I have a Sony Vaio, it has just about everything needed: CDR/DVD combo, Floppy, 1394 X 1, USB X 2, Video out, good graphics and lightweight. Although I like this laptop, in hind-sight I think I would have been better off with a Dell just because I would have been able to order it with Win2K.

man this is so open ended this thread could go on forever....

you can buy very decent laptops for fairly cheap, even reliable and certified refurbished machines - I think the OEMs have actually outsourced to 3 or 4 laptop makers anyway

what are you looking for, what are you going to do with it, you want a small or large display, is weight a consideration, peripherals and drives, battery life and, if buying used, can you count on the battery unless it's new??

post some details - lots of guys here get a vicarious thrill out of spending someone else's $$ :D

Jetta (http://www.jetta.com/) laptops are supposed to be a step above all the rest. They have low return rates and top notch customer service.

so i built a p4 1.7 1024 rambus 7200 rpm hd (about 1-2 years ago)
