What's the best laptop Brand?

Hi, what do you usually do with your laptop? If you are into just typing, surfing, and a bit of listening to music, and you want something very light and one which you can just stick into your bag and bring to school, while being ultra-affordable, check out the eeePC 900. :) Get it in Xandros Linux so you can enjoy a 20GB Solid State Drive (much like a flash drive) space. On Windows, it's only 14GB. If you want more power with you laptop, like you play games on it, you can go for a Toshiba Satellite or an Asus computer. I would recommend these because these are pretty durable. Ideal specs for gamers are: 2GB RAM, 80GB up hard drive, 2.0 GHz and up Intel processor. If you are trying to scrimp, just get a 2.0 GHz laptop, with 1GB hard drive, and you just buy two 1-GB RAM sticks so that you can upgrade the memory for a cheaper price. Laptop companies jack up the price for higher specs so you may end up paying a killing for what should actually cost you just around $56. Try to determine: -What weight do you want the laptop to be in? -What do you need out of the laptop? -What size of the laptop would you want? For me the best ultraportables in the market are the Macbook Air, the eeePC 900, and those of Fujitsu. I would hesitate really recommending Fujitsu because they are rather expensive. I would recommend the Macbook Air because they are just engineering beauties. They are also very stable, and what I love about the Mac is that the sleep function is superb! For the 14"-15" I would recommend Toshiba, Asus and even System76 if you're into Linux. http://www.system76.com. Acer is also good, so is Lenovo's THINKPAD line, because it came from IBM's Thinkpad line: known for its durability. Dell is also rather stable while being affordable, but I know that quite a few people had issues with Dell. Sony Vaio is eye candy, but the price tag is rather... Eek. I won't spend too much on a PC Laptop, frankly, as Asus makes great laptops at a lower price point anyway. But I would cheer you on if you got a Mac. It would truly become an investment for you if you buy one! If you want more tech tips, do visit my blog! http://nenyathegeek.blogspot.com enjoy!
