I just bought a dell.  I've use Sony, IBM, and Compaq in the past.  I've had
the worst experience with IBM "Crash-Pad".  Subsequent machines worked just
fine.  Basically chose the Dell based on price/performance.  Seemed to have
best bang for buck.  No problems so far.

Subject: Time to buy a laptop


Though I would tap the community for some input...  Anyone out there
recently bought a laptop recently?  I've been looking at the Sony Vaio, a
few of the Dell laptops, and the Apple G4 Powerbook.

Vaio seems the most bang for the buck, being pretty slim, having a 16.1 inch
display, and not costing an arm and a leg.

Dell is in the running because I've just always considered their laptops to
be like the "old faithful" choice, but I'm not very impressed with what they
can deliver for the price.

The G4 wins hands down in the "cool factor".  I'd have to learn Dreamweaver
to use the Powerbook, but that wouldn't be a terrible thing.  I also know
some folks now have CFMX running on Mac, so that's not really a limiting
factor either.  Only PITA would be that I would have to buy both PC and Mac
copies of my IDEs so I can also still use my desktop.

Any other suggestions?
