What brand of laptop/notebook would you recommend getting?

I'm completely behind the Mac 100%. Of course, it depends on what you'll be using it for...

School, office, production (music, photos, etc...) = Mac! (Cost: $599.00 - $3299.00USD)

Gaming, browsing, recreational production = Acer! (Prices vary by retailer, but I'd think a minimum of $399.00 is a reasonable estimate.) That's what I use for my home "fun" stuff, and I use my Mac for all my "important" stuff that I can't afford to lose. Time Machine (Mac OS X 10.5 and up) is the best backup software on the market in my opinion.

I was thinking about getting a Mac too, though I'm not sure yet. By the way, if you like normal notebook, I'd suggest HP and Dell, and maybe Acer. HP because every model runs great, even if its a netbook or a big desktop Pc. Dell for the same reason (I have a Dell). Acer isn't bad, and probably is one of the less expensive, but It's not very durable. If you're thinking about a Mac, and you don't have money problem, get a 15 MacBook Pro, possibly with 3.06 Ghz if you can find it. That's just incredible. Fast, easy, Fast and you can do anything with it. and it's Very durable. Or, if you like esthetics, why not A MacBook Air? It's definetely eyes-catching, and its performances aren't bad at all.

HP, Compaq, Lenovo, Mac, Dell, Acer?

All are good reliable names. Apple Mac are very good, but can be expensive.

Have a look here and read some reviews.

Mac's are the most powerful, safest, and fastest operating systems yet made by Apple. Has a high resolution. Good looking designs.

A Laptop will cost you 1,400 or more.

A desktop iMac depends on screen size and HD. It'll cost you from 1,100 to 1,500.

Best for graphic designing and more ease to use.

More reliable than Windows.

I am a Mac fan switched from windows.

I know what i am saying.

There price are worth it!

If money is not an issue, do get a Mac (Mac Mini's start at $600). It will make your life easier, more fun, but alas, also more expensive. It will also look good on your desk and play well with your iPod.

If you want 'bang for your buck', get a Dell.

If u have the money I would go for the MacBook pro 13 inch aluminum. It starts at 1199 I think, however you get what you pay for. They are much more stable than pcs they run faster, don't get viruses, etc. It may sound like a lot I money, however it really is worth it.

you incredibly cant pass incorrect with any of the foremost manufacturers anymore, Dell or Gateway could have many ideas to decide on from and that all of them basically use the comparable everyday aspects, with sturdy customer help and warranties, in case you desire extreme end get an Alienware.

mac are very good a little out of my budget $1100 or higher for a good one,but i like those msi laptop the 600 series $799 or higher check it out http://www.msi.com/
