I will only buy Dell. Period. Why? Superior customer support especially the on-site service and support. There was once when the KB failed on my Latitude C600, Dell technicians fixed it on the spot in less than 15mins. Try that with Acer or HP.

i've used fujitsu... good and reliable.. but abit xpensive...bulky, unless get table pc.

dell.. forget it... x1 maybe.

now i got 2 ibm thinkpads... very primitive design, but durable... hardy... one 240sx (compact model... external cdrom/floppy.. so very light) .. and another T42 ... big, weight is ok... performance... ok oso.. but i trashed it alot... install shits... so, slowed down the performance. Time to do housekeeping.

 

[zephyr3d]

oh yea, and compaq armada... that one can throw into dustbin.. one of the worst laptop i've used in my ex company. The housing is like some cheap plastic... 10 units go out, 9 came back wit cracked housing.

 

[reddice]

acer is ok bro..

 

[4agze]

i'll go Sony, Toshiba or Fujitsu for first choice... 2nd choice would be DELL for their customer services...

 

[skyline]

i will go for thinkpad T43p.... but the price... hehehehe

For short.. Toshiba is the first notebook in the world. they invent a lot of things including the bluetooth! They the first that came with better screen display "CSV-Clear super view" then acer followed with "Grid Vista". Toshiba own the technology "Hard disk with shock absorber" (only applied to toshiba laptop, even u buy the hard disk alone, u wont get the technology-but even some other notebooks brand using toshiba hard disk as its reliable) toshiba casing is very tough) Dont forget.. even the cheapest Toshiba is having this technology and the cheapest is also equipped with SRS Surround speakers. Who is the people looking for Toshiba? Pilots, engineers, architect..why? simple....its reliable.....how i know? i asked them :)

Those who condemn ACER notebook shall really go and try it out before they put any condemn.
I'm an ACER notebook user for the past 4 years, and all my ex-company staff are using Acer notebook, not much problem. Frankly, seldom we send the notebook for service or warrantly claim.

1 shit thing about ACER is that they outsource their after-sales support to highpoint, you need to bring your notebook to Subang to claim warranty, and they usually take 2-3 man days to fix even a simple problem.

DELL, best thing is the free 1 year on-site support. But I dunno why DELL still having the mouse icon "Auto-move" bugs. It happen since those 6 years-old DELL until the latest white colour Inpiron. DELL just can't get the problem solved. Some were saying that bug is cause by optical mouse driver.

How many of you have DELL keyboard problem? 3 out of 5 DELL notebook in my company need to change the keyboard during warranty period, maybe i'm bad luck.

Currently using IBM ThinkPad, yah, IBM sold the desktop and notebook unit to Lenovo.
