell Inspiron Notebook 9400 (after you customize it, its probably going to end up around $1500-$1600 US). It is not that high tech, though that is not needed unless you intend to really crank up gaming, plus it will save you a couple hundred bucks. As well, it comes with a nice silver design and 17" screen, and everything you basically need for university. You can read more about it at the site I listed below.

My choice would definitely HP Pavillion (the dv1000 and dv 2000 series).\n\nI have had Toshiba (cpu heats up in 8 months)\nI have had Sony (too expensive for brand sake)\nI have had Gateway (little cheapo on keyboard.. keys fall out in 5 months)\nI had DELL (stay away !!! beware )\n\nThis is the 7th laptop I am using in last 3 years (my company provides me with all these gadgets) of which I had 2 HP pavillions. I have had no problems with them. light weight, looks slick-n-sexy, remote control,.. best ever ! )\n\nHope that helps.\nhappy surfing :)

if you want a hardworking laptop\nnot thing beats IBM ( now Lenevo)\nall the computer enginner companies buys them for the workers, they are not that "pretty" but very durable both physically and computerly( they don't "die" easily, they hardly die at all, compare to dell, sony, hp, toshiba)
