toshiba: from what i have read and seen, they have a good quality, but can't keep up performance wise with systems of other manufacturers with equal specs.

fujitsu: my first and last experience with them is a HDD that died fairly quickly.

sony: loaded with features witch the average user will never need. does alright performance wise, but nowhere near the fastes. their laptops have a history of breaking. personally, i like the funky little sony laptops and desktops, however they are highly overpriced and overrated. you can get better systems for less money that will do the same thing or better.

honestly, if you really want a "great" system, you either will end up paying a good bit of money on a system from alienware, or another one of the untouchables, or you just have to build your own.

also, a general rull of thumb is not to buy from first tier company such as HP, Compaq, Micron and IBM. don't misunderstand me. IBM makes some really nice stuff, but i would never buy from them. reason, same thing as i said about sony.

someone mentioned gateway earlier in this thread. basically, their systems are kind of like a mail order HP system in my honest opinion. all of their systems i have seen and used, i have not been very impressed with. for the average internet user they would be fine though.

alright... that's all from me for now...

I would pick Dell any day out of HP. HP doesn't have any dependebilty over dell at all. Dell has sweet customer support also.

dont u dare get a dell they are the sh*t*st pieces of cr*p i ve evr bought.

i got a dell dimension 4500 and its a 2.00ghz-they underclocked the processor and they lock the bios so u cant do anything 2 make it go faster.
so if u want 2 waste ure money , fine go ahead and buy it
