I use both (!) Toshiba Satellite and Dell. Forget Dell - great desktops but shit laptops. As for my Toshiba, been using them for 15+ years and wouldn't change! Sturdy, can take occasional bumping while travelling around,, excellent service worldwide. Pricey, but worth every penny!

I am seriously into digital photography, and do a little freelance work on the side. I wanted a laptop that could handle 12 megapixel photos, and massive slideshows, as well as avi files at high speed. I contacted Sony and 'spec'ed out what I wanted and they built it for me. This was one and a half years ago. I had them put in the top of the line processor which, at that time, was 3.21 GHz. 2 GB of RAM was as high as they could go, plus the fastest video card available (don't remember which one), 60 GB hard drive (too small, but what can you do? It's a laptop). With 3 year warranty, they charged me around $5,200.
It came with XP Home installed, and I upgraded to XP Pro because it runs faster, and most importantly for me, it renders photo thumbnails about 10x faster than XP Home.
A couple months ago, I bought a Gateway laptop for my gf. I forget which model it was, but it had 1.6GHz processor with 512MB RAM; and I paid about $750 for it at Best Buy. She likes photography as well, so when I upgraded to Photoshop CS, I put my Photoshop 7 on her computer. I also put Office 2000 on it, so she can play around with Word, Excel and Powerpoint. She took it to a computer store in Pattaya to get some program installed, and the Thai computer guy said American laptops like hers go for about $2000 in Thailand. I'm not sure why that would be, but ok, now I don't feel so bad for buying her a cheap laptop, because she thinks it's expensive.
For photographers, ACDSee is a good little program for storing your pics and doing basic routines like rotating images and making slideshows - it's about $45 or so. I work in the medical industry, and I recommend to all my clients that they use ACDSee in their medical practices because it's so fast and easy.

I run HP and trash them every three years. I get good service out of mine. My suggestion on a laptop. Buy cheap. Get the three year warranty. Toss at the end.

After 3 windows based laptops and 20 years of dos/windows desktops I have just bought a 12" apple powerbook.....and very very happy with it too..was a bit aprehensive on changing over at first to a new os but had enough of windows crashes/virus/spyware etc. that I decided to give it a try
These powerbooks are nice and compact for travelling with excellent music and photo softwares and lots of other goodies too, my Ipod communicates with it and updates itself automatically
Ipod have done a deal with Motorola to develop a combined Ipod mobile phone.....cant wait for that !!!

For me;
1. I used Fujitsu for the first time that is four years ago, until know it still function good without any hassle. I keep it and now borrowed by my company for another staff that send to study abroad.
2. Now I use Toshiba the small one, it's cheap, but a little bit crap, because cable the connect hardisk with motherboard always disconnect so I have to keep screw drive in my notebook case, so if accidently disconnect I could repair anytime.
If you want to find a good Multimedia Notebook that have a huge of Ram and Hardisk, go for Fujitsu new N series, I read their advertising in FHM Magazine, that this new toy have 2 GB of Ram and 200 GB of Hardisk.

Your experience mirrors many others' - generally, after 1-2 months, there's no going back, and the switch is invariably easier than most people thought...

Don't hold your breath -- It's Motorola, so it naturally sucks. As it turns out, pretty much every reviewer agrees that it sucks. It's a shitty phone.

This may be marginally offtopic (i use 2 fujitsu lifebooks by the way). I have '000s of pics on my laptops, and inevitably some need a little work, usually on focus. I have photoshop elements but I just can't figure it out. and the autofix features of elements and msoft picture and/or adobe are'nt enough. anyone know of a high quality piece of software that fixes pics without need for high quality talent on my part? Alternatively doess anyone know a site where I can learn how to properly use photoshop?
I did find one solution which is to use Kodak picture sharing. Via this site u can fix pics very easily and powerfully. It's great but not much fun having to do everything online, even with broadband.

I bought a Gateway thru HSN. 2.8 ghz pentium 4, 1000MB DRAM, 80 GIG harddrive, 3 usb ports, cd rw and DVD player/burner. With the extra bright 15.2 inch widescreen 1280X800 pixel resolution-wow! DVD movies are awesome, especially the super high resolution ones that play on windows media player 10.
But my Power DVD cyberlink program is great paired with LTB 5.1 Dolby surround sound headphones. I even have a remote control for 30 bucks that makes the laptop work like a real dvd player.
The DVD's I burned using a free compression program and single layer DVD medium came out fantastic.
cost 1,300 US. plus some software
I am very sorry I did not spend extra bucks for centrino processer pentium M 1.7 GHZ. MY battery life is crap and it is heavy as a brick.
A pretty nice brick though...incredible imaging... if u lick the screen of hi res Thai pussy shots U can actually taste the sharp citrus tang of their juice. Or is that my battery leaking????
