Give me your opinions people so I can look at them. I want to buy one soon. Not interested in Mac.

What're you looking to do with it? I recommend Dell/HP, you can get the bottom of the barrel (perfect for web, email, and office-type applications) for around $500.

Edit and store my photos and stuff is about all. I figure I need at least 1 gig ram and core 2 duo processor. Maybe some online stuff but not much.

If you're not really into the greatest of the great, I would recommend 'refurbished' machines... you can get something pretty hefty for a 'reasonable' price.

If you can find the same model in the US this is a great laptop... I own one and it's great.

Great laptop

Ok so I bought one. I stuck with HP. I've had several and never had any problems with them.

AMD Turionâ„¢ 64 X2 mobile technology TL-50; 1GB DDR2 memory; DL DVD±RW/CD-RW drive; LightScribe labeling; 17" widescreen; 120GB hard drive; Windows Vista Home Premium

Vista is different. That'll take some gettin used to.
