What is the best Notebook PC/laptop brand out there?
I will be getting a new Notebook PC/laptop by October. I have made a lot of research and so far HP tops the list in terms of specifications & reviews. I’m not a very brand conscious person however its one of the factors i consider. Most branded laptops have been proven on the highest quality & could last a very long time. I would highly appreciate your inputs.

That’s a very personal question. You really have to go to the store and feel them for yourself. Sometimes the keys will be mushier than others, HP’s have glossy smooth keyboards and a dimpled textured touchpad. Most other manufacturers have a soft textured keyboard and touchpad. Sony keyboards usually feel a little less confident in their responsiveness. Also if you absolutely have to have a trackpoint then you’ll need an IBM or Lenovo. In the end it will really come down to personal preference for you and what features you want. Don’t forget though that size and weight are features if you’re planning to carry the laptop anywhere, a lot of people overlook that and just go for performance. But if you’re not going to carry it around you spent too much money on a laptop when you could’ve gotten a better performing desktop.
Personally I have a 5 year old Dell Inspiron with a 15 inch screen, and a 8 month old HP Pavillion with a 12 inch screen. I’m definitely more willing to put the HP in a bag and take it with me than I was with the Dell, and I’ve become comfortable to the glossy keyboard which really makes me want to touch it. Both are very sturdy and decently performing units, but the HP has a lot more style to it compared to the Dell.
Any way you go, whether it’s Lenovo, HP, Dell, Sony, Panasonic, Toshiba, or Apple, you won’t likely get any disrespect from other laptop users, they are all capable units ready for life with a road warrior or a student taking notes in class. When you know the specs you want, go with your heart on the rest if there are comparable units.
I would say Dell is the best brand.
I’ve always had great experiences with HP’s laptops and customer service.
I think apple has the laptop. I got my macbook, and think its absolutely amazing. My mom has had a lot of problems with her dell, and my father has had problems with his windows vista, but i haven’t had problems with my mac, and i’ve had it longer than my fathers.
alienware… usually have the highest quality parts…. dell is a good solid name brand though..
i have to say HP.
“Rugged Notebooks” of course. The name you searched on is all you need. If it is good enough for the US Military, you think it might work OK for you?
