Can't agree. We've had minimal problems with our Dell Laptops. Get a Dell direct from Dell, or a Toshiba when your local Office Depot is having a sale. I'd also get Windows XP rather than Vista.
I concur, but a new notebook can not be had with xp anymore.
I have two Dell laptops - and I have only one complaint. It will occasionally left click on its own, so I have to be careful where I leave the cursor. .
Dell has produced some fine laptops and some absolute stinkers. Personally, I think the machines are ugly, but if you do your research, you can get one of the better ones.
Acer developing a reputation for some fine hardware. I love thinkpads, but only if they’re IBM thinkpads (i.e., used). I just can’t countenance buying directly from a Chinese company.
I have to agree with you on Dell. Stay away from Sony. Company which I am a business partner in had a Sony display go bad under warranty. Problem was the warranty repair took two months. Dell would have been on site within 48 hours.
Toshiba’s been banned here. I still can’t forgive them after selling the submarine propellor machining gear to the Soviets. HP - I’d wait to see how the company turns around after running off the Carly-b!tch.
