  • DELL
    COMPAQ
    SONY
    ACER
    OTHER

and let's say, that it will be used to work and at the same time have internet with MP!L and all the stuff.

also taking into account tech specs.  HD, Ram, etc.

Personally I'm looking at the Toshiba M600, I need something powerful, light and small, but it doesn't need to be able to play games.

It all depends on what it is going to be used for and what your budget is and how much you are going to move it around.  If you are only going to use it around home then I highly suggest getting a desktop instead.

That's a decent laptop indeed, Markee.

I am also looking into a second laptop (Mother has taken my laptop so she can use it whilst at work).

Anyone own a Dell XPS 1330? I'm going to be running Vista Ult, and it'll mainly be used for loads of presentations and document formatting, so if you have a better recommendation let me know :).

yeah, XPS laptops are just monsters. But did not think before on a Toshiba....

I wanna get one for work and for other stuff, like videos, music and...maybe games.

By the way, what do you think about Compaq computers?

IMO Dells arent very good, Sony's are great if you can afford them, Acers are good allrounders, not sure about COMPAQ. If i where you i would go for an Acer or a Toshiba

That is good. Tks.  I am asking on Compaq because I have a friend who is selling me his Compaq laptop, but I'm not sure if this is a good deal, and now that you are telling me, I haven't check the prices of the Toshiba or Acer computers.  I know Acer are nice and good computers. 

I would have to pay 600 USD for the Compaq.... doesn't sound like a deal right?

Acers have good specs for cheap prices but their build quality isn't overally good.
