I am planning to buy laptop soon but could not make decision. Any help to make decision on this subject is appreciated.

HP Pavalion dv6423om-b $849.00 +tax
Dell Insperiaon 1521 $699.00 + tax

Hp will bo good! Dell looks ugly .....

IBM is the best as a machine as well with future support services. HP / Compaq has the worst support services.
Await till the back to school Promotion comes, you may able to save 50-100 bucks at that period. Every companies will be trying to make monies with less profit margin with volume sale.
Keep checking on reviews.

go for Lenovo series... I am using one and fully satisfied with it... good online supports

IBM - even after a few years, it will run almost like new.

Dell - They have one of the best service record. The service people are nice and friendly.

HP - Looks glittery but I'd go for IBM (if I had dough) or Dell (it is a good idea to get 3 year support thing though.. will save you lots later).

how about IBM lenovo (O:

dell latitudes are acceptable (O:

just buy intel centrino, whatever brand.

cheap ugly:dell
okay price glittery looks:HP
Classy look and feel, robust hardware:lenovo(old ibm) T61 is good model.

look for the intel processor....i dont matter whethe u buy DELL or HP

How about Vaio?

Heck,

how about Acer Aspire?

I have used Dell Inspiron and now using HP Pavilion dv2000 with some customized features addin on it. Although HP is a bit expensive; it is certainly a good decision to buy HP, not DELL. This is my experience. I am enjoying a lot with all of its featuers and fully satisfied with HP. HP is sexxy too!

I have the DELL the inspiron 640. It rocks.
It is not that ugly as previous model of Dell. Anyway it is far better than HP.
Also, compare the Price.

I recently got one HP.. it cost me 1530 with around 250 rebate and i got that within 2 mth. There is no body till now who havent appreciated it ecternally and internally i fell its the perfect to have one.



Anyways search for the deals you might get it in netter price.... GOOD LUCK!

Whatever you buy, Go for Core Duo or Core 2 Duo (preferably Intel Centrino platform), or else you'll be regretting throughout.

If you've money, and into gaming and extreme performance then get this:

It's time to move on to something small and portable.

I have used NEC, DELL, Compaq, Acer, Toshiba, IBM, Vaio, Sharp and Panasonic. The best one among them is the Panasonic Let's note W5. The only drawback is it price, too expensive for many but performance as a laptop -- most reliable, durable, good looking, light weight, long battery life, compact design, etc etc.
