I agree,,,,my personal experience with HP has been very bad. I bought HP DV series for 78K in Dec 2006 and after 2 years,,,the laptop is almost gone,,,,,,,

well i didnt have any issues with the hardware but the casing broke with the hinges and the video strip connector died without mishandling,,,,,,took 25k to get it repaired and stil i hate it. The keypad is also broken,,,,buttons have come out of their slots,,,

on the other hand i am using Sony for 1.5 years now and its as solid as one laptop can be with quite good quantity of misuse.

Best one is IBM/Lenovo. Most reliable and solidly built machines. I have one for the last 4 years, never found any problems. My friend dropped one for 4-5 times and nothing happened at all!!!

But the price tag for Lenovo laptops is way too high.

HP ships most no. of laptops worldwide. But I don't like their build quality. Has never used one, so can't tell about the performance.

nothing as compared to the THINKPADS and the MACBOOKS

[attie4]

Think pads are good computer. take an abuse like no others.

@attie

very true and are still made for the corporate sector my brother was given a think pad very low in specs than mine but that thing was really fast and had SSD solid state hard drive in which has a capability that they the data cant be lost even i burnt or wet or shocked ect.

I am using Mac book from past I guess one year. This is the best quality you can ever have. Loved Toshiba before that. Sony is as good as toshiba but Sony gives you a better feeling. Dell is the machine that I have got the worst experience with. I kept hp twice. Used it a lot but these machines never gave me any trouble. One of them sold to my cousin and he used it for 2 more years before it started giving any problem. Most of these online reviews are biased. Hp is manufacturing variety of models. I never heard any 1 cursing Pavillion. Pressario may give an issue but its a very low end model. laptops are never long lasting as compared to desktop. Always hated Acer. Never kept any. I have heard good reviews about Gateway.

Well I Have Purchased HP Pvilion Dv5,,And Its Running Like A Beast..............

[FaiezCivic]

Can anyone tell me about those acer mini laptops ?? the ones which sell for real cheap ( 20-30k or so ) ??????

Anyone used them?

[Vaqas1]

Dont buy accer mini. Get Dell mini it comes with 10.1 inch screen and there is not much price difference.

BTW 10.1 is too small for normal use.

I purchased a lot of laptops for my company around 100..

There are only 3 brands I would buy.

1 - IBM (Lenovo)

2 - Dell

3 - Sony

I still got old Dell D505, D610, D600 and IBM T42, T43 working though we are no longer using them but still they work.

Only IBM Model that gave me problem was T60 that thing have one of the worst cooling fan.

Your all problems state damaging involved. I never knew that HP laptops break themselves, what a fragile laptop u had :S Well to be precise, everything u mentioned is because of ur mishandling, not because of quality. Since ur using Sony for 1.5 years now, let it complete 2 years and im sure, ull complain about its quality as well cuz it will broken from here n there

Some times I regret buying a dell. I should have bought a Think pad in the first place.

dosto main dell koi chay saal say use kar raha hoon changed different models and currently using 1525
i never had any problem with dell at all
secondly if they were so fragile in computers how come all call centers have dell do remember call centers run computers almost 24/7. i also had all dell setup in my call centers and these machines are strong like hell as far as i know
IBM is mostly considered for corporate use not rough use
may be im being biased to dell laikin jis cheez nay mujhay koi problem nai di usay bura kaisay keh sakta hoon

I've been through with Thinkpad, vaio, toshiba, gateway and dell.
And that's the order I rate in reliability and performance.

dell's desk tops are best though. I have one and I'm very pleased with them.

[sam007]

ZOMG!!!! I have HP Compaq!!!!!
panics

[doubletrouble]

I agree Hp's have problems but not all of them
i had hp compaq nx7400 it died after 1.5 years motherboard problem then
dv6000 which had display problem claimed warranty then
dv5 no problem in 1 year
now using dell studio 17 and till now its going good
also used sony vaio and never had any problem with it but they are expensive and u can get same spec'd laptop from hp or dell much cheaper

[docebzz]

macbook and asus are the best in my opinion.

[doubletrouble]

@type R ...thats my point
btw how is ur dell studio
um planin to buy one...once saw dell some model at my friends house..i called her but she couldnt locate the model numbr
its like...the bottom side...the place exactly under screen hinges is like half inch goin down than the rest of the laptops underside...dun know what series are they
