compared pretty well all the majors...
don't have a huge budget but i don't want a crap computer either. maybe 1500 CDN or so...

leaning toward asus or toshiba. needs to be thin/light with CDRW. (should have 512MB DDR...)

basically comes down to personal opinions on the subject.
appreciate input on this one... thanks peeps.

Toshiba is definitely a good way to go.

Nobody should buy a Laptop with a Pentium 4 processor.

The heat it would generate, the resulting fan noise, and the drop in battery time should put anyone off.


By the way Dell are generally seen as 'too cheap' by most people, in that they cut corners to sell at a low cost. I have never heard anyone call them expensive.

Do you really need a laptop versus a PC? I know you get the portability with a laptop, but you take a real beating in performance and price for the convenience. If you really don't need that laptop after all, then don't spend foolish bucks for less power. If you travel a lot, yeah a laptop is good. If you're a student and don't, then a PC is the better bargain.

A very good point, and of course most people who need a laptop don't need the weight (and cost) of a high spec laptop, unless you want to play NEW games on the road there is no reason to spend silly money on a laptop.
