Best Laptop Company

I'm in the market for buying a laptop

I don't know which company is the best for laptops. I wanted an apple at first, but it can't use most of the programs I use daily.

I've heard from many sites that Dell is pretty good..

Acer...jointed

Lies! We had so much trouble with the Acer brand when I worked retail. Terrible. Maybe they've gotten better in the past year but.. ugh I will never buy one of these.

Well Sammy, now that we've narrowed it down for you, which one will you be choosing?

apple. what programs won't you be able to use?maximusmmii

Well winrar, and..torrents :)

I know apple can use torrents but I heard it doesn't use them well.

I'll be using the laptop mainly for video/photo editing (I know Apples are good for that)

I'm kind of leaning towards a Dell.

My only problem with Macs is that..they're so overpriced..

It's between Dell or Apple..sammyjenkis898

You should really be looking at Toshiba also. Excellent customer service and reliability.

I have a Toshiba and a Compaq (which is owned by HP).

But as I said in my first post, I worked retail for almost 2 years. We rarely had problems with Toshibas and Sonys and Toshibas are priced to be affordable (unlike Sony).

I've also dealt with their customer service and Dell's. Dell's wasn't bad when I dealt with them but they gave a friend of mine the run-around for almost 3 hours regarding warranty service.

I'd say go with Toshiba, but if you are looking for a cheap short-term laptop Dell may not be a bad choice. I know nothing about Apple laptops so I cannot help you there.

if you're between a dell or apple.. go for the macbook. trust me. i switched about 5 months ago and i don't regret it. cool looking (os and laptop - they feel different than other laptops.. ull see what i mean), very unlikely to catch a virus, you can install windows on it, runs great and it has some great programs. dell laptops are good but if you're willing to dish out money for a mac then go for it.thecobraholder

The only thing that holds me back on the Apple is that it can't use a lot of programs..

like..?thecobraholder

Windows Live Messenger..Many Torrent programs..

alienware altho its pricy unless you got like 4 grand to blow....livingrapture

right now, Toshiba is the best computer if your looking at quality/price ratio.

Dont get a mac. Instead, you should stick with windows as that is what 85-90% of the world uses. And besides, i dont know why macs are so good for photo, music, editing or whatever. My freind has a mac, and i can do anything he does.

Do i have anything against macs? No, of course not. But i do think mac fanboys are funny because they act like the mac is SO much better then windows, when in reality if anyone is better, it would be windows. Anyways, if you are looking for best laptop companies, definetly go with Toshiba

I'm talking to a friend of mine on MSN right now who is on a Mac. However, I'd never get a Mac myself, as all my games wouldn't work on it. If you're after a laptop though (not designed for gaming anyway), I'd still never get a Mac, as for the price you're paying for a Macbook, you can get something a lot more powerful (and personally, just as sleek looking) by someone by, say, HP or Toshiba, hell even Sony!

microsoft messenger is available for mac and it looks great. lol and one of the best torrent programs on earth is only available for mac :transmission. it's fast and considered one of the best. any other?!

Everyone here who has mentioned acer has said they are rubbish. Wrong answer. I have had 3 acer laptops over the last 3 years and I still use 2 of them now. fairly good spec, good screens and i have never had one go wrong.

These are true facts

#1 - Macbooks (i dont have one) #2 - acer (i have one, and omg they are great and very cheap prices on them) #3 - Toshiba
