Ram Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 Re: Looking for a notebook toshiba nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Why ??? Its pretty decent.. And its cheap too.. not like the inflatd dell... I got Toshiba satellite ( 1.7 Ghz , 512 Mb ram , core duo, ) for $630. Bought another 512 frm a friend for $25. So i got a 1 Gb RAM intel core duo processor for like $650..

King Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 Re: Looking for a notebook I use Dell and am happy with it. I've had IBM and Dell so far and I recommend Dell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cricketics Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 Re: Looking for a notebook Get Sony Vaio.. its pretty good.. i just gone one last to last month.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bumper Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 Re: Looking for a notebook Whatever u buy if u get a Dell, get an insurance from Dell for the laptop, a life and home insurance, so u dont burn yourself or your home down, working on it. Dell still hasnt learnt how to make a laptop. IMO, Vaios are the best ones around. (I have used Dell, HP, even a bit of ThinkPad, but like vaio best). But viao is expensive. Toshiba may be a better option than Dell if cost is the no. 1 criteria. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
varun Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 Re: Looking for a notebook I've been an Asus fan for the past 3 years. Got 2 laptops from them. Excellent quality, and worth the value. Not many ppl know of them, but they're really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jf1gp_1 Posted May 12, 2007 Author Share Posted May 12, 2007 Re: Looking for a notebook As i said i have a vaio and the way this one broke down i am not sure if i want to against buy vaio. Dell i just hate the part where you have to wait for weeks to get your machine. I dont mind paying a little extra so that i dont have to worry for the next 3 yrs. I will be using this machine for browsing maybe a little documentation but browsing and printing thats all i need a machine for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaurav Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 Re: Looking for a notebook No to Sony. Yes to Dell for laptops and some LCD screens only (with the gold guarantee or whatever it's called these days) Browsing documentation won't tax your CPU at all. If that is the only use then no need to splash out on top of the line CPU or GPU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apocalypse Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 Re: Looking for a notebook If you are going for Dell then look at their XPS series. With XPS their service is also better. You can also look at IBM X60 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had good experiences with a Toshiba (died after 3 years), Compaq/HP (bought in 2002 - still working fine) and a Thinkpad (current one used at work).
