I’m a fan of gateways…a gateway laptop gives you really good wireless internet that helps you tap in places especially if you go away. They are priced cheaply to. I have had an HP and ACER in the past and they stink. HP broke after a year and the wires kept on having to be replaced and the ACER was okay but the mouse was very sensitive. I would start typing and then the cursor would change places on me. The wireless was okay on the ACER but not as good as the Gateway.

i kinda think dell latitude or toshiba. I really like them I dont know about qosmio or tecra.
