Best laptop brand?

because i like to work on different platforms...

IBM for partially general purpose
Apple for the other part of general purpose
Alienware for gaming
 
Apple Powerbook or Dell Latitude.

The Inspiron line "feels" flimsy; every Latitude I've worked with has the solid feel to it. I find IBM's offerings unattractive- not that looks should be a factor when choosing laptops, but they are for me. Personally, IBMs are at the bottom of my list for this reason.

I don't do much in the way of heavy number crunching and the like anymore though... all I do is surf the web and use office.
 
Wow, I'm surprised at the # of IBM votes. I never even considered IBM. I always thought it was either Dell, Apple, or Sony. I guess I'll take IBM into consideration from now on.
 
IBMs are cool...i just got me a new T42, and this thing is built like a tank, and the thinklight comes in quite handy at night.
 
Toshiba by far.

Alienware for gaming (tho that one VoodooPC notebook with two RAID-0 7200rpm drives is sick)
 
IBM or Dell Latitude (and Latitude only) if you want a PC. Toshiba and Sony would be close up there also.

That being said I just bought a 15" Powerbook and I am eagerly waiting for it to get here (will let you know).

I was going to buy an IBM, which is my personal favorite when it comes to PC; however, the configuration I wanted was about $1000 more than a similar Powerbook, so I went w/ the Mac.

As for gaming, buy a SFF desktop or just make due on a higher end laptop. I find it funny that people buy laptop's for gaming when they could buy a less expensive laptop and have the money to buy a desktop also...
 
IBM's are $$$.

how about for a decent lappy for under $1300? best bang for the buck so to speak.
I'm a poor Computer Science student......:roll:
