Since best is subjective, I'm going to go with the brand that has impressed me the most. The Toshiba Tecra line has consistently proved to be a major workhorse.

My boyfriend lent his Tecra to a friend that was going to China. The moron packed it in his checked luggage. Needless to say, it got squished. The only things that broke on it were the fan and the standby pin.

The Tecra I use is the most stable machine I've had the pleasure of working with. I'm so hard on my Windows installations that I usually have to start fresh every six months to a year. My first and current installation has been humming along for almost five years.

My final anecdote is that the year I spent professionally repairing computers, I never once had a broken Toshiba laptop to work on. I helped customers through endless misery with HP, Sony, and Dell, though.

Thanks. I have to say I didn't see any IBMs in the shop either but I haven't gotten the chance to use one for an extended time.

HP is the way to go. Very reasonably priced, durable, latest technology, lightweight, and fast. I have owned 2 HP laptops so far and they work great for me. You rarely will need to call customer service, but if you have to, their support is really great and the hold times are little.
I found some best laptop deals http://www.dealjuggler.com/ and http://www.dealsofamerica.com/
Good luck!!

I've had my Toshiba Satellite for a few years. It still performs very well. I do need to buy a new battery soon. Otherwise, no problems with it.

I believe they were the ones that were catching on fire.

mac1896 Dec, 20 2006 at 07:33 PM

There were issues some time back of Sony laptop batteries (for both Mac and PC) that were catching fire, and in many cases, exploding like an M80.........

I have always liked Toshiba --- if you call and get them to custom build you one then you will have exactly what you want! That's what I always do and I have never been disappointed! I have the Tecra M5 right now. So fast and so reliable!

Computers are a personal thing of course -- it's a matter of personal preference and mine is Toshiba. : )

In my opinion the best laptops are the second generation aluminium Apple PowerBook. I've been using one for 3 and a half years now and it has never let me down! I also think that the fact that the new MacBook Pros look essentially identical to it is testimony to its timeless good looks.
