I bought an Acer 5 months ago ,and the only problem I've had with it was that its program to connect to wireless Secure sites(ones that require a code) was very problematic.I simply disabled the acer program so that the microsoft program accesses the wireless internet routers (if you know the code).This works fine it is an excellent laptop so far ,also I bought the Acer because it was a lot cheaper with the same features as the others.

I've had very good experience with the Acer Aspire series. First bought one for my wife, then my mother, now myself. Great bang for the buck. My wife's PC is about a year old and no problems (ok, the battery doesn't last that long). Lots of functionality for the money and the screens are among the best I've seen on laptops.\n\nI recently purchased (on impulse) an Acer Aspire 5003WLMi at Staples. Upgraded the memory from 512MB to 768MB, bought a Targus backpack, a couple of jump drives and it was still under $900, and no rebates.\n\nMy work laptop is a Dell Inspiron and I like it but it has had the motherboard replaced and the keyboard so far, and it's less than two years old. And it was about $2,700 new.\n\nCheck out Staples and Circuit City if you're into bricks and mortar, they seem to be pretty good.

dell is better than hp as per performance

To be honest, you really can't go wrong either way.\nI would recommend Dell on the basis of their support web site.  They make it very easy for you to check for updates on your hardware for your computer.\nWe have Dell's at work, and they are good machines.  I also have seen HP's, and I have not been too impressed with them.

Given that the prices are the same,there are two other really important issues that you need to look at-performance and battery life.If you need higher performance,mobility,graphics,games and aren't away from a poer source for a long time,I would suggest that you go with the AMD Turion64 X2.My dad's is an Acer Aspire with AMD Turion64.Its not dual core,but I've really felt the upbeat in performance when compared to the Intel centrino series.But the problem persists in the battery life.The standard 6-cell Li-Ion Acer battery gives about 4-4.5 hrs in standard conditions when used with Centrino.The same battery is found to last only about 3.5hrs when used with AMD Turion64 processor.But since I wanted performance at any cost,I opted for this 64-bit beauty.\nIf its battery life that you need,I suggest that you go with the Centrino Duo series.This processor gives you a good battery life.\nThe difference between a 64-bit processor and a 32-bit one is that 64 chunks of data can be processed by a 64-bit processor in one go,and the other can only handle 32 chunks of data at a time.The AMD Turion64 X2 is a 64-bit processor.But the Intel Centrino Duo isn't.If you are indeed waiting for a 64-bit Dual Core solution from Intel,I suggest that you wait for about 2 months or so.Intel's Centrino Duo 2 is a dual core 64-bit processor with the second core about 30% faster.But since the performance characteristics of this isn't known,there's little that I can comment on.\nI hope that answers your question.

I always buy anything but dell, this is why they have 24/7 customer service because with those machines they need it... Hp is very good, and gateway is nice.

For a laptop currently Intel's Core Duo is best. The new AMD processors are not for laptops.

I don't recommend anyone to purchase a Compaq or a Hewlett Packard (HP) computer of any kind.  They're made by the same company and they're cheaply built PCs.  Anyone that I've known to have one (including myself) has had nothing but problems with them.\n\nI'd go for something better but that all depends on how much you'd like to spend.  If you're looking for medium grade laptops that won't put much of a dent in your wallet, then go for Toshiba or Dell.\n\nIf you're willing to spend the cash and get the best, go for Sony or IBM.\n\nAs far as Windows XP, if you're not an experienced user or an IT professional, then Home Edition will be just fine for you.

honestly, none. i would go with a MAC. those are the best if all you want to do is browse internet, playgames, or do anything graphic. if not then i would go with the HP, i find that HP is more reliable then compaq or toshiba. toshiba would be my second choice, and i would rather not have a computer then have a compaq.

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 even consider a Dell.  I like laptops from Acer, Toshiba and HP.

Acer isn't bad...they can be a little pricey in some configurations.  The thing to remember is that inside every computer is just a bunch of parts from manufacturers that have no affiliation with the name on the outside case.  Make sure you get a good configurations (i.e...the parts inside are good) and no matter what brand you buy you'll be ok....to answer your question though acer seems to be solid to me.  I have an HP which I love (HP & Compaq are the same now).  Good luck.

Fujitsu is good,but toshiba is better.The latest ones are really awesome from toshiba.\nPeronally I like HP,Acer and Dell.The tablet PC version is ultra cool.\nAlways make a choice and stick to it,I am sure it will be a very good laptop.

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.

You can check out this one from HP at Circuit City for $700, http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/HP-Pavilion-Notebook-PC-ZE2315US-/sem/rpsm/oid/132902/catOid/-12963/rpem/ccd/productDetail.do and this Gateway at Best Buy for $849, http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=7628631&type=product&productCategoryId=cat01174&id=1130986342986.\n\nSome things you should consider when buying a laptop are memory, don't get one with less than 512MB of memory though you can get by with 256MB, I don't recommend doing so, Windows XP is so much faster when it has 512MB of memory available to it.  Also, do you want a standard 15.0" screen or 15.4" Widescreen display, I like the widescreens because they offer more screen real estate and a higher resolution.  The HP has a 15.0" screen and the Gateway has a 15.4" screen.  Also, the HP has an AMD Sempron 3000+ processor and the Gateway has a Turion 64 processor which is faster than a Sempron.  Take this into consideration when you are buying a laptop.\n\nBut either one should suit your needs for web-browsing, email and office applications, just don't try to play Doom 3 on them.
