best laptop

IMHO:

Dell gets you the most performance/support for the money.
IBM is probably the best if money is not a concern.
I wouldn't go with any other brand.

Depends on what you are looking at the IBM T40 or higher has some very interesting features and will park the HDD heads if the unit is running and gets knocked around so the HDD lasts longer.

I've always had excellent support from IBM and they seem to have the best off the shelf systems but without knowing exactly what you are considering and what you want it for it is a bit hard to give a definitive answer for your particular needs. Like if you will be constantly in an office with mains power the Centrino CPU which greatly extends battery life may not be important to you and the Wireless connectivity may or may not be important as well.

The Centrino is the Basis for the latest platform in mobile computing so anything on that should meet just about all your needs but as far as hardware goes IBM defiantly has the edge in the technology stakes as they have things built onto their M'Boards that others do not as yet have.

With the schools i deal with and the others in the state the new IBMs are pretty good and IBM are allways helpfull and good with warrantys we get 3 years on site.

And parking the hard drive is a cool feature.

But why those 3 options only?

hello,how about panasonic? by the way between apple and window ,i know for sure apple is far more better than window ,which one do you thinks is better for me?game not a big deal ,apple less advantage with software ?music my type.

You can get the same configurations in any machine. Get as much memory as you can no matter who you go with.

For music get as large a hard drive as you can.

For windows machines:

Sony: Great machine, best screen on the market.
Dell
HP

If you are planning on doing music then the Mac is the machine for you. Get an ipod when you do.

GarageBand is the ultimate.
