This depends on what you plan on doing with the computer, and what your budget is.\n\nMacBooks are great- they are powerful, have a solid OS, and are stylish.  However, they are also pricey and Macs have a reputation for not being the best gaming computers.\n\nThere are too many Windows laptops manufacturers to detail- since most people use their laptops for the same general purposes (internet, gaming, home office, school) it really depends upon your preference for a particular brand and if you have any specialized needs.

Mine is a Gateway laptop and it runs beautifully, 24 hours a day (extra cooling added).

If you don't want to learn how to use a Mac, I have both so I know what it is like, not saying it is hard but it isn't something you don't want to have to do if you don't need to.\n\nIn my personal experiance the best mobile business laptop would be a Toshibe Protege.\n\nIt is about the same price as an equally equipped Apple PowerBook G4 but I feel without a big switch over to look into those.\n\nI personally for what I need, Computer Engineering student / WebHost / Technical Writer I use a PowerBook G4. I love it, wouldn't go anywhere wihtout it.

The best quality laptop for the money is the Dell, Inspiron serious. You can get an excellent, fast laptop, with plenty of memory, for around 500 dollars. I have a Dell, and I think it is excellent. I have tried many of the top brands, and nothing else even comes close to Dell.

Look at the other options besides Dell. Compaq, HP and Sony all have superior laptops and great service. You are more likely to find what you want by looking at the better brands on the market.

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:)

do not just judge by the looks. first of all if ur looking cheap its:dell. if it can a bit more "complex" it should be toshiba. The Toshiba is one of the leading companies in selling laptops and my self am using a Toshiba satellite P35-S605. it gives me power (3.46Ghz) with pentium 4 processor. If ur looking for quality:Toshiba. If your looking for cheap:dell.

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.

Well the best one is that which has top components. Take a look at what alienware has to offer, or toshiba satellite series. These are the best.

I've had Dell, Gateway & a Think Pad by IBM.  \n\nThey are all pretty good.  How about an Apple?  I hear rave reviews regarding the Apple.\n\nGood luck..........study hard & have FUN!\n\n:-)

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.

I would suggest that you either go for a Dell, HP, or a Toshiba.  Sony Vaio are pretty expensive and the most over-rated laptops.  IBM Thinkpads and Apple iBooks are good on performance, but far too expensive.\n\nI have a Toshiba and I have worked for HP, so I would definitely recommend these.  Toshiba laptops are pretty rugged, quiet, have beautiful screens (among the very best), have terrific multimedia qualities like good speakers, multimedia buttons for playing DVDs without booting the computer, a host of media ports like SD, XD, MMC, Compact Flash (for transferring photos from your digital camera), etc., decent sized keyboards, 100 GB hard drives for storing your data, wireless network adapters, etc.  I haven't had issues with them and the customer support is fantastic!\n\nI would recommedn the Toshiba Satellite series and the HP DV series.\n\nDell lately has been having a lot of problems with their batteries and have been recalling many defective laptops.  My roomies have had problems with brand new Dells too.\n\nFor better reviews and customer ratings visit this website.  It will be a good guide.

I have recently got myself a Sony VGN-SZ3XWP/C, to replace my previous Sony, it is wonderful, very very light, powerful and packed with features including a fingerprint scanner for logging on, which may sound very gimmicky but in fact works very well. Only drawback with the Sony's is that they are a little fragile but all round this is a great Laptop and should serve you well if you look after it. Check Kelkoo and www.doorone.co.uk for the best prices if you are in the UK, if not maybe someone else can suggest where to get good price comparision services.
