Laptop Build Quality

[Integr8pg]

Macbook Pro with 8GB RAM and 256GB SSD with Windows 7 and OSX Snow Leopard installed either as dual boot or with Xen

Poo, that's not my choice cos I'm poor :-(

True MacBook Pro is great quality. I bought one 4 weeks ago and really like the hardware. But computers are about software, and Mac just isn't there when it comes to the business environment software. Every where I turn I have to compensate for getting something to work like PC software. I am running my own business now, and it is just not practical to use a Mac. So I am going back. I have Win 7 on my machine, but the fact you need to shut down and restart to switch between Mac Os and Win makes it really difficult. Invariably you will want access to something that is "on the other side" no matter whether you are in Mac or Win.
I want to find a hardware manufacture who gets it like Apple does but builds for Windows. Full support, full integration with software/hardware. Surprisingly still a difficult quest.

I have owned

3x HPs
1x Compaq
1x Asus
1x Toshiba
1x Dell

I have also used frequently
Lenovo
Mac

I put the brands in this order

Asus (by far, loved that thing, my brother has a lower end one and like his too)
HP (there is a reason I have had 3, until I tried an Asus this was tops
Lenovo (used in school alot, good machine)
Toshiba (meh, not horrible, but felt cheapish)
Dell (did not like it, but not terrible)
Compaq (bad.... bad..... dont buy one of these they suck)



Apple- in a list by itself. It is a great piece of hardware that I would put right at the top, but I honestly just dont like Mac OS and think the price performance ratio is terrible. You pay a huge premium for the brand. I dont think I will ever buy one.

I think hp laptops are the best. macs are too expensive and dell are also of low quality.

definitely my friend has one sense 2009... and he keep saying its the best for gaming ....put to be honest he has really expensive laptop

Just stay away from dell. Bought a xps 15 lx502, had numerous problems, overheated like crazy (95+ degrees when gaming), battery somehow weared down to 60% within a year despite rarely using it on battery (something like 50 cycles). Power cord frayed (could see copper wire) major safety hazard, kept freezing up, could not update drivers so certain programs would not work
