Which Is best??

by Acidburn738 Nov 13, 2005 8:14AM PST

Hey, ive been looking a little while now for a good notebook to fit my needs. Ive narrowed it down to 3 notebooks now but dont know which is best for me so i was hoping someone could help me decide. Im looking for a thin and light, some what portable notebook. The main thing for me is screen quality because i spend ALOT of my pc time watching videos. I dont do much video editing accept the occasional converting to a dvd and do no photo editing. I occasionally burn dvd's also. If anyone else has any suggestions on a good portable video pc, please let me know.

Avertec is the old Sotec. Why did they change their name?

Go with dell

I think dell would be the best choice. They have excellent products and have good customer service. I say this because I am currently a dell laptop owner.

The Compaq!!!

Well it seems like if performance is what you want you'd go with the compaq. Why? it has a 64 bit processor, an ATI graphics card and a bigger screen (14'). Good luck.
