once you go ibm you never go back. dell is crap. toshiba, crap. gateway (are you kidding me). the only other system i would consider would be a business class hp which are good solid products. stay away from the lenovo consumer stuff though and stick with the thinkpad series.

apple and ibm (lenovo) make the best hardware on the market.

a general rule of thumb with computers is that you should stay away from consumer based or series models and go with business class. you get much better hardware and little to no bloatware.
