I personally like Dell. I tried Compaq, and it's not good and not bad, something in the middle. My boss at work have a compaq too, but it's pretty good and reliable, he is a very heavy computer user as we are an IT company, the notebook has been working very fine with him for 2 years till now and nothing at all, no problems.
Another fellow worker has an LG Notebook and it's very good too, slim, reliable and seems robust.

Yes but he has an ad in computer sales. Doesn't mean he has/doesn't have them but he's advertising.flame1117 said:
As for a good notebook I'd take a look at emachines. They make some pretty kick ass notebooks for a reasonable price.
Edit:: It seems as if they stopped making them, not entirely sure though.

i have an hp pavilion ze4125 and wow its nice, only wish it had a better graphics card but it 3 yrs old so i cant complain, the hp's are relativaly cheap compared to the other brands and they are made with pretty good parts
the dell laptops ive seen are nice but arnt really "portable" because they are pretty big

I've got a desknote. It has some minor problems, lacks a batter(mostly a mobile desktop) but really nice otherwise.
Averatec's do seem nice. I have considered selling my desknote and purchasing one of those. Not sure how reliable they are or how long they last, but the specs/price certainlly seem great.
My brother has had his Compaq for about 6 years or so and it's still...ok. The HD had to be replaced and his mouse buttons are all messed up. Other wise, I beleive it's been a decent system. Dad got a used HP about a year ago. It was pretty nice, but the screen acts up on him.
Toshiba is probably the best brand I've seen, or Sony. I've not really used them, but I have seen many older Toshiba's still chugging away. And my old Toshiba PDA was GREAT! I just returned it due to it's crappy battery life ^^;

Compaq and HP are great, Compaq for gaming and HP for pictures and video stuff. Compaq is also really, really cheap for what they give you and it's all quality. The only reason I'm saying that is because I was doing research on laptops for about 3 months about 3 months AGO, and Sony's way too expensive, gateway has always sucked, dell jacks up prices, has bad quality unless you pay for an XPS series notebook, and is overall not a good company, and everyone else didn't have the power I want. There are actually a couple companies out there that sell at even better deals (Cnet tells you about some) and can compare to Alienware with notebook power, the only problem, sometimes they don't build them right and refuse to help you out (with Cyberpower and iBuyPower, just about every customer said that, but the ones that got it right loved them). So look around, but if you don't want to do research, just look at HP and Compaq.
