Laptop Choices

I recently collected the opinions of some professionals regarding best choices for laptops. Here are some of the interesting comments (some of them are toned down to more acceptable language):

DELL
"Dell SUCKS!"
"Dell laptops are the laptops from hell!"
"Dell has the best customer service in the world."
"Dell is fine. I've been using one for some time and it hasn't had any problems."
" I don't know about Dell laptops, but our old Dell servers caused our online games to LAG. We switched to IBM, and the speed has improved."

IBM
"IBM laptops are practically bullet-proof. The laptops automatically shut off their hard-drives if they are dropped, so the impact has less chance of damaging data."
"IBM has a global service warranty. They'll honor the warranty anywhere in the world."

MAC
"The newer macs can play pc games!!!!"
"GET A MAC. It beats anything out there. No problem with viruses and all that."
"The new macs are four times faster than the old ones. They look good, they're versatile."
"A Mac is cool."

Compaq
"Compaq is fine. Even Acer is okay. Just don't buy Dell!"
"Compaq once used AMD processors, but went back to Intel. Smart move."

Generic Laptops
"Generic laptops are fine. They work well, they usually come with a warranty, and they're serviceable locally."
"Our generic laptop looks pretty."

Fujitsu
"I love this toy. It's so great. The screen is fantastic!"
"This is a wonderful laptop. I love the screen! RAAAAAAAAH!"


Personal Note: I haven't found anything wrong with Dell laptops (the ones I've used). But online, I've discovered that there's a lot of bias against Dell. Trivia: Ragnarok Online used to be hosted with the use of Dell servers. It was LevelUp! Games that switched to IBM servers.

If you have any experience with the laptop brands that appear above, please post your comments. Feel free to agree with or violently refute any of the statements that appear here.

Have an awesome week!
