<p>Sony does have an AMAzing screen. I bet it will kill my eyes, but its a beaut. I was on the Toshiba/Sony/HP bandwagon a while ago, then i heard someone here talk about ODM laptops (T/S/HP are OEM). I looked into the Asus line, liked what I saw, and will soon be the owner of a Asus Z70Va (yes, you read right, the refresh model), if that doesn't deliver, the Asus Z70V will be all mine.<br>
IBMs are tanks when it comes to build quality, but for everything there is a price.<br>
I wouldn't go NEar a compaq since the merger. The new compaqs look like unimaginative HPs, i mean, flat silver, boxy, not very pretty IMO. My family bought a compaq like 9 years ago, and it still manages to work like a charm, running Windows XP with 256 MB of RAM.<br>
I was looking into a Dell 9300 for its video card..then i changed my mind and decided the more important thing was heat/power management. I shyed away from dell after I heard all the awful things my friends say about their Dells...yes, dude, why did you get a dell.
Anyways, check out some ODMs...research it out, and if not, there is always dell...</p>
