Dude, you're getting a dell!

Get a Dell, over the Net. Spend the extra money and get the extended service policy. If it breaks, and they do, you will be glad you spent the $$. R

IBM is pretty good - IBM notebooks are well designed and the tech support is top notch. Dell notebooks have lots of features, but the build quality on the Inspirons is only so-so and the keyboards are terrible!

I know several people who have Compaq's that work great, Dell I'm hesitant about buying from them since they refuse to sell AMD..

I like how you can get drivers for more than just the "original" OS on many Toshibas.

That's the same with IBMs too. Well, save for Linux.

ibm - go for T or X series.
if you do go for a dell, get a latitude.

i just bought a dell and i am quite happy with it
go for them

 

[bob4432]

i will probably get a r series ibm, the weight isn't a problem and i would rather have a 15" screen. thanks for all the input

 

[dnuggett]

What are you looking to do with the laptop? Are you looking for a desktop replacement?
