| 483690 | 2006-09-10 09:31:00 | A little help please. Can anyone give me a clue of which laptop brand should I go? Because I don't want to go to wrong brand like DELL[Not only Battery trouble but there are other parts too]. It'll will be really nice if you guys can give me some comment about your notebook brand. Like, ASUS, HP, Toshiba, Lenovo/IBM, ACER, and etc. ;) Thanks. |

| 483691 | 2006-09-10 09:57:00 | Asus and Toshiba have always been fairly reliable. At the moment I have an Acer 3624 Lappy which is more than adequate for my needs. No problems with it so far. |

| 483693 | 2006-09-11 00:49:00 | Well, it really depends on what you will be mainly doing with your future laptop. Are you a hard core gamer? What's your budget? Will you be lugging around your laptop from places to places or using it as a desktop replacement machine? Cheers :) |

I mean so many models on the market. Wonder which one is a good one because I don't feel like buying no brand notebooks anymore. Advice or Suggestions? I just wanted a notebook for game/uni use and easy to carry around [Not Ultraprotable one]. How long should I wait for memroe processor to come out? Which brand would you guys suggest? IBM T60? Any other one? Jeez... you don't need to create another thread just because no one posted any reply in the original thread yet. All you need to do is to bump it up. Cheers :) |

| 483695 | 2006-09-11 02:21:00 | What's so bad about Dell? I've had a Latitude D810 since January and it's been working fine so far. Up until the beginning of this year I had a Toshiba Tecra S1 and found it to be very unreliable. Modem, harddrive, keyboard, screen and battery all failed in the 2 years I had it. Some more than once. |

Some more than once. Do you know DELL was being sued in China for cheap CPUs on the computer? [this was a false advertising ad anyway] I've also read others comment about DELL like DVD/CD reader not working, vibrating, etc. I've also called up the 0800 DELL and the service is so poor. Toshiba? I don't really know. Thanks for your laptops comment people. My budget is around $3000+ I mean I'm a student and my parents are not going to bare for my laptop cost. I'm not working at the moment but will try to find some jobs in the holidays. Purpose? As a desktop replacement means able to run games and can carry it around it easily for college work etc. |

| 483697 | 2006-09-11 08:09:00 | I've been frightened away from Toshiba by two bad experiences and horror stories to go with about every model they've ever made. They do some nasty design flaws. Pity, because I think they make the best laptops out there (until they break, of course). In particular I'm talking about the infamous 80-pin connector that breaks after 2-3 years and requires a new mobo AND new power supply, which all up costs $600-800+. It happened to me. Everything else dies too, the hard drives overheat in some models... That's not to say that they don't make good laptops now, they probably do, I'm just not going to buy one. |

I agree the Toshiba(Japanese PC Maker) laptops are quite cheap(maybe not durable anymore) [I've use some Toshiba itmes and they broke down after 2-3 years], even cheaper than Lenovo(Chinese PC maker) . Can't believe they didn't replace the IBM ThinkPads(known as the expensive ones) name but they're really good, but one think is a little too costly for high performance laptops . Not to mention the recent battery explosion in a Japanese conference . . . Cheers lol . Made in JAPAN batteries . I wonder where are those Lenovo's and IBM's battery are from . Now it looks like on my shopping list for laptops will remove DELL and Toshiba brand computers . NEC, Panasonic, ASUS, Acer, and other comments on other PC anyone? |
