now is a little early for x-mas shopping dont you think?

 

[.Asain-Skiier]

when you do get one please actually get good fire walls.

 

[skibikeclambake]

Lenovo make some good notebooks too

 

[Wibby]

These are the best PC based notebooks, although very expensive for the high ends models.

yay ibm

i had a ibm thinkpad before they were lenovo. thing sucks balls nowadays.

 

[BigJew]

Yup.

For build quality and general quality Lenovo is the best, hands down.

Sonys look nice, but they're really really overpriced for what's inside.

Dell tends to be a bit overpriced but sometimes you can find a nice deal.

HP is the best insides to price ratio right now. The external build quality isn't always the greatest, but they're dirt cheap for what's inside. I bought an HP dv5t for $600 when I found a 30% off coupon. And it seems like every couple weeks there's a new 30% of coupon.

Asus is also known for quite good build quality and they usually have great internals as well.

Stay away from Acer.

[pmills]

i beg to differ

17 inch + 10 inch pull out built in waccom and built in color calibration not mentioning speed specs that'll get you in situations like:

 

[ElbridgeGerry]

Vaio FTW!!

 

[pmills]

[poh_money]

Bump.

Any good things to say about the Sony Vaio FW series laptops? Or any recommendation on which Sony Vaio?

 

[.KYLE.]

bahaha the QVC prank was great

 

[2+2=5]

stay away from acer, gateway, and compaq. lenevo is good, but not as good as IBM used to be. sony looks cool and a solid build, but they are expensive when it comes to whats inside. i'd get an Asus or like a Dell studio. i'd just wait until Dell has a sale, i just bought a new dell that was 400 dollars off but its canada only.

 

[BootySpunk.]

But I don't need 8 gigs of ram...I'll prolly get 4...but it says I can only have a SSD in the laptop...is this the norm nowadays? since I want more than only 150gb

 

[hartig]

...you can get anything from like 100-500 on sony's website..

 

[BootySpunk.]

But since it's SSD it costs a shit ton of money for a legit hard drive size. Or maybe I am looking in the wrong place
