I half agree & half disagree with the HP sentiments in this thread. HP make a great corporate laptop, but they don't make great personal machines. if you do choose to go for a HP then make sure you get one that is aimed at...

Don't get a dell, they're generally just poor quality. The sentia is quick & the display is superb (by far the best I've used) Alienwares customer support (in the UK at least) is rubbish, I've had to make my own repairs since...

In short, don't! below this follows a tale of woe and pain. I bought my sentia just over a year ago. It's a 1.7Ghz with 1Gb RAM, 40Gb HDD. I had problems from day 1, firstly the sentia arrived with the wrong keyboard, this I...
