I would like to depart from defending dell to join in on the Thinkpad love fest. I dont know how the new Lenovo version stands up but I had a thinkpad that I rocked for 8 years. That is like 3 eons in laptop time. I finally had to "retire" it because 500mhz just became too slow for todays applications.

Now it runs a lightweigh Linux build for fun and practice. The screen is a little loose but otherwise like new (save for all of the visual wear from a 8 years of use by a traveling businessman and student.

Yes sir, I love my 1.2ghz IBM thinkpad but its starting to get pretty slow...

I have a Dell Precision M60, it is one of their workstation laptops. It was a great computer until it decided to stop working from the battery. It just up and decided one day that it wanted to become a desktop. That being said, if I decide to get a good laptop again someday I will definitely be going back, and getting another Precision.

The real reason I bought the Dell Precision was the screen. It has a 15.4 inch widescreen display with a resolution of 1680 X 1050, which is really dense. I could have opted for 1920 x 1200 but i didn't at the time because I bought it through Dell's outlet. I really wanted to replace it with something with a screen just as good, but they don't really sell anything with a screen that good at Best Buy or any other store for that matter.

I got the accidental damage protection, and boy was that nice too. They came out to my house and replaced the hinges once. Really cool.

My current setup is a Toshiba U305-S2805, picked it up off a guy on Craigslist for $375 and it has 2 GB of ram and a Core2Duo T5450. fast enough to mess around on the net, just a hair bigger than a netbook with a screen that only measures 12.1 inches. I wanted something light and small, but with a better processor than an Atom, and this think is doing just great. Runs Windows 7 like a champ!

Dell all the way!

Price it out...

HP Laptop $750

A Mac book with the same features, as in ram, processor speed, and hard drive, with a smaller screen and less options-- $2200 minimum

not everyone has over two grand to drop on a computer just because it's pretty and white.

Yeah, Mac OSX will run on anything x86. Right? :giggle:

Mac people crack me up.
On a side note: I've been using Sony products since day one and I gotta say, its gonna be hard for me to stray away. I think I'm gonna order up an eeePC Asus netbook soon, and toss Windows 7 on it. 8+ hours of battery life, 160gb HD, tiny as hell, n280 processor, for 300 bucks??? Yes please!
