Gateway M-6862 Didn't plan on buying it. But BB was clearing them out & I had a $100 coupon too. Had it now 6 months. Very satisfied. Got it for $425+tax. I haven't see nary a deal in the past months that equals.
Had one. Will have another. Solid notebooks, especially if you are on the go, more then just room to room.
I have had 5 Thiinkpads between work and home. Other than the rare HD failure none have ever needed service.
Poll is missing the big brands. Primary laptop, IBM/Lenovo Thinkpad T60P Several other older T41s, T23s, T22s, and T21 2x Dell Latitudes 1x Vaio Thinkpads are my favorite laptops...yeah not flashing looking (which to me is good)..but they're durable workhorses that can take a beating. 1 Latitude, the T60P, are the commonly used ones. Older Latitude, the Vaio, and most of the other T series sitting in a pile....I have the T41 running my home firewall (PFSense), use the other T20 series for dorking around with *nix and some *nix router distros.
My own machines: Primary laptop -> Toshiba Second mobile computer -> netbook Asus Other in the firm : Fujitsu-Siemens , BenQ-Siemens , Acer Toshiba are my favourite! At first I was going to get a Dell but thanks , God , I didn't make that mistake
