HP Store Online

What are the BEST laptop computers available at a pretty reasonable cost please?

any sales at Best Buy or is Sam's club usually a better deal? A friend of mine got an HP laptop, --are they pretty good? What's so hot about a dell laptop?

1. HP is OK. Dell, Toshiba, Sony
2. DELL Laptops have being proven to be the best and most reliable on the market.
3. compaq are not too bad, price-wise for what you get. they are now owned by hp which makes its own line of not quite as great laptops. then there are a number of other reputable but not as well established companies. dell is hot right now (and i say hot with a laugh) because they are breaking into the gaming arena. however, they are expensive and their customer service is not so super. i own a vaio, but they're expensive like nuts. also run circles around the above companies. the vaio line is the only decent thing sony has put its name on. (except maybe the original playstation). i have owned: toshiba (super!), compaq (pretty good), vaio, ibm (no longer make their own line - the thinkpads got bought by lenovo, a no-name), acer (okay, but not very well known except in australia), and a couple other less well knowns. if i were to recommend anything, i would first suggest checking the following actual stores: office depot (they have great sales, but otherwise their prices are horrible), fry's (if you're near one), best buy (EXCELLENT WARRANTIES), and maybe costco or sam's , but they're not super known for computer stuff, so who knows what you'll find unless you're a hardcore gamer, i wouldn't buy dell unless they have a wild crazy sale. and, i won't buy mac notebooks until they stop charging so freaking much (i love macbooks, but they're too much even with student prices!!) no matter what you buy, do your research. you might find some good prices where you least expect them, and then again, a great looking price may hide some big lack of the technology you need. sorry for being so wordy, but i hope this helped a little!
4. The question you should be asking yourself are: How will you be using your computer? (graphics design or internet or email) How much can you afford? Only then you can make your own decision.
5. fujitsu or dell
