What make of laptop do you have?

Tom Dunne

Just curious as to the different types of makes people have. Also, I would be interested in any problems you have or had with the make/manufacturer.

To get the ball rolling, I've an IBM/Levono Thinkpad which I purchased from Laptopsdirect. No complaints on either.

toshiba - nice no problems
dell - ok, some issues with power to usb ports.
samsung Q35- new from laptopsdirect, no issues as yet

A basic one, Dell Inspiron 1000 and have to say never any problems with Dell with many, many dealings with them.

MacBookPro for the Win! If i ever find a woman with as good build quality I shall covet her forever!

I'm only a recent OSX cherry convert but I can see myself spending quite some time with the os in the future.

Before that I was a ferrari convert, had an f4005 (fantastic build quality) and F3400 (good machine but bit of a let down with heat disappation) and before those it was a Gateway s400 (if memory serves me correctly) which was bulky but powerful and cheap, since i bought it in the US.

Crap. In my usual blinkered approach, I completely forgot about Macs. I would be interested in seeing if anyone actually has a bad thing to say about Macs.

Apple Powerbook here. It's served me very well for almost 4 years now. Still works great, but the battery life has gone to the dogs.

I'll be upgrading to a Mac Book Pro the next time they update the product line.

Dell Latitude D600 - the one supplied by work!
Only problems being it is nearly a relic and this stage and I was hoping for a D620

Vaoi for 5 months or so - class. only downside is you have to use their disk when reformatting cause the drivers for the shortcut keys are a bugger to install(only availablr for xp and vista too)

I added it as a poll option. If that's a problem I can edit it out.

Alienware m5700 and a crappy little sotec(i know) notebook with a line running down middle of screen. The alienware is a great desktop replacement.
No problems so far with it, other than it does get a little hot at times.......;)
