What's the Rolls Royce of laptops? The best of the best, in brand, & configuration? And, the 2nd & 3rd best ?

Answer 1

to me , sony makes a good computer, butit is way over priced. following down the list, you got HP, Toshiba that are both good. many ppl have lots of problems with Compacs, Dells, and Gatewways. Alienware are only good if you are gonna be playin games on it, and they are really over priced. Acer and Asus make reliable computers, if not the most recognized, but well priced. Asus has been a top manufaturer of motherboards for a long time, so it is a simple step for them to start making computers. IBM are business orientated computers. they are probably the most durable computers, but they aren;t the most powerful, as they are designed to run Internet explorer and Word, and thats about it.

what is the best depends a lot on what you are gonna be doing with it. if you are just gonna be surfing th einternet, then you don't need some ultra powerful ubermachine. it also affects the omptimal configuration. if you are going to be playing games, then you should get a faster single core processor. if you are gonna be doing a lot of multitasking, hgave a lot of windows open, video editing,... then a nice fast dual core cpu would be ebtter,

as far as the manufacturer of the cpu, it again depends a lot on the role it will be in, and who you talk to. AMD cpus have had a small edge in gaming untill very recently, with the release of Intel's Core 2 Duo, AMD has fallen a little behind. although AMD cpus do run cooler, which will make some difference if ti is sitting in your lap for long periods of time.

Windows XP requires a MINIMUN of 256 MB of ram, and at least 512 to run smoothly, but most systyems today do not run less than 1 GB, or 1024MB. I tested the Beta of Windows Vista. on start-up, with no other windo"upgrade"to vista, then i wouldn't get less then 2 GB of ram.

So summary: if you set it up for gaming, you can do just about anythiong, that wouold be a fast proicessor (2+GHz Dual core, or faster single core) AMD Turion X2, but an Intel Core 2 Dou would probably be better, buyt more expensiove. at least 512 MB ram, with my recommendation at 1 or 2 GB. DEDICATED graphics 256+MB. in probably an HP, Al,ienware, or sony (the last two if you're not at all concerned about price, cuz it will be expensive)

Hope this helps, and i apologize about the lenght, but i wanted to back up everything i said. i custom build my computers, and i do tend to lean toward AMD, so i wanted to also rep. intel a little

Answer 2

well there are mainy different laptops out there but sometimes going for the best isint a good idea. such as u get one that has alot more then you need. what id say is just get a laptop that isint a dell and or gateway jst get like a toshiba laptop my sis has one and even tho it is 3 years old it runs really fast and isint heavy. But if your getting it for gaming get the new alien ware laptop that is coming out it should be under $2000. when you get a laptop get a good anti virus and pop and spyware program that does all of those if you have even more than one it will slow your computer and get in the way when you try to run programs.!!! if you need anything more just email me @ [e-mail] cause im just going into this as little as i can right now that will still help you.

Answer 3

It really depends on what you want to do with the laptop.

And who you ask, exactly.

Ask a Mac fan and they will say the "The MacBook Pro" with 3GB RAM, 2.33Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo,200GB Hard Drive, and 17" Widescreen Display. It also has a SuperDrive (DVD-+RW DL) and 256MB ATI video card.
Second best? The MacBook Pro with 15" Screen, and same specs after that.
Third? The MacBook Pro with 15" Screen, and 2.16Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo. The cheapest starts around three thousand. Most expensive around four thousand.

Wintel fans? They would probably suggest a variety of arrangements from Alienware (1GB-2GB Ram) 512MB NVidia GForce Video Card, up to 200GB SATA Hard Drive, Windows XP, blah blah blah. Starting at around four thousand five hundred.
Second?

Answer 4

The best is a Macintosh...regardless of what model you pick. If you are looking for a PC/IBM compatible I really don't think it matters what you pick. The parts come from the same places and the people putting them together have a lower-end education. If you choose an HP, Dell, or IBM you'll basically get the same computer, keyboard, diskdrive, screen, and so on. What you should be concerned with is service and you probably won't get that from anyone. Your best bet is to build your own system with parts you whittled out of wood.

Answer 5

1 Alienware m9700
2 WidowPC Sting 919
3 Rockdirect Xtreme SL

all 3 are gaming laptops, because gaming needs rolls royces,
and all 3 use dual GPU SLI solution

if you want Rolls Royces, then go gaming - VoodooPC has some pretty mean laptops that have customisable paint jobs, preoverclocked options and user-selected "tattoos"

cheers

Answer 7

Definitely a MacBook Pro. For windows based laptops, Fujitsu comes to mind.

Answer 10

Well that depends on what you're going to use it for.
For example: if you want to use it for gaming i would recommend Alienware. their computers are the best (in my opinion) for gaming.
But if you want to use your computer for something else, like i said, it depends on exactly what you are going to do with it.....
