Laptop Help

[WorkWork]

I am looking to buy my first laptop and have a few questions.

Is the speed difference between the celeron and p4 the same as in a desktop?

Are there any benchmarks comparing the mobile video cards?

What companies are the better manufactures of laptops?

Are there any benchmarks comparing the mobile video cards?

Look up and click! AT main site - Video cards - Radeon mobility and Geforce Go reviews.

Except on a few models video is not upgradable, so choose wisely!

What companies are the better manufactures of laptops?

Dell, Toshiba, IBM are the top 3. HP / Compaq aren't too bad.

IBM makes ROCK SOLID laptops. Seriously solid stuff.

The thinkpad T-series laptops are their ultraportable line, but they're expensive. I'm on a T20 now (10 model series old, they're up to T30s now) and its easily carried around in one hand.

The problem a lot of people have, is they're not super-customizable like Dell laptops. If you need to customize your laptop, Dell is probably the way to go.
