Wow, I'm on my 4th Dell laptop and I've never had to call tech support, or experienced any problems at all. What exactly did all these people do to them?
There's really no such thing as good/bad anymore, they all use the same shit.

ive had to call dell alot for hardware failures.
here is the review for the Sagers younger brother... http://reviews.cnet.com/Sager_NP… its pretty much the same computer but the one i showed you is 2 times as powerful...

Leisure he ignored you, because he explicitly stated he wanted PC, you must've forgot that while you were out on your recess thinking up witty insults. We all respect good design, but some of us have a sense of a budget. I built my pc, and its wonderful. I took time picking the best parts for the job. I'm a diy kinda person I guess, what I'm saying is you chose a mac because they could do it for you, after all it is generally an over glorified pc nowadays. To me its all a matter of which tool you're comfortable with.... thats all that it comes down to, stop ripping people for their preferrence. Your mac doesn't make you a better or worse designer.

Thanks for all the good leads. I am going to probably consider either Dell or Toshiba. Alienware is an option too, but a bit pricey (plus I am not to found of the blinking alien eyes).
More suggestions... drop 'em in here.

just to let you know Generic... Alienware laptops are manufactured by Sager... so pretty much your getting an alienware.... that might change your mind ;)

oh yeah forgot my reccomendation. That goes to say put up a notch for sager. Two of my colleagues got one within the past year and they're loving them.... well built lappies indeed.

My dell inspiron, though not beautiful, has never given me problems in almost 3 years. My girlfriend's sony vaio however, has given us fits since day 1 and their service is horrible.

I'd agree with no Sony. The President and CEO of Office Depot uses Toshiba.

-1 for Toshiba in my book..... Office Depot is balls

Using a Dell Laptop (Inspiron 8600) - has 1 gig ram, 7200 HDD, 128meg Raedon video, DVD writer - my first time using a laptop as a design workstation - I plug an external 20inch into the back and use it with 2 screens. I barely touch my home PC anymore. Had zero problems. I actually find it faster than a PIV 3gig machine I had at my last job - maybe it just feels faster :)
I think the main appeal with Dell laptops is what you get for your money and knowing that it's not hacked together from misc. pieces by some backyard shop.

but but but... If you only knew..... Dells are pieced together by some guy in a garage in arkansas.. ;)

i just got a vaio k15 and upgraded to a gig of ram and it ROCKS... it cost me like 1600 at comp USA. comperable machines were about the same give or take 100 bucks. So, I chose the vaio and i am very happy I did. It is definately a desktop replacement for me. I have a 3 year warentee too. take that, dell. i paid extra for the warentee, but even with that is was about the same as the dell and the compaq i was looking at.
if you have that much money, get the k17. its a couple hundred more. its the top of the line vaio right now.
