Buying a Laptop

As far as quality laptops go... I would like to add a vote for Asus laptops.

I have not heard bad things about Acer laptops. They are on the cheaper end of things but I have had mine for a year now and it is great for internetting and games that don't need a kajillion RAM. The in-built speakers are actually better than the speakers I have for my desktop.
My problem is that due to the nice big screen size it is a large laptop. Meaning it is heavier. After lugging it around for six hours in a shoulder bag I am aching for an iBook.

Anyway, your best bet I think would be going to a shop that sells them and asking what you need. Try a place that specialises in technology or officey things, they are likely to know more than the people at other kinds of places.

Yeah, I agree.  I am pretty sure that when I buy a laptop it's gonna be an Asus.  Asus make at least some of the Mac Books, so you know that they are capable of producing a quality product.  They also make about a bazillion configurations of their models, and have mostly decent video cards in them.  They are my motherboard manufacturer of choice, so I trust the mainboard in them, which for laptops is pretty important.  On top of all this they don't seem to be all that expensive.

Six or seven of my friends have HPs, and none of them have had problems so far. The laptop I just bought is also and HP and I really like it. My brother and sister both have Gateway laptops and they are both satisfied. The people I know that have Toshibas say they're satisfied but not overly impressed. And my friend with a MacBook is completely in love with it.

So... and HP or a MacBook, depending on what OS you prefer. Or how much you want to spend.
