I bought a vostro 1500 laptop from Dell and its amazing.If you are some one looking to get laptop for performance instead style then go for it. Below is its configuration
Core 2 Duo 1.6 GHz - good one to go with.Now 1.4 also available
2 GB DDR2 - Its 667 Mhz
160 GB SATA HDD - 5400 RPM not much if u need a 7200 rpm one
LG DVD-RW - it is Dual layer Writer
15" WXGA screen having resolution 1440x900 i was used to this resolution at my pc monitor so i was looking for a laptop with same resolution. No other company offered me this
2 MegPix integrated Cam - Its best quality one
Creative HD audio - Clear Sound
Wifi, Bluetooth - Fast and Responsive
9-Cell Battery [4-5 hour backup]- I love it even if its some bit heavy compared to 6-cell
Windows Vista Home Basic - light weight one but this laptop can hold Vista ultimate
And a Rocking 8600 GT 256 DDR2 - You can get Xtreme Drivers for this and play any New Game. I have played Rainbow Six Vegas1 and 2, Gears of Wars,Dark Missiah, ProStreet, Crysis Racer and much more.
If you by same configuration Laptop from any other company like SONY,HP then it will cost you 1 to 1.5 Lakh Indian Rupees.And i bought this laptop for 54,550 INR including all Tax.
And what make me happy is this lucky lap helped me in business a lot and got profit more than that i spent for it and with in 3 months..

I would prefer IBM or HP. Dell is good but it is not available world wide. If you don't travel much, it is ok to buy dell. If you travel world wide, and stay in many places, you will have a bad taste of it. I used to have dell and it broke down in a place where there is no dell representative office. I have to pay so much money to get my laptop fixed. Since that, I will not buy anymore dell computer. Sony is also like dell, so avoid it.

I guess it is really depending on what you need. I always prefer a lightweight laptops (2kg and below). I am planning to change my laptop soon to IBM ideaPad U10. Check it out. It has both power and style. =D
