The best laptop Brand?
 

What do you think is the best laptop brand?

Personally IBM (now Lenovo) has been the best so far for me.

What is your favorite laptop brand?

I have supported Dell in serveral organizations and they always have been pretty reliable as far as the corporate line of Laptops.

I personally prefer Dell and Acer, but Sony is also becoming a favourite of mine. I really can't choose between these three.

I voted for Dell, but agree with your comment on Sony. They are quickly becoming a brand I like to read about more and more, and I'm actually leaning towards a Sony for my laptop purchase. I picked Dell in the poll, though, because I have more experience working with them and feel they are pretty good all around.

I currently own a 2nd hand dell, that must be 5-6yrs old easy, and it's the best thing i've ever owned.. well maybe 2nd to my iPod, but tha'ts beside the point. Dell is a decent company i have dealt with them on many occasions, if was ever to buy a pre-built computer they would definatly be in teh consideration column. Quality parts and reasonable prices, they try to meet the market in the middle and offer upgrades to suit anyone.
Yes Sony is quickly gaining respect on the laptop market. I recently had the prvilage to 'play' with a Vaio and they certainly don't disappoint. I am anxious to see what they have up there sleeves.

Acer
 

acer is not as well known as the other brands but for mid-range portable computing i have found that there laptops provide the best value for money

My husband recently got a Lenovo or whatever it is. American Express had a special deal over Christmas and he took advantage of it. It has like thumb-print recognition for security. He is very happy with it. He won't let me play with it, though, so I can not give any first hand feedback.

i really use , like , handle , support ... DELL because it is the most reliable laptop i ever seen . the one that i don't know about it is SONY i think it is the best one but it is very expensive

You can't beat Sony!
 

Sony without a doubt, you've only got to look at all the hardware they make!

If there behind on anything that there sticking there nose in on, then it won't be long before they catch up and do a great job, and I never have to think about wether it is going to be reliable, they certainly know what they're doing!

I've professionally worked with Compaq/HP, Dell, and now IBM (lenovo).

As far as durability and quality goes, I would say IBM has the others beat. But they lack a little design (which is up for taste I suppose) and usability. HP laptops for the business market are relatively nice, but very average in all respects. Dell laptops have a nice look, good service, good quality, and great displays. They also offer slightly better performance laptops than the others do for the same price.

As for most other brands, I am not so sure they work in a corporate environment with their service network and small customer centric approach. They sometimes offer slightly better value, but almost always less quality. Yet I must agree that Sony is working hard on becoming better than the rest.

(By the way, hi!)
