I have a PowerBook G4, which is essentially an old version of the macbook pro. I actually use it as my desktop computer, and have a 30 inch screen attached to it, no problems. A mac is a great buy for anybody. It might seem more expensive, but if you take a computer with comparable specs of a different brand, its still pretty competitive, not to mention just plain pretty :) Also, factor in the amount of time and money spent debugging and getting frustrated about the poor layout of the Microsoft operating system, and you've got one hell of a bargain.
I might be biased, but so is anybody else that tries to convince you of something.

i have a dell inspiron 700m. I'm not quite satisfy with the quality of the product. my battery is defected, so i got a refurbish one for replacement. About a year later, the touchpad broke down, so I gotta use a mouse. And now the usb is very loose and one of them is broken. Guess I'm just pure out of luck. My cousin has the same laptop and got none of those problems, except the battery going bad after a year, but that's normal. IBM's ThinkPad has pretty good quality compare to dell, but usually it is very expensive. You can get student discount though.

Well it depends what you want to do with it.
If you're looking for a business laptop, I would suggest one of the Dell notebooks for reliability. However, a lot of the time you get ripped off on prices from Dell and other big name companies.
If you would like to build your own, you can go to http://www.ibuypower.com and create your own to your needs. While it isn't as reliable because they'll be much more reluctant to replace your laptop than Dell with their warrantee, you'll save an absolute fortune.

I got a Dell Inspiron E1505 last summer. It's pretty nice. I've noticed alot of crap running in the background the more and more I search the internet... think it'll last another 2 years before I gotta give it up. Had a Toshiba before this that lasted 4 years... problem was the company never wanted to honor a warranty.

I have a Dell Celeron preinstalled with Windows Vista Ultimate, Microsoft Office 2007, and all the latest. I customized it myself so all I have right now are just the essentials. It has 400GB of memory since it was customized and unbelievably faster than the latest MAC. I compared the speeds of my Vista laptop with a Macbook of my cousin, my laptop is much faster.

I own a Compal HGL30. For the size its a decent gaming laptop so I'm very pleased with it, though the fan is a little annoying sometimes.

mac book pro...hands down the best laptop out there...kinda expensive, but you get what you pay for. if you do get a mac, get the 3 year warrenty...it's worth it incase something happenes...everyother kind of computer sucks..because it's operating on "vista" microsofts new programing...it's bad because you can't dl music on it....and i've even heard that you can't listen to music on it either
G' luck :)
