Why does it just say Compaq instead of HP? Anyway I like Compaq and HP, and everyone else I know seems to have a HP/Compaq computer too. We're all pretty satisfied. Pretty much all of the choices in the poll are good except Dell.

Compaq and dell suck though... you have some sucky friends!

Acer and Dell are craptastic as well. Sony low end (and middle end) laptops suck, but there high end ones are fairly good.

I said Compaq purely because they're owned by HP and I really like those laptops :].

I'm saving up for a HP one at the moment, for the price you can get really good specifications, they come with very little junkware on them and they run really nicely. Still contemplating whether to buy Windows XP Professional to run on it instead of Vista though; hmm.

Check out the HP website there are some awesome deals on there, plus their laptops are fit.

If you prefer the "boutique" brand name, and being able to customize everything (practically) then you will want to go to alienware, they are mint! You can choose what proccessor, screen, gfx card, keyboard etc... and it even has tube lighting all round the screen and a lit up keyboard that you can change to any colour you want :p

RE: What Kind of Laptop is best?
you're not going to get any decent answers in this thread except for "thinkpad" and "alienware", since all of the other options (hp, compaq, dell, acer, etc) are crappy middle-end laptops with no significant features. if your choices are between hp, compaq, acer, and sony, then it doesn't really matter, because no matter what you buy it would just be the same laptop with a different brand name on it. in fact, the brands you listed aren't even significantly *known* for their laptops, whereas lenovo, alienware, etc. are.

The only drawback to alienware is their poor customer service, but wow ShawnZ agreed with me lmao, this is a first!

I own an Alienware M5550, and although I haven't had to contact customer support quite a lot, I can say that the times that I did have been quite pleasant.
