+1 for HP Laptops
Acer's are my favorite.. i sold them for 2 years to businesses and i saw maybe 5 returned.
you can get an acer that will our perform a sony/hp/toshiba etc etc for as cheap as a quarter the cost.. (mainly a quarter the cost of an overpriced POS sony laptop)

A MacBook can run Windows and Mac OS. The best of both worlds, literally.
Parallels for Mac OS to enable running windows inside Mac OS is pretty sweet (if you need that sort of thing).
A good laptop would more accurately determine the available amount of time left. Or maybe its the OS.

completely over priced for what you get man.. i mean you can find deals but for the most part you're paying way more than you should just because of the name..
when i sold computers they had sonys costing 3500 dollars for simple crap while there would be an acer or HP for so much less with better spec's

anyone know how to get the built in HP webcams to work??? Do you need to be hooked up to a web cam chat site?
