Best laptop brand?

[imported_KungFutse]

Let's say money was not an issue. If you could get any laptop, which brand would it be?

 

[Abhi]

Alienware for gaming...

IBM for everything else.

 

[way]

Apple

 

[WobbleWobble]

Apple for the cool factor and to look good

IBM for general purpose

 

[shadowfaX]

because i like to work on different platforms...

IBM for partially general purpose
Apple for the other part of general purpose
Alienware for gaming

 

[Chello02]

IBM or Toshiba

Apple if I wanted a non-windows machine.

For pure gaming, probably Alienware.
For everything else, IBM.

As a primary laptop, IBM.

I know each laptop has a use but I just can't see spending twice the cash for a laptop that can do half a PC laptop will do.

But I am a huge gamer

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.

 

[aakerman]

looks are important - and you still would choose a dell? lol :>

My vote: IBM.

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.

 

[LinuxIdiot]

Sager pretty powerful computers

 

[juancferrer]

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.

 

[Mattster]

IBM for sure ......

Very happy T41 user here!

 

[DukeN]

Toshiba by far.

Alienware for gaming (tho that one VoodooPC notebook with two RAID-0 7200rpm drives is sick)

 

[Wuzup101]

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...

 

[Cross]

Fujitsu
Apple
IBM

 

[seebhh]

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:

 

[Justin216]

I'm selling my IBM T40 if anyone is interested...saw a few people looking for one...
