what Brand?...

Don't buy Branded Desktops. just buy Good Parts and assemble it. If u don't know hardware find any friend or Hardware Engineer. It is better because you can make a good Performance pc that can be upgraded whenever you like. If u buy branded one your warrenty will be limited to 1 or 2 years . But if u buy parts you will get 5 year warrenty for HDD, 3 + Year for Motherboard, Processor. 3 year for RAM Like that. And remember to buy a PC with a PCI express Graphics card if u do graphics or Gaming. Even if u don't play Games ensure That ur Motherboard have slot for PCIe CARD [not PCI slot] With out that slot u will not get value if you sell the PC later. Don't buy Dual core Sysytem. it is taking large amount of power and making heat. Core2 Duo is Best. Buy 965 chipset motherboard or Above 965 version. SATA HDD are best. and use DDR2 or above if available.

depends on the purpose n the way u want to use ur lappy !I have bought a new Notebook recently .. DELL Inspiron 640m Its pretty good !

Just to let you know I'm from Canada. I have a laptop and never will I ever own anything but. I have an LG and I absolutely LOVE IT. I own LG cell phones as well and I'm extremely happy with that brand. If I absolutely had to change I'd go HP but LG is the best in my books. Thank You and Take Care.

i am using laptop of toshiba and desktop of lenovo and i am happy from both brand....
