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)

Personally I recommend Toshiba laptops. They have multiple makes (Satellite and Qosimo among others) and variations of each to fit your budget. [See the link below]\n\nSome extra information: on any laptop, what to watch out for is if the AC power port is on the rear of the laptop, be careful not to tilt the base backwards when opening the screen. This can bend the cord and result in the the port becoming detached internally. That's why no matter what laptop you decide to purchase, I highly recommend spending the extra on a good extended warranty.

Dell comes to mind. Everybrand has good and bad models it mostly melts down to the stats.\n\n\nI suggest you get an AMD or Intel processor most of the new laptops will have powerful AMD or Intel processors. Of course I would grab dual core processor witch should be no problem almost every knew PC or laptop uses dual cores.\n\nYou will want at least 1GB of ram.\nYou will want at least 80GB of hard drive space probably more around 160GB.\n\nIf your main desire is gaming DO NOT get a laptop even the best and most expensive laptops are only half as good as the average desktop at gaming.  Many laptops can handle medium end gaming quite well but you will need to look into that before you buy it.   If your looking for something to web browse , play light or medium end games well , and look at video or pictures what I listed above will be enough.\n\nAlways research a PC before you buy it and get advice from at least 2 people because any 1 person can be wrong.\n\nSo ASK twice buy once....\n\nEdited--- I have not used much Laptops but I hear dells are ok. The one you hate will probably be a lot different from a new modern laptop or desktop but If you looking at a desktop dells suck. Go with HP if you can they rock!  But I away custom build myself witch if you were into gaming I would for sure go custom but your not.  From what you say your looking for almost any average laptop or Desktop thats HP or Dell will be good.  I like HP over dell for sure when it comes to desktops I would never touch a Dell desktop. But when it comes to laptops Dell it high up on the charts right now.   \n\nRemember AMD or Intel dual core CPU. 1GB or ram or more and at least 80GB hard drive place.  Get that and you will be laughing from viewing videos , pictures and web browsing. Note with this setup you can also multitask this is no weak PC.  Remember the newer the better.

If you want good value for money, don't buy the brand name crap. Go to Centralfield (in Sham Shui Po) and take a look at their offer. Or check their website: http://www.centralfield.com/2004/Bto_nb/BTO_index1.html (but there's not much English there).\n\nI bought this Centrino laptop last year - Pentium M 1.6, 512MB RAM (upgradeable to 1GB), 60GB HDD, 15" 1400*1050 LCD, DVD+CDRW and ATI Mobility Radeon 9700, for HK$8750 (about US$1125), and I'm really happy with it. Anything comparable made by big brands was over HK$12000.\nAnyway, prices have dropped quite a bit since last year.\n\nOf course, you can also find some cheap crap like slow Celerons with 256MB RAM for HK$5000 or so.

Toshiba is the best laptop. Dell damage a lot because i'm sure you heard the news, dell laptop exploded. So i afraid it might be happen again haha.\n\nCompaq and HP are the same. So it's the same quality.\n\nOther laptop is a bit hard to upgrade.

Most people seem to prefer Dell. But Dell is a cheap company and is manufactured in mass production in USA. Think of it as FORD, lol. The toshiba laptop however is more power, quality and entertainment values.

Well I would say both are good brand right now for gaming laptops specially Dell XPS also has good tech. support after sales ( couple of my friends work for it ). Go for dell XPS M1710 they got 4 varients of it on basis of their design & hardware components.\n\nCheck out the link below for the range which suits your budget you'll really find'em awsome ( I'll suggest you to go for the one which says mulimedia powerhouse $ 2,794:\n\nhttp://www.dell.com/content/products/features.aspx/cto_xpsnb_m1710?c=us&cs=19&l=en&s=dhs\n\nYou can also check this one from alienware its called Aurora™ m7700 Mobile Gaming Powerhouse its for starts from $2,679 however one thing you should notice that dell gives you better configuration for the same price range.\n\nLike dell gives you 512 mb graphics card instead of a 256 on this one. Alienware has a bigger harddrive but wats the use if you wont enjoy most of your bulky high defination games.\n\nSo compare them and take a decision ( I say dell is better in this price range )\nCheck the link below for alienware :\nhttp://www.alienware.com/product_detail_pages/Aurora_m7700/aurora-m_features.aspx?SysCode=PC-LT-AURORA-M-7700&SubCode=SKU-DEFAULT\n\nI 'll suggest you to check this brand called Pro-Star as they are giving a lot more of inside stuff then other at the same range ( have'nt heard about their after sales support ) but its a mouth watery deal as far as the hardware is concerned. I want you to check this two models by them 9068-3A, 9068-4A the only diff. between 'em is the processor its AMD 4600+ & 4800+ for $ 2,629 & $ 2,679 ( not much of a diff. )\n\nhttp://www.pro-star.com/index.cfm?mainpage=productdetail&model=9068\n\nyou can try this one by gateway if you want your mom to have a bit of relaxation on the monetary side :\n\nhttp://www.gateway.com/products/GConfig/proddetails.asp?system_id=nx860xl&seg=hm\n\nI say you should read this review before you make a descision & hey take the pro-star seriously its a good deal :\n\nhttp://www.bizwaremagic.com/best_gaming_notebooks.htm

I know people who have been satisfied with the VAIO notebooks in the past, but any of them who have since purchased new laptops went with another brand.\n\nPersonally, I've recently researched laptops before purchasing one, and I'm not that impressed with the VAIO, they seem to have less capability than similarly priced computers, and not just the bargain brands, but good quality companies.  \n\nIn the end I went with an HP, my second one so far, and I have yet to be disappointed.

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.

I have a dell inspiron and it's awesome. I think HP laptops are more cheaply made, or at least they look that way.

Next to Sony Laptops they come in second place, I would pick the Toshiba for price.... But if i had the money Sony Vieo would be my choice....

Personally, i have always like my dell and am favored toward that brand.  Mine has lasted 4 years or so, is still fast and up to date.  If you take care of it with anti-virus software and anti-spyware tools, it will last a long time.\n\nIt looks as if they are pretty close, but with the 120GB HD, I would go with the dell.  Students tend to fill up that HD pretty fast.  \n\nAlso, please use a coupon, you can always save a couple hundred dollars on a good laptop.  Dell has a coupon available until the 9th, but they do have a good turnover and publish coupons every week.  Here is the coupon and details:  http://www.24houredeals.com/dell-coupons-23-mer.html

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