Toshiba or Gateway?

I have had good luck with both, but also lean toward the Gateway.

 

I'm a bit biased, but try a Mac.

 

Dell, I use them, the Christian radio station we have uses them, my friends use them, I'm on a Dell Laptop right now, the Army uses them.

Great computer and great backing if there is a problem

Price is right due to streamlined production and superior design for production and easy maintence.

Sorry, offtrck, but my humble opinoin.

Remember, EVERYBODY has a horror story on EVERY brand. But, the odds of having downtime will be lower. Again, my opinion but based on a LOT of Dell computers that I have been around, own and use.

 

Gateways have dim screens for the most part.

If you are going to spend that kind of cash, get something good.

I just bought my daughter a Toshiba Satallite M65-S9092:
17" widescreen
2.0GHz Pentium-M
1GB DDR2 RAM
100GB hard drive
Dual-layer DVD+-RW
ATI MOBILITY RADEON X600 SE - 128MB
Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition
...for $1250.

I found it through PriceGrabber.com. I put in what I wanted, chose what looked good, and they showed me the best prices (including shipping).

If you want to look for laptops, here's a link to their laptop section:

Just start choosing the options you want on the left, and let the list update. Click on the ones that look interesting to see the prices.

In Christ,

I also say Dell.

Gateway has gone the way of HP with a huge reduction in quality and cheap parts. Their customer service has also dramatically been reduced in quality.

 

How about going for an original Compaq portable! Remember these babies!!

Notes Compaq was one of the first successful IBM PC clones. Their success was largely based on a black-box cloning of the IBM PC BIOS (Basic Input Output System) that allowed them to be virtually 100% compatible with PC software and hardware.
