which is the best laptop for laptops?  

if you have unlimited budget then you should go for alienware... it is one of dells..... alienware has been called as the " computer freak's wet dream"...... so you can see the effect.... the only problem with an alienware is that it weighs freaking 5 kilos.....
If you have limited budget like 50 gs then i think dells are the best...

I've always been a fan of either Dell, or Compaq. I've had a Sony before, but they aren't really that great. If you want something good, I suggest you get either Compaq or Dell, both allow you to design it to the way that you want.

I have a Dell, that I purchased last month, and I really like it. I have used Compaq and Gateway, but I like this Dell better. It has evertything on it that I need, and then some. I do wish though that it had more USB ports, but since it doesn't, I went and purchased a USB hub, and now I have plenty of USB ports. It does have a webcam built in and it has an Intel Pentium chip, whih I relaly like, as I like them better than an AMD. All in all, it is a good laptop, and I am glad that I bought it. Take care, and happy mylotting.

not a big fan of HP because of heat issues and "no display" issues ..

right now, my vote goes to Asus .. less heat, performs well .. :)

I would go for Asus (good one cost around $1600). Asus is very solid company and they stand behind their products.

I prefer lenovo.
