Its agreed amongst most who know the industry that ibm makes the best laptops, i have owned several different brands and can attest to that. It is arguable whether they are worth the premium prices they charge. However, if you have 7 to 10 grand you can spend get a
maxpac and never look back. Not really a laptop and cant use em on a plane etc but they use desktop components which blow away any laptops performance and are upgradable.
