There are several considerations in buying laptops and here are some of the basics..

Looks - definitely you want to have a laptop which can be mistakenly recognized as an old one, so you have to select which is the most updated and stylish in terms of appearance. Right now, most laptops are getting thinner compared to their predecessors. Also, a laptop which is small in terms of screen width (14 inches below)is so stylish and more handy. Any brand of laptop can be as stylish as is seems depending on your taste.

Battery Life - this is also a major consideration in buying laptops. It also creates a lot of inconvenience if your laptop battery last for short periods only. In my experience HP laptop batteries are far better from any brand. Just always remember that when you are charging your battery, unplug the cable once it is fully charged. If you are going to use your laptop for a longer period of time, it's better if you plug the laptop to a regulated power supply and detach your battery from the laptop.

The first two are basic considerations. Below points are dependent on your applications the laptop shall be subjected once it is in operation. Applications are graphic designs, web-designs, softwares, chatting, gaming, audio and video, emails and web-browsing, etc.

Processor - buy laptop with a minimum of 2.0 GHz speed for better outputs of your applications.

Graphics - if you want good graphics, select a laptop with G-Force in it.

Operating systems - Vista and its predecessor, XP is really far from each other. Although all new laptops are basically equipped with Vista OS, try on having two OS's like XP on one drive and Vista on the other (Dualboot), so you can be more flexible.

RAM and HDD - random access memory (RAM) and hard disk drive (HDD) are also to be considered if you want higher applications. Anyway laptops right now are arriving at 2GB RAM and 250 HDD at minimums.

Hope I'd helped you on selecting a laptop. Basically, we cannot really say what laptop is the best; it depends on your preferred application usage.

go for HP TX2030 or higher version with AMD processor.

its good and i have been using it for over 1 year with processor intensive softwares.

it has dual advantage - laptop + tablet.

Macbook - Expesive but what for?

Toshiba - some models r good

ultimately HP TX has dual adv. and worth the money.
