Best Laptop Brand?

[timelessflight]

Alright I'm looking to purchase a new laptop this weekend. I'm looking to spend between $600-$800. Any suggestions?

I'm mainly using it for basic purposes (internet, email, etc.).


Thanks.

anyways.. the best laptop brand is Apple (IMO) . But for you, you're probably good with a gateway, hp, dell, etc....

Stay away from Gateway and HP (I found out the hard way).

A Dell is fine if you want to spend 800. Could get a decent 13" after you build it to your needs.

I've been checking out some HP's lately and I like their designs, but I've been told that the battery life sucks and that I should get Gatewayinstead.

You want quality and don't really care about the price: Apple

You want decent quality (not the best, but not the worst) and care about saving a bit of money: Dell

dont know how long gateways battery last but my HP does indeed suck. Id be happy if I got 2.5 hrs from full charge. But most likely after a yearof use any laptops battery will start sucking.

How are Avaretec's? My last job bought me one for 900$ from Sam's and I liked it, but I'm somewhat taken aback by the fact that like 99% ofnon-new-from-authorized-dealers Averatec's are broken in some way. They make the best looking ones IMO.

You can get a Dell Vostro Laptop really cheap right now, they got great performance specs but are UGLY

I got a Toshiba!

enh, it's ight.

 

[jrp44]

I have had my Toshiba for about 4 years and it is still working great

 

[in the line for viis]

I heard Lenovo's are good. I've had my Dell for 3 years now and besides being slow. Its still working well.

 

[frank 7he t4nk]

I have a Sony Vaio and have had no complaints thus far. However, from what I hear, Lenovo Thinkpads are the best in reliability and performance.

 

[jasmin]

yeah, i love my T61
they're priced great too....you can always get an ideapad for cheaper if you want.

Get a mitsubishi fam

 

[SVNTI]

Lenovo, Asus, Alienware (Overpriced IMO, but definitely great quality products) Voodoo from HP, Dell, Apple.

Those would be the main brands I would purchase from.

apple

toshiba has been extremely reliable to me. had mine for 5-6 years and looking for another one. if you want the latest gadgets or trendy brands, go with apple,although I couldn't care less about that stuff. I just need something to do basic things with (write papers, internet, download, etc), and has windows.
