silencer Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 I recommend Dell. They have very good offers for business (not only business laptops) and if some of your friends work for company you should ask him for one of this offer. Dell prepare one good offer every month with the highest support form and better components with nice prize (sometimes a class higher than on their official page, but in the same prize). I bought my XPS 15 from Oracle guy and I can't complain on anything. Of course you can modify offer with exacly what you want - lustreless matrix? No problem. With configuration what I have in Apple I will overprice 3x and still have not e.x USB 3.0 and 7200 RPM HDD etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ishmoo21 Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 all the computers i have ever had have been dells except for when i bought a hp laptop and hated it and sold it. i know there are probably other good companies out there but the only problem i ever had with dell was a graphics card failed on me 3 months after buying a desktop computer 6 years ago just wait if you can until they have a really good coupon... sometimes as high as 34% off. good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Pope Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 MSI, Asus, Dell, Lenovo... Toshiba and Samsung are ok.There all solid machines, they all use mostly intel mainboards and to be honest other than there layout most of them use similar internalsI would stay clear of an entry level HP, Compaq, Acer, they are bottom feeders and there internal parts are garbage.Stay clear of the DV series from HP... I see about 3 -10 a month that either have bad inverters, bad screens or a bad mainboards. The company I work for is a Lenovo service center and well we rarely see any in for service other than to clean infections.I heard one can special order an assembled laptops nowadays. You mostly have to be a whitebook/system builder to get parts but you can find companies that will sell the laptop shell.http://www.rkcomputer.net/rkcnotebooks/ is a place that sells compal and MSI barebone laptop shells Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RadioActive Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Personally, I prefer Sony followed by Toshiba, what can I say; I like Japanese brands :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niharjhatn Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 http://www.alienware.co.uk/Oh man, you cant be seriousThey have a good case and all, but ridiculously overpriced. I mean ridiculously! I'd say ASUS G series are probably best bang for your buck, but toshibas are OK as well.I have an ASUS, but after about a year, its starting to get problems regarding temps ( I oc'd my graphics card), and its harddrive is pretty crap as well (thats why its cheaper!)If you are feeling adventurous, try out CLEVO/SAGER laptops - my friend grabbed one, they are quite cheap, good build, don't overheat, awesome components. customize and all!You can take a look at http://www.xoticpc.com/custom-gaming-laptops-notebooks-clevo-sager-notebooks-ct-95_51_162.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7even Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 Go for ASUS bro. It's cheaper than others. :dance2: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxhedroom Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 In my experience, Tosh, Dell, Asus, and Lenovo are good choices...but that doesn't mean they are the only good ones by any means. ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sands Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 I'm using a Dell Inspiron now, I like it a lot.It gets a little hot on the bottom because of poor vent placements, but other that that I'm happy with Dell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeetPirate Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 Go for ASUS bro. It's cheaper than others. :dance2:Yea go for ASUS. They have good stuff. I have an ASUS, it works great. My second choice would be DELL. ASUS does not have the best warranty but I buy ASUS because there is a great chance of getting high quality so I never have to bother with warranty. I choose DELL for family and relatives because they have the best warranty, I called them once and they sent a guy over with a replacement hdd in 3 days. I guess it would vary by country. Definitely do NOT buy hp, unless you want a laptop that can also be a space heater or a leg roaster or the cause of your house burning down.

mara- Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 I would stay clear of an entry level HP, Compaq, Acer, Well, I would highly recommend Acer. I have it over year now and it works great. Laptop was cheaper then Toshiba and other but I got much better configuration then I would get with Toshiba for example. LCD is also fantastic. Image is unbelievable good.Cheers ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kojootti Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 I definitely recommend Dell (got Dell Inspiron) since they give you along windows 7 OEM dvd,downline on HP machines,since all is "pre-installed"on the HD. (Btw,little hint... When booting the new HP or other similar computer for the FIRST TIME with pre-installed OS+software,HIT HIT HIT that "go to BIOS settings key"and change it to boot FIRST from USB.. save settings+boot the computer from USB STICK with Acronis True Image on it,make a full sector-by-sector backup of the main+hidden partition (from where it installs the stuff on C-drive,and then it tags stuff on the hidden partition that its already installed..) to another external USB-HD,so if you ever gonna sell that machine tosomeone,restore those images back on the machine,and it starts up as a brand new machine with (possible) options to choose the OS language etc..@majithia23:Dunno if you're using some cheaper models of HP comps,I have nothing to complain about them,except the battery is garbage on most HP machines..I have 2 HP's and they only have one problem, batteries are dead,and not planning to buy a new ones. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
