    Yeap have to agree with chris. Cannot go past Toshiba for quality. I have not used Lenovo but I have only read good things about them, they are very popular throughout europe.

    Dell are on special at the moment because they are crap. I only bought my Dell last week for the wife to use on face book and it won’t even play they basic game she likes so I now have a Dell and she has the 12 month old compaq. The Dell wasn’t a low end entry model either but it apparently has a older graphics card than the compaq as Dell put in all their old components into laptops as they knew their would be a rush on laptops B4 june 30 as punters wanted to get the tax benefits. Basicly Dell at the moment are crap.

    It is probably like anything you can buy, their are good and bad in all items but I researched computers B4 I bought mine and heard all the good things about Dell. All I am saying at the moment Dell computers have a lot of old components in them at the moment and you don’t know until you open the box and find out it don’t do what you want it to do.

    i bought an asus when my hp died and i lost 6 months worth of work. (stupid me i know).
    at the time (about 4 years ago) asus was not very well known by the general public. so their $3600 dollar lap tops were not selling well. so they decided to sell that model for a little over $2000 to get the public to try them out. i bought one and can’t kill it. it often operates for hours insulated in a blanket and still won’t die. and it rides to work with me.

    i also needed a laptop that i can plug into tvs and data projectors for presentations. this asus is designed for this. it also handles cad well. i have not tried it out on games though.

    i have heard that the quality of lap tops have declined over the years to be more price competative. i have also heard a few years ago that tosibas are tough. not tonka tough, just tougher than average.
