Laptops.... Loaded question..
Your need to ask what you want it to do for you..
HP, Dell make some good laptops. IBM makes a good one yet the drivers for them are a little funky.
You need to look at weight versus battery life and such. Also screens are
another cost factor...
I have both IBM and HP laptops and prefer HP. I have worked on Dells and they are good for the money, excellent value. The additional cost of the HP's can only be warranted by actual needs...

Wally, I need it mostly for word processing applications but will also be using for Internet applications and photo stuff. No gaming or anything that would need a crazy video card or processor. Also I will mostly be near a power source. I mainly need something I can just pack up and take with me when I need to.

I'm real happy with my Dell Desktop so I'm leaning toward a dell Laptop but my dad has a HP that he loves and swears by. What about battery life, I heard that on a good one you can get about 45 min as long as your not running video??
W/ my HP I can last 45 min to an hour depending on what I'd doing on it... making sure it's totally charged before that ofcourse. I think you can get other batteries too to make it last longer... but I could be wrong about that. But yeah, I'd say 45min to be safe... sometimes an hour just depending on how fully charged it was to begin w/.

Tomorrow when I am at work i will look up some models for ya.

My daugher LOVES her apple laptop, but it was like .... $1000

I have the Sony Vaio VGN-S260. I pcked it because of the size, it was one of the smaller Laptops out there and it had all the features that the others had.

I have two I use one is a Dell 8600 (big one) and a Dell 700m (little one) I really like 700m all the features I want and go to ebay and do a search for Dell coupon and see what you find! I bought a coupon code for $1.99 that saved me $800.00..
I own Dells and love them..but there are many good ones out there but I like Dells the best..
Good luck

DELL... just like buying a boat... you need a company that offers some decent service after the sale.
