I need a laptop. Recommendations?
CheffoJeffo:
I used to be a fan of Toshiba notebooks, then I did a run of 3 HP notebooks. The HPs had some battery issues, but were nice machines to work on with nice screens.
My current notebook is a Sony with the most horrible battery life on the planet (40 minutes if I am lucky) and a ---smurfy--- connector for the power brick. I am still not sure if I like the chicklet keyboard, but the screen is beautiful and is what made the choice easy. Originally, my business partner's wife bought it for image processing, so it has nifty adjustments for the display. A pricey option, but well worth it.
My next notebook is on order and is also a Sony. Again, mostly for the nice display, although I am downsizing from my 18.4 behemoth but keeping the resolution.
I get great deals from Dell as they supply most of my servers, but I have yet to be impressed enough to buy one. I have friends with nice flashy Dell notebooks, but they just haven't impressed me.
Haven't bought a desktop in almost a decade.

The display and the battery life are two of the most important considerations for me when choosing a notebook.

I can tell you now Stay away from HP period unless your going for a high end model.
We use Thinkpads at work and they last and last and are worth it even if the laptops don't have such a stylish look compared to other laptops.
I do recommend you don't look at a T400 (they are old stock now) We have stuck with the T line from T60 to T420 and T400 where the only ones that had an issue now and then but these are built to last.
As for the others I can't mention as i've only had one or two of the brands so I don't like to speculate.
Cakemeister:
Thinkpad +1. Not stylish, but reliable.

I have a Toshiba satellite at home, bought in 2004, still running today.
At work I use a Dell Precision M6500. It would be a decent PC if our IT department didn't load it up with crap and force us to use Win XP. :(
