Hmm. I bought an Advent laptop. Never heard of the brand before personally, but 3 years later and it's still working a treat. Never had any problems etc.
Bear in mind I only use it for the basics like surfing, watching vids, working and MSN and stuff and not really into the gaming side of things.
 
First what are the spacification you need in your machine

Speed?
Hard Drive?
Weight?.....*this is very important to me*
Screen?
the location of the fan.....*make sure its not only one and not only placed in the bottom of the laptop*
the location of the finger print...if you need any.....*some laptops have it in annoying place where it gives you a message every time you move your hand over it, especially if it was near the keyboard*

well for me.....Dell is good
Hp is good as well
but currently I am crazy about the design of Apple macair.....very light and stylish...check this:

No Dells. I worked for Dell and they were the worst company ever. Their tech support is horrible, and I couldn't even begin to tell you how many horror stories about them.

Go to www.ihatedell.com, and read the forums. Everything I had to deal with is there from so many customers.

If you want something good and reliable; go for an IBM or an Apple. Apple's are pricing, but the service and reliability are top notch.
 
:sl: bro :)

What do u need the laptop for? Like what is ur main use going to be? (oeps i ddnt read that u needed it for IT work :D)

am not quite sure what u mean by ''to expensive'' as in what figure :p

Had it been me needing to buy a laptop then i would go for this one here

Samsung Q310.

with 4gb of ram

250gb of harddrive

geForce go 9200M GS 256MB as a graphic card now this isn't designed for hardcore gamers, but then agian what games are you looking to play?

This laptop will cost you roughly 600-700 euro's.

Check this thread for a comparison between some of the popular brands today, in particular post #6:

I personally did some research into laptops because I'm looking to get one for the same IT purposes as well. I looked into Dell, and the best one I liked was the Dell Studio XPS 16. Very nice (the customizable one) but a little expensive. You can get similar features for lower prices. Went to HP and didn't really like them. Then I went to Sony Vaio and from the wide selection they offer, I liked the Vaio FW390.

Base price is cheap and customizing it to what I wanted only added about $300 more bringing total to $1200. With the extended warranty it'll probably be another $100, but all in all it has everything I need. Except MS Office Professional which is going to run me a good $400 imsad

On the forum I linked above, they had this helpful thread:
http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=278446

Anyway take a look at that forum and go to the "What notebook should I buy section" and make a thread there.
