I would only buy their LCDs (because they're rebadged Samsungs) and keyboards (because they look awesome!). |
actually
Dell LCD's are a lottery - yes, they do use Samsung, but also CMO (chi mei!! yes the bargain cheapest brand ever, and there is a big difference compared to samsung panels)as well as AUO who make absolute rubbish panel's |

Yeah you gotta check the individual models. Same used to go with their CRTs, not all of them were rebadged Sony's. :D

Who uses the onboard sound card for productions/mixing anyway?

You are truly the worst computer technician ever. Have you ever even opened a laptop?
Heres a bit of education for you... PSU noise will propagate through all signal paths within the laptop. Guess what that means? External soundcard makes no difference; the noise will exist in USB, firewire, PCMCIA, etc. Usually the only options are to do a ground lift (colours the audio signal and usually doesn't even work) or take the ground pin out of the PSU if it has one (voltage will jump to nearest ground when a spike occurs... which happens to be your body).
You're totally entitled to you're own oppinion, I'm just saying your oppinion is wrong and people were valid in not listening to "the computer technician". :stongue:
I'm such a cvnt. Loves it. :D |

They use different panels for the same model. So yes, the specs they publish for the model may not necesarrily be what you get. |

Who ever said i did laptop repairs? did i?
I build/repair mostly desktop PCs. So yes.. I do not know as much about Laptops as desktops.
But from personal experience using DELL laptops, And being around them with the job I hardly ever see them come back for repairs.
Each business is different.. You can't use arguements like DELLs being the most common to come back for repairs because it could easily just be human error majority of the time. Any technician will tell you half the time its the user not the computer.
You say it like Asus have never had a broken board or laptop in there life.. I beg to differ.
And like you said yourself..

Exactly..
Buy a upper market DELL and you will get a solid machine.
Buy a upper market Asus and you will get a solid machine.
You get what you pay for. At $5,000 you can't really go wrong no matter what way you go. Provided you treat it right it should last you a long time.
In the end its not up to us, And i'm NOT going to be apart of a DELL vs Asus arguement. I have better things to do..
To anwser the original question in full - Any laptop from DELL, Asus, Apple, Sony are suppose to be good.. Avoid HP at all costs.
Happy Huntings, I'm out. |

| If you don't mind a Macbook they're in your price range ($1500-$2000), usually have alot of grunt. If your a student, make sure you order through the education section of their web site for a discount. Also I think the newer ones can boot Windows XP with the Bootcamp software, although this stuff is all experimental until next MacOS release. |
