Just curious, what is your personal laptop brand preference, and what do you use at work (If you're an IT pro, or other.)

I have a Dell Latitude D830 and am fed up with dell's customer "care" so i just bought a lenovo ThinkPad T61

looking forward to you rinput

At work we only purchase Gateway laptop's and desktops and have had great success. I personally own a Compaq Presario and have ran it to it's max and it's still running. Although here recently when I order a laptop for someone when I do computer work on the side, I just order Toshiba and haven't had a single problem yet.

MacBook Pro running Vista SP1.

I like Lenovo, they seem to be very dependable. Acer is also good and generally much lower cost.
