LAPTOPS?

Look into Toshiba systems.  They should have one configured for your needs.  We have been using Toshiba laptops at my business for several years for both sales personnel and interanl workers.  By far the most stable portables available.

Personally I prefer IBM ThinkPad.

Jason,

   You will be safe with any brand name manufacturer.  However, due to the problems i have seen--stay away from GATEWAYS' laptops.  I had an NEC and a Toshiba.  Both are running without erros according to the new owners.  In fact, my 4 year old 486 dx50 Toshiba is alive and kicking with win95.  

Might be worth thinking of getting a external monitor and/or a docking station if you need a big screen sometimes. Toshiba gets my vote though the CD ROM drives are a bit cheap and nasty.

My company uses Toshiba Tecra's no major problems with them, clear screen, good CD.  Modems we use are Freespirit PCMCIA modems they do the job just fine.

Previously I have used Zenith laptops, again with no major problems.  Only drawback is the limited support, component availability depending on what part of the world you live in. (don't know about NZ ;) )

Always remember - you usually get what you pay for.

Hope this helps - MorFF

Jason71,

My company sells and supports Toshiba, Compaq, IBM, CTX, Acer, and Fujitsu laptops.  By far the one I see with the least number of problems is the Toshiba.  Next in line would be the Fujitsu.
So I would have to agree with Rowland.

I recommend IBM ThinkPad.

to dankh, this is not my question but I was wondering what were the problems you encountered with GATEWAYs?  Gateway is the Editor's choice of PC Computing.
