Laptops > 2 GB and higher Laptops > $1,200 - $1,600

Advantages: -----------
Disadvantages: ----------

To achieve this tiny design, Apple made some sacrifices, both obvious and curious. Losing the optical drive was obvious, and a $99 DVD-RW add-on seems reasonable to us. Less obvious was the omission of Ethernet. Though the device has the most advanced 802.11n Wi-Fi, we don't think this will be enough. Frankly, we're surprised that Apple didn't include any flavor of 3G network, with their good buddy AT&T, perhaps. We're shocked that there isn't an ...
...still recommend a Macbook for Apple enthusiasts who just want something simple. The Air is for road warriors, but it doesn't serve that community as well as it could. Beyond the wireless internet accessory, we think Macbook Air users are going to find themselves carrying lots of accessories and extra cables. The Superdrive is one. A memory card reader is another. No reason why Apple couldn't simply tack on an SD card reader, the rest of the industry ... Read review

Advantages: Thin, light, tightly built
Disadvantages: Very poor screen that malkes this laptop useless.

...in my life. HP support replaced the screen - same thing. The problem is with the screen - not with the driver or graphics card. This laptop has "the best" 17" WUXGA anti-glare non-glossy display HP has to offer + NVIDIA Quadro 1600 graphics card with 512MB memory. Tried several drivers - same horrible quality. When attached to external monitor looks fine. But if I have to have an external monitor, - why use laptop? This is especially frustrating ...
...this laptop is touted by HP as ideal for 2D/3D graphics design and modeling. Nothing could be further from the truth. This is simply false advertisement on HP part. HP on-site "next day" "business critical" is support simply horrific. It took two weeks for the person to appear on site (he was supposed to be there next day after I reported the problem according to on-site service contract), did not fix the problem (well the problem is not fixable ...

Advantages: Comes with great standard specifications
Disadvantages: Can start to get pricey

...not when you buy a dell computer, you pretty much choose the whole thing to be built to your choice, which if you aks me means that the order process is all part of this pc!! Now I've had my dell inspiron 1520 for nearly a year ( i'm even writing this review using it!) and even though you can order it to your specification, this model wasn't changed much from the basic spec so it gives a good insight into standard etc. First off, upon ringing through ...
...order twice saying ''thats the dell inspiron in black with...'' I found this to be the most annoying thing as if it wasn't for the fact that it was this exact pc I wanted I would have at that point taken my business elsewhere. Its' not like I was asking for a lot of difficult unusual specs or extras - it was basic with a couple of simple things. My pc did take quite a while to arrive, due to them waiting on parts which I can understand so just a ... Read review

Advantages: excellent design and easy to use
Disadvantages: Short battery life

...speed to play complicated games. Sound system is excellent, but the battery life is short, only last for less than two hours even with power save when it is npt plug in. Recommend to buy a large capacity from sony (VGP-BPL9) if you need to bring it outdoor a lot. ... Read review
