That's a matter of opinion, like which is better, a Chevy or a Ford? Find the reviews and check out the magazines buy the people who do that for a living.\n\nWhat they won't ask you is if you really need a laptop. Do you really need to be mobile, or is it just an occasional maybe thing? Are you going to try and use a laptop as a primary computer? If so, stop right there and re-evaluate. \n\nLook at all of the people on these forums that run out of hard disk space, run out of memory, and are needing the full flexability of a desktop.\n\nI realize I'm outside your question, but you'd be surprised how many people buy a laptop because they're a cute gadget and make you look cool, then spend time with a cramped keyboard and screen and no mouse and their life is miserable, compared to the real deal.

Sager is by far the best as far as quality and reliability.  These are GREAT notebooks.  You will pay for it though.

Dell or PC World... if you do go to PC World, the advent ones are cheap and cheerful... don't let them talk you into buying anything else for it though (unless its a bag and you want one)!!

You should be able to get good deasl on pricegrabbger.com (It gets the best prices from all online stores). \n\nAnyways, I think more than deals, try looking for quality.  My personal experience says that Lenovo (IBM Thinkpads) last the longest and are the sturdiest.  They also come with a finger print secure login in most laptops.  It's worth spending an extra couple of hundred bucks -- Lasts at least 4-5 years. \n\nDell's are inferior quality, but cheap. \nToshiba's are a good compromise \nSony's suck. \nHP is getting better, but, doesn't compare with Thinkpads.

id go with a dell, dell.com has an awesome page or call them and tell them you only want to spend 1000 dollars and they'll make a notebook that will suit your needs and price target.

I have owned five notebooks.  I currently run a Dell Notebook, and Two VIAOs at home and one Dell for work.\n\nI have owned 3 Dells...  Good function for your money.\n\nI have owned a HP...  Decent function, flimsy construction.  Returned it within a week.\n\nI have owned an Apple...  I did not like it.  It was very limiting, hard to find software and hardware unless I went on line or to the retailer.  Sold it in a month.\n\nI have just bought a VIAO.  I have one existing.  I like it the best.  It has many more features and is more Versatile.  It is also built well and very lightweight.

Go for an Apple.  They are slightly more pricey but they are well designed.

Looks like Dell, HP, and Sony are at the top according to CNET.  Check out the reviews on all the top models:  http://reviews.cnet.com/Notebooks/2001-3121_7-0.html?tag=glnav\n\nYou can sory by manufacturer, price, type, and a ton of other criteria.

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.

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.

Get a fairly affordable one with about 30GB memory, i have a Dell laptop since my uni days, still going strong. Laptops are also much handier, you can lug them around to the library with you, and back to your family home. I think thats the best option.
