Well the time has come for me to get a laptop, but I'm not sure what manufacture to get. The fiance and I are always fighting for the computer. So I would like the mobility of a laptop. Right now we have a Dell Dimension 8300 desktop. I have had a lot of success with it which has me leaning towards a Dell.
I will mainly use it for music, videos, web browsing and some document creation.
I like the Apples, but I'm leaning away because I don't know about the compatibilty with Word, Excel and Powerpoint.
However, I have narrowed it down to Toshiba, DELL, Sony and Apple.
Below is a spec that I made over at Dell. It deson't have to be exactly like this.
Please provide me some feed back.
