hp vs sony laptops?

Archived from groups: rec.photo.digital (More info?)

Neither. I got the HP/Compaq nw8000. Works fine. Otherwise, look at the Dell
laptops. I think their decent ones are called Latitude. BTW, which digital
camera do you use? Do you intend to use it in the field to backup and post
process your images right at or close to the shooting location? If yes, the
nw8000 might be a little heavy.

I have been quite satisfied with my HP laptop. However, such aspects as
weight, and price might have different priorities in your case. The
Sony will likely be lighter, and more expensive, but such tradeoffs are
why there are different models. Either should perform well.

Oh, don't do that to your mother. Mother-in-law maybe. Either that, or
a Pinto with Firestone 500 tires.

There's better places to buy real notebooks. Like Dell.
