learningcurve

Asus make good laptops imo. Been very happy with the one I bought last year.

I have a Dell D600 which is 7 years old and finally showing signs of dying.

The issue here is the following. It depends on what you like. How you like the keys to feel, how big/small you want etc..

I know guys that fly a lot and refuse to get a laptop bigger than 14" but then I know other guys that want the biggest one they can find.

I personally like something in the middle. I think weight has a huge part of my decision.

Also warranty should be important too I think.

You don't need a better CPU or more RAM, you need faster drive access. Take out the HDD and put in an SSD, you won't need a new laptop.

ACERS SUCKS DICK, they are the worst.

asus or lenovo. And make sure you can easily access the fans, for cleaning and it has good air flow. THIS IS MORE IMPORTANT THEN ANYTHING ELSE.

Lenovo. Get something in the X or T lines, not that consumer crap they sell at best buy.

I've been looking hard at the Samsung 9 Series. I may bite the bullet and pick one up this weekend.

nickster

MacBook Pro with Windows 7 (bootcamp).

I have had every type of PC laptop from cheap as chips to expensive as fuck and none of them compare to the build quality of the MacBook Pro (but fuck using their OS).

Mine is fully spec'd with 500 GB SSD and all the trimmings. Hands down the best computer I have ever had.

all the Acer haters can suck it. Mine has been going strong for 4 years and the only issue has been the power adapter which I've replaced twice at $8. I think I paid $300 at Walmart in 2008.

That Samsung looks like a nice small notebook if you don't mind the 1366x768 resolution with no option to upgrade as far as I can see.

Lenovos are nice if having the FN key where the CTRL key is normally at on a keyboard does not annoy you. I really hated it when I had a Lenovo for an old job and a personal Dell at home.

What's your budget?

That was my concern with the 13" one as well. The 15" has a 1600x900 resolution, though.

I have an Acer. I chose it specifically because it was the best price-to-specs ratio I could find at the time.

The computer itself is great - good speed, etc whatever you would look for.

My problem with it is that apparently Acer keyboards suck shit. The spacebar on the keyboard broke off within a couple months (it didn't just pop off - these little metal hoops which hold the spacebar on actually snapped off) and it's not like I'm some raging keyboard beater.

Just my two cents.

First of all IBM no longer makes laptops. They sold that part of their business to Lenovo.

I would consider anything in the business class. Consumer shit is shit. It will work for a year or two but the parts are designed to DIE sooner so you need to replace it. That's why they charge $400 - $600 for something that seems 'awesome' but really sux a cock.

I would go with a Dell XPS / Alienware, Toshiba (higher end) or Sony Vaio (higher end). Yes Dell has somehow acquired Alienware.

Here:

Alienware M18x Powerful 18-inch Gaming Laptop

13.1" Lightweight Performance Laptop | VAIO Signature Collection Z Series | VPCZ21TGX/X | Sony USA

Tecra R850-S8552 Laptop

15.1" / i7 / 16GB RAM / 1GB VIDEO

Sony is way over priced imho.

I'm in the same boat, but i may just have to go macbook pro...

ScrogginsSharda

if you need a computer go for dell, IMB or any branded second hand computer, they are cheap if you buy a second hand piece... or having a cheap second hand laptop is another good offer to rely on .. whatever you are going to buy all depends on your need...
