| Best laptop companies? Hello, I am new to this forum. I really want to buy my first laptop this summer, but I am not sure who to go with as a company. I want to try to stay around the $700-800 mark. I was looking at Dell's web site, but I have heard horrible things about their tech support. I am pretty confident that all the complaints are true because one time I called Dell to get a price quote on a computer, and the Indian chick couldn't hardly comprehend what I was asking. I don't want to deal with Indian tech support if at all possible. Any recommendations? -- Phillip S. ~Pilot, Aircraft Dispatcher, and Audio Newbie Extraordinaire! |

| Re: Best laptop companies? Generally speaking, you can buy about a zillion useable brand-new laptops from Compaq to Toshiba to Dell new; or IBM refurbished all for $499-700. Although you might have to wait for some rebates on the new ones. Most, if not all laptops get their parts from Chincu Taiwan, or within 1000 miles of that location. Buy a laptop that feels good to the touch, is light, and stay within your budget. 512 memory, 40gb hard drive, dvd/cd-rw, integrated wireless. The rest is gravy. dr -- dr.news //stores.ebay.com/better-price-wireless (not better than you deserve, just more than you are used to) "Phillip" <p@woh.com> wrote in message news:db4Qf.21455$rL5.6194@newssvr27.news.prodigy.n et...

If you want a balance of great performance and good price buy from HP or Gateway. The tech support is great, if the customer service rep that takes your call speaks English. The people who do not speak English will rarely pick up with DELL. -Dr. Money |
