Heh, That's an open ended question since computer brands are like fashion tastes. They vary widely from person to person. \n\nApple makes some killer laptops in their Powerbooks. If Windows is your platform, Toshiba makes a quite sturdy laptop. If you own one already you know that bigger screen means heavier laptop so be careful what you wish for, you just might get it and be carrying around 45 lbs of gear. \n\nAvoid HP and Comcrap laptops like the plague. Dell you have a 50/50 chance of getting a good one.

Dell PC's are pretty good.  There tech support 2 years ago was top of the line.  If you are looking for a new computer they are all pretty much the same what you need to look for is who has the best Tech support.  I like HP tech support since it is based in the US and not in the 3rd world countries and it is pretty good.  They can build a computer to your specs too.

Well, on my Eisley answer, you are welcome. I think it would good to buy a dell. They are cheapish and work well. You may want an apple though. I use an apple all the time. They work the best.

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:)

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.

DELL becuase there the most common type.there easier to fix and cost less to fix. i had an HP they breakdown so fast.and they charged me 100 dollars for help on the phone and all they told me was that i needed a new mother board and to take to a computer dealler to fix it. DELL offers free help support and they sell their parts cheap (not that youlll ever need them) recovering DELL computers takes no professional person.it take s40 minutes and DELL works GREAT i had mine for 5 years and still works great.my HP computer broke down in 1 year.

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...

Get Alienware.....awesome machines....as long as you don't mind spending a little bit more for it. If money is an issue and you want something cheaper, I recommend a Dell. Don't go with Compaq or HP if you can avoid it, they are just proprietary, production machines.

Buying a laptop can be a nightmare! More so if you are a computer geek. With all the technical jargon floating around, companies can make you crazy.\n\nMost of the companies listed make good laptops. Comapnies like Sony and Panasonic are more of consumer electronics companies. Their motive of having a range of laptops is basically  to complete their product line. \n\nIBM has recently sold its THINKPAD (IBM's brand name for laptops) to Lenovo. However, Lenovo's range of thinkpad laptops is a bit expensive for the same hardware configuration offered by other hardware vendors.\n\nToshiba has a very good range of laptops. The only problem is that it is not very well serviced around the world.\n\nApple laptops or rather iBooks (Apple's brand name for their laptops) is very good and attractive. The only problem here is that they are designed to integrate with their own operating system i.e. Apple's MAC. Recently, they have introduced laptops compatible with Microsoft Windows XP. But one really doesn't know the technical back up support Apple would provide in case one is using Microsoft Windows XP.\n\nAcer has a good range of laptops but agian one is not sure of the after sales support they provide.\n\nSeeing strictly from a business perspective, HP mainly focuses its attention to printing hardware. It has traditionally been a company with excellent printers. However, after the acquisition of Compaq, HP has introduced an excellent line of laptops. But their customer support remains a bone of contention.This is where DELL beats most of its competitors.\n\nBacked with excellent telephonic technical support and next business day on site support, DELL addresses the critical problem a customer faces in time of a crisis. This is one quality, the other companies are hardly able to match. Moreover, DELL focuses its primary attention to assembling Laptops and Desktops. This enables it to provide innovative mix of products that cater to a customers from all walks of life with a college going student at one end to hungry needs of corporate IT customers and governments on the other. Further, DELL is the one of the first hardware vendors to successfully introduce new products launched by other IT hardware developers like Intel, nVidia, ATI etc.\n\nHowever, one cannot conclusively say which company is better. The choice of a laptop is very personal and individualistic.

In my opinion, Dell is better, both in style and performance\n\nHP may be heavier, thicker, even with some newer models\n\n---speaking from my experience; I own a Dell laptop, and have been selling a lot of pre-owned laptops, and by far, I still prefer Dell over HP

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!!

" What is the best brand for computers? HP? VAIO? ALIENWARE? DELL? "\n\nThe Best you can get is an Alienware PC. They are the most powerfull (4 GB RAM, Duel Core Prossesors, Duel 7800 GTX Videocards, Terrabyte Storage), and most reliable, but they are also the most expensive (5,000)\n\nIf You are on a budget Then I reccomend an eMachines.\nThey are really cheap but they are well build and have good hardware. Same with Gateway, you can buy a really nice gateway Pentium D, 300GB, 2GB DDR2 RAM, all that for around 800-900 Dollars.\n\nIf you want something that is really reliable and well known with the best free technical support you could go with  HP. The HP website offers free technical support where you can actually chat with a real technichian, most website offer self help. HP has very good computer at the average price range.\n\nVAIO computers are good, but expensive (VAIO = SONY)\nYou are basicly paying for the name just like Alienware. They have really strong PC's, if you want a  really strong PC, then  this would be Right Next to Alienware.\n\nMe, I Custom Build my PC's. You can get the parts cheap from eBay, or NewEgg. You have control of what your PC will be like. For this you buy a case, a motherboard, RAM, harddrive, CD ROM, and more additional stuff, This will cost you much less than buying a new computer. You can can custom build a computer with the same exact things as what you could find in an alienware for alot cheaper.\n\nHope you found this helpfull

I think Dell is the best.  Good service, good prices and top quality laptops.
