What is the best Laptop Brand in your opinion?

**Padre** · 07-07-09, 08:54 PM

have to agree, Toshiba seem to knwo their stuff with these units...

A CRT emulated 50hz LCD panel (great for video and text), decent GFX card ( less than a 7300 and ur wasting ur time.. mine runs doom3 at 120fps without skipping a beat) battery power is fairly decent.. i got mine about 3yrs ago for $1700 and by todays standard its still up there with the best of 'em so im not complaining.

I edit and render full res HD video with Magic Bullet2 using dual Core and GPU plugins that run faster than realtime... using external USB drives and it doesnt skip a beat... knock on wood, I havent even had any SW faults on it to warrant a reinstall of the OS.
All drivers have worked flawlessly from BT through to the dodgy soundcard, through to DUN...

the only issue I have is the burner is quite crap and has only done abotu 500 odd burns before i started noticing its starting to get picky with media thrown at it...

Personally I am not overly Brand loyal these days as I have seen troublesome notebook models with pretty much every brand name on them.

As a rule though I would agree with Toshiba being mostly a solid choice and also worth a mention are IBM/Lenovo and Dell who have made many rock solid models in the past (D 4/5/6 series amongst others).

When someone asks me, I stand on mine...

Gotta say Toshiba, bit pricey though. I Have a Dell XPS M1530 for about 9 months now no issues.

i have had 5 Asus laptops i just keep passing them onto family as i keep upgrading and have never had an issue only on my second last laptop i took it into the service center they changed the LCD and as a precaution the graphics card as well all in 24hrs i have had other brands but IMO nothing touches them. I now also use their motherboards in two desktops and again they are bullet proof( except if you actually do shoot them).

Over the last 7 years i have been lucky enough to work with two of my own Hp laptops and several belonging to others and i have yet to have any problems what so ever, however moving along to the topic of Acer i have never had anything but trouble from anything acer ever including televisions!!

I've been using a Sony Vaio ever since. So far, it has not let me down.

**memosyd** · 12-01-10, 08:28 PM

anything but sony, they are a racist company, why ? they seem to have this thing about making all their peripherals memory cards to only work in their machines, hence if u have a sony memory card, u need a sony computer to read it.

I have chosen Toshiba because every person spoken too have recommend it.
Apparently Dell had lots of problem (which was my first choice because it was cheap)
So am glad got Toshiba after the first hiccup, everything is a okay..
Thanks to all the wonderful people convincing me to take Toshiba..

I preferred the 'old' dell series/models. Has been using Dell inspiron 9300 (17") for the past 4 years.

Anyway my favorite brand which I also think is the best is AlienWare. Would love to have one if possible. They are costly though.

Hi
well i always use and always suggest HP/COMPAQ laptops. hp machines very convenient and very easy to use no problem with drivers we can use it professionally specially in south asia, HP machines environment friendly rather then other brands. HP is the best

Thanks
Regards

I have two Asus laptops (why I have two, because I horde!) and I will probably buy them again, thats how happy I am with them.

Motorola ML910, and here's why

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ckIV1MhGbXo]YouTube - Motorola ML910 vs Panasonic Toughbook CF-30[/ame]

I am forever dropping the darn things during my day-to-day work I had to take the step up to one of these babies. One time I left mine on the roof of my work car and drove 15Km's with it on the roof, once I hit the M4 Entrance headed west, the thing flew off and the car behind me ran over it. I pulled over and picked it up and I'm still using it today.

Hey

I work with IBM's/Lenovo's would never touch one also there warranty sucks same goes for Compaq/HP

I have just brought Alienware Lappy through Dell been really good so far the Warranty and service is excellent

Had a Toshiba before that too they are bulletproof good warranty also

Also when doing google research Asus seem to be awesome as well but dont know personally.

**Jaz808** · 31-03-10, 03:46 PM

Have to add Alienware now

**jamesv** · 11-04-10, 07:31 PM

we are dragging up an old post but until recently always had Dell's, which are still going (04 Inspiron cost me $5.5k). Been using Asus for last 18 months and about to but new lappy. Will use Acer again.
