I got an Acer for $258 out the door. Best deal I have gotten in a long time. Barebone but it gets the job done.

I like the acer desktops. I would say go to the store and see them for yourself, other than design...It's the processor, hard drive...ext components that make one better over the other.

My first choice:
Acer Travelmate 6293-6889
Second choice:
Lenovo ThinkPad SL400 You didn't mention but a very good option.
Third choice:
Micro Express JFL9226 Another one you didn't mention but also a good option.

This is of course assuming that you want a Windows laptop.

Acer i suggest,,,

**rypher21** · 03-30-2009, 03:22 AM

DELL would be a great choice...

I've owned a Dell laptop and haven't had alot of issues. You need to first figure out, "what will the laptop be used for?" Are you a gamer, designer, developer or just the occasional web surfer? This will all factor into what kind of laptop will best suit your needs. Your budget is $1,500 which is a great start. I know Dell is offering there everyday http://www.dell.com/everyday/ so perhaps keep your eye open at Dell you could get a really nice laptop for less then your budget. Let us know how it goes. Thanks.

^ The-pixel is right.. First thing you should do is ask yourself what do want..

But I would recommend you to buy HP or Sonny they are both good and it stay longer than others..

I personally don't think it matters in this situation which brand of laptop you have. Having your 'laptop' on for 3 days is hard on it. A desktop is a different story but a laptop can cause serious issues with over heating and such. If your laptop does that more power to you - but, somethings going to give. Laptops where built for the portable convenience and nothing more.

acer and dell worked for me

**TripleMoons** · 04-01-2009, 01:12 PM

Why go Microsoft based? Consider a Mac.

**andr112** · 06-08-2009, 12:55 PM

dell is a happy medium to my mind.

$1500 budget!

But I agree, get a Mac. Not only can you go 24 hours non-stop, you can even go 24 months without one single rebuild, and it will still run fast like it was bought yesterday, unlike ALL Wintel boxes. I just finished rebuilding my desktop last week, with Core2 Quad and 2GB the machine still came to a grinding halt. ok not that bad, but might as well.

If you MUST stick to Wintel, then definitely Sony, but keep in mind the premium you will pay for the name. Acer's Eee netbook is surprisingly good, we have one, surprising for $400, but you know netbook, bare minimum with 10" screen, very portable but may not serve your purpose.

AVOID, I repeat, AVOID HP, especially if it runs on AMD. It makes people cry. Its stupid proprietary tools and fancy OS add-ons are annoying and bog down the system in no time.

I've had a Dell desktop and a laptop before, it's pretty good I think, stable and don't give you much headache.

Dell is the best,but in getup sony is the best
