What is the best computer notebook to buy?
July 32010
I’m looking to buy a powerful notebook with more than 2.5 GHZ processing speed. I am considering a HP. Is that a good idea?
Depends on what you want to use your laptop for, and how much you want to pay!
Also depends on choice of operating system – Windows or Linux or Apple !!!!
In my experience i suggest you take a look at the following which have performed excellently and good to high reliability -
- Power Graphics, for Gaming – Alienware
- For Multimedia: Sony Vaio
- Desktop Replacement, including P4 processor – HP
But Heavy and Hot
- Portable Laptop, long battery life, for business use: Dell
- Ultralite portable: Toshiba Portege
- Roadwarrior, Resilient, Longest Shelf and Battery Life, Most Optimized Performance : IBM Thinkpad
- Rich schoolkid whose parents buy you a laptop and they have kind hearts but not too much idea of the real world or stuff on computers (or they work in education) – Apple 
)
Lowest reliability was Toshiba, then Dell, then IBM and Sony. Some Dell models such as Dell D400 (no longer available new) has been as rock-solid as the Sony and windows XP Professional on it has never crashed. Overall best performer is IBM Thinkpad series, but their speakers are not that good.

HP’s are fine. The 4000 and 8000 models especially. You want a Centrino processor for a notebook. You should look for a 1.7-2.0 MHz Pentium M. Multiply these factors by about 1.6 to see what desktop equivalent speed they are. Pentium M’s get much better battery life, but over 2.0 MHz, they are too expensive right now. The Sony FS series is also good, as are the Dell 6000 and 9300, and 630 models.
