Can you help me choose between 3 laptops?

It depends on your computing habits and needs. For basic MS applications, email and internet, you just need to choose the cheapest one and it should work fine. But since Sony is known for its multimedia prowess, and if you do image and video editing, then choose the one with the highest specs, especially in terms of hard drive memory and RAM memory.  I'd go for the latter coz im a heavy duty computer user.

The specs are great. Make sure you shop around for the best deal first try PC World and http://www.dabs.com but you can't get a laptop of much better quality than that.\n\nHope this Helps!

A has the best Video card, but C is not bad either and would probably be just a little faster at most operations. From personal experience, stay away from B (e-machines have let me down in the past. Depending on where you are located you might consider checking out a few other places:\nhttp://www.tigerdirect.com\nhttp://www.dell.com\n\nThose are a couple that are pretty low prices. But if you only want the three you are looking at here, A is the best bet followed closely by C.

600$ is a tight budge, so you might want to look for a slightly used laptop. But good companies are dell, toshiba, and gateway. but quality over bells and whistles and you won't regret it.\nGood luck.

I've used all three a great many times and all three are just as good.\n\nI actually have 4 hard drives in my PCs, 600 gigs, 2 WD's and 2 Maxtor's.\n\nI would just go with whatever you can get the best price on.

Depends on your needs, actually. My vote goes for IBM T43 (I trust the brand, it's light, and I've used a T42 for a while) or a Dell Latitude D810 (better graphics card, slightly cheaper; my office has 3 of them and they've not failed yet).

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 :)

ask 10 people and you will get 11 suggestions ;-)\n\nif you think Dell is reliable go further with it. the Inspiron E1505 is worth a look.

Depending on your usage, if you are traveller, buy light weight, if its desktop replacement, buy a powerful one with enough horsepower, if used extensively for presentations etc. buy one that has good battery life.

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.

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.

Emachines will be a bum. I am getting a dell. My sister has a HP Laptop and it is OK. I heard a lot of great stuff about a Compaq. I still would take a dell

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.

neither - you should buy a dell!  i had an HP laptop and then bought a dell to replace it - its just better bang for your money!\n\nspecifically you should get an inspiron 6000\n\nEDIT::\n\ni just configured an inspiron 6000 with a 100gb hard disk and a DVD-RW/DL burner for $714.00 before tax and shipping (free for a little while)  Also this system has a dedicated graphics card unlike the 2 systems you are looking at

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.
