I decided to start this thread for our overall interest and i hop everyone wl learn frm it,its all over google bt i think it wl b nice for us to do our own review here.
I hv own and used three different brands of laptop system and i hv different experienced frm each both pros and cons. My first laptop is compaq pressario and it was a decent laptop that i love bt d only issue wt it then was that it overheats a lot and i hv to sold it out immediately and d battery is disappointing and i sold it to get a hp530 centrino whch was fine to me. It didn't overheats at all even after a long hour of usage and d fan doesn't make noise,d only problem wt it was dat its a low end laptop bt its pretty good for surfing and running lighter programs. I wl rate it 2/5 coz it lacks performance and d battery is awful bt its durable coz i never took it to a technician for repair in 2yrs dat i used it.
My present laptop is a Dell inspiron laptop,very rugged and pretty average performance wt a good battery life,doesn't overheat bt d only sad experience is d issue of bluescreen wt some particular programs bt i neva taken it to a tech for one day,wl rate it 2.5/5.
My nxt machine is going to be either Asus or Dell latitude E-series bt would like to knw users review abt these two.

I think Dell latitudes and Hp Elitebook are very good models bt i wl neva do anytin wt pavilions coz d suck,screen problems,very awful batteries bt it looks attractive. I hv used a Dv5 model and had to take it to a technician wen it develops a screen problem and i sold it to hm at a reduced rate. I then got a Toshiba satellite and hv bn using it till nw alongside my Dell wtout any issue. D only prob i hv wt Toshiba is d sem battery issue bt overall,d are good models 3/5 for Tosh and 2.5/5 for Dell.
