I am about to buy a new laptop and wanted to know what everyone thinks is the best built brand. I mean construction that is the best and strongest, not the fastest machine for the money. I am leaning strongly towards IBM but does everyone at least agree that they are one of the better makers along with maybe Sony or Apple? I had a Compaq and it sucked and when I look at HP's and other brands they seem to be built pretty cheap. I realized when most people go computer shopping they get the fast processor most memory blah blah blah I just want the one made with the best parts. Thanks Does this smell like a poll? |

IBM is a great machine, but overpriced IMO. One option you might want to check is Sager www.sagernotebook.com/index.html. Their laptops are very nice and they have the best customer service and best prices around. Although, if it is physical reliability you are talking about I think IBM is tops in this category. |

I've owned many laptops. IBM, Toshiba, Winbook, Sony, NEC and now a HP 7000 ZD series with the 17" screen. The HP 7000 ZD weighs a ton but is great for presentations and its wireless G is bulletproof. HP is okay, they all have their respective strenghts and weaknesses. To me, a laptop/notebook is obsolete when I take it out of the box so I don't get too wound about speed, memory and such. I buy the fastest at the time only to have it dusted in less than a month with a new model. After 2.8 in processor speed, there's little, in my opinion worth shelling out for. |
