If you have a laptop and wnat to sell, please post them here
Must have:

CPU above 800 Mhz
DVD is a must

I'm looking for 2 laptops preferably 1ghz upto 2.2ghz at a nice price... anyone got anything in the pipeline?

Get a Toshiba, just make sure to get the extended warranty in case pixels go out. Otherwise its an excellent pick.

Sony Vaio is very good at a higher price

Anyone know any sites that are selling these Sony's at reasonable prices....

If you haven't already tried looking on pricewatch.com yet, I highly recommend it... also you might want to take a look at pricegrabber.com. :)

Stay far, far away from Sony laptops. Small things break frequently and cost a fortune to repair/replace, and Sony does absolutely everything they can to avoid honoring their warranty. Their tech support sucks too. We had several Vaios at the hospital where I used to work and I would *never* buy one for myself after seeing the poor performance of both the laptops and Sony's support department.

Anyone considering buying a laptop should read this PC magazine story:

Unfortunately this is the same for most companies . . .

so what laptop do you all recommend ?


:homer:

if you have got money and are willing to look into dell i highly reccomend them.. I have purchased multiple dell computer's and never had a problem with a warranty or support.

(might have to paste in that URL)

I absolutely love it. a rock-solid machine.

KDS are also cheap ..

I like to know more about MICRON Laptops.. I heard that they are very strong and good in support too.

:homer:

mahinder few my friends have Compaq and I hear only bad words about this brand. Especially if you like work outside.
ibm is ibm - I never hear something bad about this brand.
For me personally best forever is HP. Right now I have Sony FX, but next my choice would be HP.

Dell Refurbs! They are great.. I got a 1.4 GHz for $1200

I just bought the combo drive model on this page from Fujitsu.
http://webshop.fujitsupc.com/fpc/Ecommerce/buildseriesbean.do?series=AF

Absolutely the best notebook I've ever used. The thinnest I could find with integrated wireless and dvd/cd-rw. It's just great :D

I've got a Compaq Presario 710US. It had some heat issues right when I purchased it. It would just shut off once it got too hot. Within the first few weeks, I had to send it back to Compaq twice to get the mainboard replaced. It still gets hot now, but not as bad, and it doesn't turn off anymore.

Compaq's support stinks. For some reason, I always end up getting a foreign guy thats really hard to understand. The first time, the guy insisted that it was a software issue, although after doing Quick Restore twice, it still had problems. The first time I sent it in, they ran QuickRestore and said it was fixed. So the day I got it back, I had to call them again saying it was still having problems. They finally replaced the mainboard and, like I said, its not been too bad.

I've been looking at this:

http://www.sagernotebook.com/pages/notebooks/product.cfm?ProductType=8880#8880

My friends tell me that I will hate carrying it because it is so heavy, however, it's hard to beat the price and what it includes. Any thoughts on whether or not I should go for it?

Ive bought several sagers for employees in our company, i can say that after 3 -4 years they all still work. BUT:

1. They are very heavy!! VERY VERY VERY...
2. Little things on them break much like the sonys, most of the batterys in all of them dont stay in anymore, alot of the springs on the doors dont work or popped off, 2 out of 5 of the screens now have a pink hue to them.

But then again most are at least 2-3 years old and they sitll function, thats saying alot for as much as some of my guys have dropped and lugged them around all over the place.

I myself would recommend a toshiba or dell.

If I were to go for the three year extended warranty, that would cover things like that, would it not?
