I'm on Macbook Air ver1 since feb of 08 and have had no problems.
I use windows XP virtually for work but spend most of my time in snow leopard.

Yeah, but you can get a Hackintosh for cheaper.

If you are buying a laptop, seriously consider going with Dell again.

Dells are the lowest computer you can get now a days. Our company has stopped using them because of how you have to get replacement parts when things break. I own a apple my second one and love it well worth the price. If I would have to buy a computer I would go for asus or lenovo

Yup I love my asus.

Overall the asus laptops are rated as the most reliable laptops you can get. Although their market share is smaller than most.

But Dell's, HP's are pretty bad. I mean they are cheap and offer great service for big corporations which is why you see them used there alot, but their not good laptops otherwise.

If you wanna spend more consider:

Asus G73-JH series

Core i7
8gb ram
500gb hd (has two bays so you can add another in raid or get a SSD)
radeon hd 5870 w/ 1gb ddr5
17.3 LED 1920x1080 screen
Light up keyboard
blu-ray drive
Mic/Web Cam
HDMI output

Pretty much is a beast. I paid 1500 for that back last march should be cheaper now days. Also comes with a 2 year warranty and a 1 year accidental warranty straight from Asus.

I think that is overkill considering how heavy it is and how bit it is. Lenovo is the most reliable out of any computer but they are ugly I would say asus maybe a gaming computer they make but not the g73-jh

wat

How you have to get replacement parts when things break?

Dells are the same as literally every other computer on the planet. When/if hardware breaks, you fix it the same way as everything else. If you are talking about their phone support/RMA/etc. services, then I still have no clue what you're on about. Dell has one of the best business support systems out of any large computer company.

Buy a laptop with hardware that works for you. While I suggested Dell before (simply because of your price point), you can buy a laptop from any company and be happy these days.

Dells, however, get a bad rep because people love to hate on them for whatever reason. I have no idea why, but as someone who has previously worked in the tech field -- trust me when I sat the majority of the criticism is by people who don't have an even view of the playing field.

by any of the quality / reliability reports last 2 years Lenovo isnt the most reliable. top was asus followed by Apple.

Although my work laptop atm is a lenovo. Its decent, but the lenovo's are generally overpriced as well comparatively.

The Dell's aren't all bad, just stay away from the bargain basement models. I have a Dell XPS that's almost 5 years old and still running strong. The MacBooks especially the pro models are very solid and well worth the premium price point. The Asus laptops I hear are pretty good...and from my past experience with Sony, they tend wear out easily if that makes any sense. Still a good brand if you plan on upgrading every 4-5 years or so which is normal.

Just an update for those who care, I found a Sony Vaio EB series the way I wanted for a decent price. Seems to be a pretty good computer, takes some time getting used to the layout of the keyboard thought. Thanks for all the help guys!
