Hey everyone... I cannot figure out what laptop I should review~! Are there any new laptops, that you cannot seem to find a review for anywhere? Please let me know! If enough people respond to this and there is enough agreement, I will do my best to get a hold of the laptop and review it. =)


I am subscribing to this thread so please let me know within the next week~!

Cheers

If you could get your hands on the Sony VGN-NW265F/B laptop with Blu-ray from Black Friday ($479 Best Buy package deal). That would be a nice review. I haven't seen any reviews on it yet and I waited in line forever to get this laptop.


I'd start by reading some of the following:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_laptop_brands_and_manufacturers

The vast majority of laptops on the market are manufactured by a small handful of Original Design Manufacturers (ODM).[2]
* Quanta sells to (among others) HP/Compaq, Dell, Toshiba, Sony, Fujitsu, Acer, NEC, Gateway and Lenovo/IBM - note that Quanta is currently (as of August, 2007) the largest manufacturer of notebook computers in the world.
* Compal sells to Toshiba, HP/Compaq, Acer, and Dell.
* Wistron (former manufacturing & design division of Acer) sells to HP/Compaq, Dell, IBM, NEC, Acer, and Lenovo/IBM.
* Flextronics (former Arima Computer Corporation notebook division) sells to HP/Compaq, NEC, and Dell.
* ECS sells to IBM, Fujitsu, and Dell.
* Asus sells to Apple (iBook), Sony, and Samsung.
* Inventec sells to HP/Compaq, Toshiba, and BenQ.
* Uniwill sells to Lenovo/IBM and Fujitsu.

Oh I think you misunderstood me! =) I am not asking what laptop to get... I receive laptops and then write reviews on them. I was wondering what laptop I should get and review next. There are many sites like notebookreview, notebookcheck, etc. but a lot of laptops still don't have reviews written for them. For instance I just wrote a review on the Sony Vaio VGN-SR590 and the Sony Vaio VGN-Z890 and Sony Vaio VGN-Z790.

Thanks for all the information though. Sorry for being unclear.
