I'm curious to see which laptop you guys consider the best choice, and why.

Like many other things that we want in life, like girlfriends, it all depends on how you will be using them twisted
I personally would prefer an apple laptop as they run the best for using digital editing programs such as photoshop, etc. they are amazingly fast compared to Windows OS.

Yeah, I'm about to finish notebooks4free, so I'm not gonna do this site.
But like VrExe said, it all depends on how you're gonna be using it.
I'm gonna take 1k paypal from notebooks4free and I'm gonna find a good deal on a Centrino laptop because all I need is a good performance laptop with good battery life that can browse the internet a lot. That's all I basically use a computer for, the internet.

Apple owns. But then again, like the user above, I use it for graphics and music and that is what Apple is best suited for.

Yes. In my opinion it is the best non-Apple laptop. It is Apple's closest competitor as far as quality and software packages.

I keep hearing IT DEPENDS ON WHAT YOU USE IT FOR. There used to be a time when this statement was totally true! But now.....
This is only true if you have to run Apple only programs like Final CUt Pro, Otherwise the top of the line Vaio stacks up equally to the Apple any day.
I work on a apple (which is also a great machine) at work and theres no speed difference. JUST KEEP CRAP OFF YOUR COMPUTER AND YOULL BE FINE!
None of my Vaios every stopped performing. So ive never talked to their customer service). THEY ARE GREAT WITH PHOTOSHOP, FLASH 8, DV EDITING , 3D MUSIC, and whatever else you can throw at it. And there very well made.

What are the retail prices on each of these laptops?

I think between $900 and $1100 or there-abouts.

I looked up most of the prices, they are all almost exactly $1000 each, which makes sense, 20 refs x $50 per lead=$1000.
