Lap top

according to consumer reports there is not enough data to claim one brand is better than another. 1 1/2 yrs ago, I bought a Toshiba Satellite w/ 15.4" screen, I chose this laptop because I liked the clairity of the screen and a guy at work had one without problems. I've had no issues with it, no Vista horror stories, and recommend it.
My buddy has had an HP for about the same amount of time with no issues.
I say stretch the buck and go for the best deal.

I have a dell latitude d620, built in wifi
with 4 gig of ram and a 350 gig hard drive
no issues for over a year

The only thing I do not like is the thing run hot, almost too hot to touch.

Had a major battery recall a few months ago. On battery I get around 2 1/2 hours on the most economical setting.

it's all about the battery
