Laptop, Notebook...What kind is the best?

Well I like my laptop. Its the table in the middle of the great room, and more advanced than a notebook, but that is my opinion..

That saves me a lot of typing, should be a lot to learn there.

I have never had any problems with IBM ThinkPads.

I have a Dell XPS M1710 Laptop, with a 17" screen, and I just love it!

Anna,

I always recommend Dell - because I have never had an issue with it, you can buy online, and they offer great support. (well in Australia they do!)

Dell Website - Notebooks

I have an old Dell - about 7 years old, and it goes and goes

I also have an 2 x IBM laptops - and have replaced the motherboard in one of 3 times - other than that it works a treat

I'd HIGHLY reccommed a MacBook.

I agree with KBlaix. We have a MacBook, and it is great. If you have a lot of software that you need to run on Windows, there are a couple of different ways to run Windows on a MacBook. We are primarily a Mac household and use mostly OSX, but we also have Boot Camp and Windows XP for those times when we really need to use Windows software.

Also, we bought ours refurbished directly from Apple and were able to get the mid-range version for the low-end price. You would really never know it was a refurb.

Anna, I currently have a Toshiba laptop that I love. It has a 17" screen and the keyboard is "friendly" if you know what I mean. Definitely test the keyboard when you shop because some of them are awkward and uncomfortable. I always hook up an external mouse when I use it because I don't like the touchscreen, personally.

Having said that about the Toshiba, I have also heard that Gateway's computer products have improved tremendously. I have a Gateway desktop in my office and I like it.

Everyone's experience is different. My only problem laptop that I have had in the past was a Dell! It had to be replaced when it was six months old! Our Dell desktop that we bought for the children has been horrible, too! LOL!!

Good luck and Happy Shopping!
